He certianly hasn't got a glass jaw but its one of his few weaknesses now, I think the weight he's packed on has helped it abit.

Khan had serious chin issues at 135. Prescott wobbled him with a goddamn jab.
He looks to be a sturdier proposition at 140, but he has yet to fight a puncher. Tonight should answer a lot of questions.

Hope DeGale gets done here....time to live up to the hype
Me too. 
I hate the prick.

Maidana doesn't exactly have a chin made of concrete either, Khan is well capable of knocking him out. I'm not a fan of Khan's but i reckon he'll KO Maidana between 8 & 10.
I'm a Khan fan but his chin is shit.
He's been hurt and decked by blown-up super featherweights with abysmal KO percentages and, as Lance mentioned, before Prescott sparked him he managed to wobble him with a jab, and not a particularly stiff one either.
It's hard to say whether it's improved since he moved up because he's barely been hit flush since Roach changed his style. It's feasible that some of the problem was down to him draining himself to make the lightweight limit, because he's massive for a light welter... how he was making 135 is beyond me. Anyway, Smith-Degale starting now.

What time is the Khan fight on? Is it on PPV?
It's PPV and its late, probably 4am.
Good start by DeGale impressive hands at times...
Well hopefully Roach has had him on constant weight exercises for his neck!!!
Ref stops it. Correct decision. DeGale is still a cnut.
Any of you lot staying up for the Kahn fight, if you could post in here when he's close to coming on that would be tip top. Cheers.
What a ridiculous stoppage.
Ortiz is fecking huge
Ortiz is a turd. Maidana made him cry.
Kahn fight starting shortly. Khan is making his way to the ring now. Sopcast has it on 80562 in good quality US stream.
Yep, Kahn on now!!! Joe Cortez, oh feck!!!
Jesus, Kahn put him down already!!!
What an opening round, great body shot fom khan
Holy shit what a body shot! Clearly hurt Maidana. What a round though, lightning fast. I dunno whether it's because the last fight I saw was Haye v Harrison but that was so fast.
Could easily have bust a couple of ribs there...

Kahn went for the big haymaker and missed, then took a big punch but seemed to ride it well.
developing into a quality fight....
Maidana doesn't seem comfortable in his shorts, he keeps pushing them down more than once every round which can't be ideal.
Maidana with a point deducted for elbows(?)
Yeah, cheating twat.
He has a cut above his right eye now. He seemed to fight back well in that round...

Maindana is mental. Great stuff
Great fight, Khan so far is ahead for me.
feck Khan rocked. The legs went then... 90 seconds of the round to last!
Scary round for Khan there, lucky to come out of that one
wow
Maidana was like a lad possesed in that round, i don't know how Khan got through it!
He is fecked. He could barely walk to the corner. He would win on points but I can't see him lasting the remaining 2 rounds. He'll either be knocked out or stopped. Looked shaken in the corner.
think Khan won the 11th
Seems to have recovered and got through the 11th without a problem. Maidana will probably go for it now in the last, needing a knockout but the chance has probably gone.
fecking great fight...that suspect chin took a fair few shots.
He should have taken an 8 count that round, so far ahead on points, it would have been the smart thing to do.

What a fight, well worth staying up for. Credit to both for the fight. Round 10 was brutal from Maidana and Khan did well to survive it. His face after he staggered to the corner wasn't pretty.
How khan survived the 10th i dont know, a fight he was totally bossing became one he could easily have found himself stopped in.
no chin
Gotta respect Khan after that.
