I would love to see Amir step up in opposition hopefully these fights can be made soon.

maybe but it was the accurate and proffesional manner in which he did it aswell. He's doesn't naturally come forward and yet picked his shots excellently when he did and cut off the ring very well. Never opened himself up like he normally does when he goes for a flurry, kept his gloves high and really has developed some power due to planting the feet better. Also added some excellent body shots to his shot selection. Not sure if he even got tagged once that fight, even against an opponent such as Bull to win in such a clinical manner is very impressive.
Personally i think Bull didn't throw many punches because he knew Khan was a counter puncher and wanted to try and catch him coming in, not something Khan normally does. Unfortunately Khan was just far too quick and powerful for him to handle.

gotta agree with you there......you don't just walk in and throw on a counter puncher.....Khan is looking better...but he does need to step it up just a little....

Definately agree his opposition needs to step up a two or so notches. Its quite clear now that he's well above what he's been fighting so far and its time to take on the Thaxton Earl ect ... Unfortunately Warren will milk him for 3 or so fights yet probably before he fights anyone decent.
Re: Khan challenges domestic rivals
You perform with whats in front of you I know Bull Hes not a bad fighter I thought he would give one or two problems, He didnt.
Re: Khan challenges domestic rivals
I saw a few little improvements in Amir and that body punch was a killer blow,can't think of many at the weight who'd have took that ;)
