At Las Vegas (HBO): Amir Khan vs. Marcos Maidana, 12 rounds, for Khan's WBA junior welterweight title; Victor Ortiz vs. Lamont Peterson, 10 rounds, junior welterweights; Joan Guzman vs. TBA, 10 rounds, junior welterweights; Frankie Gomez vs. Armando Dorantes, 6 rounds, junior welterweights; Seth Mitchell vs. Taurus Sykes, 8 rounds, heavyweights; Sharif Bogere vs. TBA, 8 rounds, lightweights; Jessie Vargas vs. Ramon Montano, 8 rounds, junior welterweights; Jamie Kavanagh vs.TBA, 4 rounds, junior welterweights; Michael Finney vs. TBA, 4 rounds, junior welterweights; Trevor McCumby vs. TBA, 4 rounds, light heavyweights
Khan-Maidana is a study in contrasts. Maidana might be the biggest pound for pound puncher in the world right now. Khan almost certainly has the worst chin for any elite level fighter out there. Khan might be the fastest fighter in the world right now, while Maidana's speed is middling at best. I doubt either Scott or I can tell you what you don't already know - Khan has way too much class for Maidana, but Maidana has way too much power for Khan. The result of this fight is 100% dependent on whether Maidana can catch up with Khan and sufficiently tag him on the chin to knock him out. Ortiz is still seeking redemption after his quit job disheartening post-fight interview after his bout with Maidana.
