Amir Khan

[Zirax]

Anyone else watch the fight? Must say he has come on a bit since his early days going pro. Not an ounce of fat on him and really looked upto the task. Annoyed that he is *still* getting caught with the overhand right.

He was caught a few times with this and was clearly phased by it with the constant switching of styles for around a minute. All it will take is a big hitter and he could really be in trouble. Kristjansen wasn't much of a puncher. He did come forward a lot and land some good combinations, but the raw power wasn't there.

Ol' Frank upto his usual tricks. There are two other contenders for the title which he wants to go first ($_$ anyone).... I do agree in that he has raised his game right up, but Khan does need more high level opponents to be tested against.

At least they have stopped putting him up against turkeys for him to knock down

The fight afterwards though, that was brutal. I took one look at Matthews (WBU featherweight) and Tseveenpurev and it was damn obvious from the bell in the second that Matthews was going down. The mongolian guy was just built with such damn strong shoulders, Matthews looked scrawny in comparison.
