By William Mackay: It seems that WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (26-1, 18 KO’s) hasn’t exactly been eager to get back in the ring with Marcos Maidana (30-2, 27 KO’s) after taking a savage beating from Maidana in close win over him last December.

By William Mackay: Despite getting royally rocked by Marcos Maidana in his last fight in December, WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan thinks he’s answered questions about where he has a weak chin or not by standing up to Maidana’s shots for 12 rounds without going down from them.

By William Mackay: I’m still stunned that Marcos Maidana was the one that was penalized in his fight with Amir Khan in December. It seems so wrong.

By Norman Marshall: World Boxing Association (WBA ) light welter weight champion Amir Khan deserves praise for the way he withstood the constant pressing and attacking of Marcos Maidana.

By William Mackay: I hate to see people waste their time with silly pipe dreams that will never actually happen.

By William Mackay: After helping in putting on one of the most exciting fights in recent years, Marcos Maidana (29-2, 27 KO’s) really deserves a rematch with World Boxing Association (WBA) light welterweight champion Amir Khan (24-1, 17 KO’s) in losing a close 12 round decision on December 11th.

By Dan Ambrose: I neither like or dislike WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (24-1, 17 KO’s), but I am shocked that his British fans are taking his close win over Marcos Maidana (29-1, 27 KO’s) and suggesting that performances was enough to silence his critics and put him in the class of the top [...]

By Allen Hmiel: Ever since Ray Mancini beat a brave Korean Duk Koo Kim to a sad death in 1982 the Boxing organizations started the process to go from 15 rounds to 12 rounds.
