If Amir Khan gets to fight his style of fight then I think there’s no way he loses this one. Maidana needs to win the first two rounds to have any chance at this one and you just don’t see him going the full twelve rounds. Amir Khan is training with Freddie Roach and Manny Pacquiao in the build up to the Pacquiao vs Margarito fight. This is going to give Khan a distinct edge and you can definitely see Roach deploying a very tactical gameplan to pull this one off.
Amir Khan will stop Maidana in the seventh round.
