Absolutely spot on point

I think Amir showed signs that he can be great, but at times he looked so amateurish I reckon I would have landed a few on him!!

No way is he ready to step up yet, he needs to learn not to mix it up with his chin in the air for a start- he got caught flush on numerous occasions by good left hooks. If that was someone with a harder punch, Amir would have been in trouble IMO.

I also think he also overestimates his own power, he was visibily getting frustrated when the guy didn't crumble at his punches, and as he isn't necessarily a huge puncher, he needs to realise men are going to be able to take him the distance- he was mixing it up at the end to get the knockout against a guy who could match him well on the inside... he's got a lot to learn.

Fair play though, it was a good win, but he needs more experience before considering stepping up IMO...
