Am I the only one getting excited for this fight? Maidana 29/30wins with 27 of them KO's... Khan a rising superstar with a glass chin.. This fight is going to be a belter !
 
Think it is the usual £14.95 for the package.

Bearing in mind this is amazing value because they are predicting up to 9 hours of coverage.
 
Good fight for Khan. If he can beat Maidana, and I think he can, then for me this undoes his loss to prescott. Khan will always have a weak chin, but in Maidana I see a guy who has the big power punches that prescott had but is far better in every other area, so a win here would prove for me that Khan belongs alongside the likes of Alexander and Bradley.

As for the fight itself, Khan will play this one close to the game plan, and win a wide UD or late stoppage. I don't think that Roach is going to let Khan take any risks in this fight, especially not early on.
 
Rumour is they Haye agreed to fight in April in Las Vegas, looks like Klitschko doesn't want to risk getting cut or something similar. could have course be a genuine injury but it is very unlike Klitschko (usually its the other boxer pulling out ie Haye, Povetkin, Valuev)
 
It's all over the boxing forums now. It sort of seems feasible. It's out of character and sort of made clear that Chisora was just a voluntary defence until Haye came around again... everyone knows the sort of conditions Haye keeps putting in front of the fights vs a Klitschko, he might have actually genuinely said something like "we fight in April/March or never as I'm retiring...". In which case, even though Chisora had almost no chance of winning this, if he starts headbutting or something (probably quite likely considering what hes done previously) and Klitschko gets a bad cut then a fight in March is probably off... for the sake of getting a cut/injured in a fight he will get no credit for winning

Probably turned out to be the best thing for Chisora as now he can talk trash about Klitschko ducking him etc, when in reality if he actually fought him this Saturday there's probably more chance he would get his career ended than win.
 
Although, many people were hoping Chisora would get his career ended after pulling the 'race' card this week. He called Klitschko's coach an 'uncle tom' for helping a white man be heavyweight champion.

Klitchco's trainier is Emanuel Steward, one of the most respected figures in boxing, who's analysis is always the best.. Actually all Chisora is repeating is the same as what Gayweather said some time ago, after he got all upset with HBO and wanted to have a dig at them.
 
I hope Khan gets KO'd. Never taken to him. I back British boxers to the hilt (and loved Prince Naseem). Khan just doesn't do it for me.

Hope it's a great fight though and Maidana's KO count rises by one!
 
Tempted to get this but with the heavy weight fight canceled and Khan not fighting until 4am or so, I am not so sure :/ someone convince me otherwise :D
