Alexander is scheduled to fight on August 7 and right now Maidana is in the lead discussion as his opponent. I think Alexander easily wins this one. http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=26501 http://www.boxingtalk.com/pag/article.php?aid=19611
After Alexander wins: "Too bad Amir couldn't get his hands on Maidana 1st, he would've tore him apart! Now there's no point in making that fight". - Kahn's fans.
It's too bad Amir couldn't get his hands on Maidana first, he would have torn him apart. There's no point in making that fight now if Alexander's gonna expose him first...
I've got Alexander by either UD, or late stoppage... but I'll be heavily rooting for Maidana to fuck him up!
What fight were you watching where you saw Urango getting to Alex? He was occasionally catching Alex with the occasional hook but even when he did it didn't do shit. Alex even said Urango's punches weren't hard so I'm pretty sure Alex won't have any trouble taking Maidana's punches either. I can't imagine there is that much of a difference in Urango's & Maidana's power, so I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Alexander has a very good chin. I think we may be reading a bit much in Maidana's power and when you factor in his shit skills I see this being another easy shutout for Alexander.
I kind of see it the way you see it. But I think that Maidana is better than Urango. They have similar styles but I think Maidana is a bit stronger and faster. Just overrall better and more dangerous for Alexander.
