I thought Victor Ortiz did enough to beat Peterson as well, I had him up by a round.

Keep him going up the ranks, somebody will humiliate him soon enough.

Brilliant fight though. Can say what you want about Kahn, but he is very exciting to watch.

I think it's the opposite. I re-watched the fight last night. He took quite a few flush hooks on the chin throughout the fight and dealt with them fine. He was hurt with a temple shot (as you pointed out) in the 10th, but this has always happened with Khan.leighton said:JoeMercer'sWay said:So Khan barely survives against a guy who can punch.

I dont think too many of Maidana punches landed on Khans chin. I think it was more of a temple shot that caused most of the damage in the 10th round now if that would of landed on his chin he would of went down. I heard Naz on BBC5live saying he doesnt want to see Khan fight too many fights like that anymore. I think a defence against a small puncher is in order for Khans next fight who that is only a matter of time and were the fight is. I would guess maybe a defence against Olusegun or even McCloskey or even John Murray would be a fight that could happen if his next fight is in the UK. If the fight is in the US maybe Zab Judah or my wildcard would be a fight with Joan Guzman if he is willing to move up a weight all those fights are all winable and are decent fights to tick him over. The only super fight I can see him fighting is Marquez at the moment but 2 hard fights in a row would be crazy.
