Well im not a Amir Khan fan as you know, and to be honest i wasn't in awe with the performance like the commentators were. And some of the comments from the commentator's were ridiculous.
They were actually trying to insinuate that Amir Khan's chin has got better ? how in the world does your chin improve ? sure you can do neck exercises, but a weak chin is a weak chin. And nothing can change that.
I do think however it was a solid performance, Amir Khan kept his composure. He also had decent stamina, and a better defense. And i liked the way he would put his man in check when Andriy Kotelnik would try and take over.
Overall he has improved and i think his boxing brain, has improved quite alot which is the most impressive thing to me. I do think Andriy Kotelnik fought bravely in the later rounds, and i had it 9-3 or 8-4 for Amir Khan.
I thought Andriy Kotelnik come on well in the later rounds, which i expected him to do. I still think if Amir Khan come's up against a puncher he will be in trouble though, remember Andriy Kotelnik isn't a big puncher. And he was able to land quite well in the later rounds, and in my head im just wondering if he was in with a harder puncher, would he had survived ?
I don't think so but overall a solid performance from Amir Khan, over a solid opponent. But im still nowhere near sold on Amir Khan, but for now let him enjoy his moment and im happy for him he won a world title.
