He's got the talent but I would be amazed if he can dominate these divisions (LWW/WW) at this time. Also have to say that his rematch with Kindelan was one of the most poorly judged amateur bouts I've seen (and that is saying something) because Kindelan won it handily in my eyes.







That Kindelan rematch was blatantly "Fixed" imo and was a mere launch pad for Amirs pro career.

Agree it's a strong division but the facts are Amir made Barrera look like nothing and would have stopped him sooner or later regardless of that cut
Roach has got him bang on it and the difference was obvious to see (hands up high, in out style, fast feet etc...remind you of anyone?) and saprring with Pac is obviously going to pay off and to me it looks like it has already has.
Think he'll have fun with Kotelnik and get the strap but we'll have to see about some other bigger hitting fighters when the time comes.
Sad thing is it's only gonna take one Bomb bang on the jaw or temple and it's good night Khan again.
Shame really as he has every other tool in the box in abundance imo.
