Amir Khan Vs Rachid Drilzane ( Fight in full )

it was good to see him against a live opponent (and one two weight classes heavier!) and showed he's still got a lot to work on. At least it should serve as a reality check for those who were advocating chucking him into a world title fight already.

Indeed. He has a **** defense and he gets caught quite a lot as a fight goes on. either he learns to block or he'll have to get used to hearing the ref count.

He's fought ten times and already the ****-talk is starting. who do you expect him to fight?? floyd mayweather??. Name me one great fighter who wasn't protected in a similar way early in their career.

Can't believe the complaints on this one.

For a young guy with 10 fights under his belt, thought he was one of the better prospects I've seen.
Showed an excellent array of skills against a pretty serious journeyman who came to win - Khan just too quick & skilled.

Khan still at prospect status, but definitely among the best prospects in the game, & if he continues to improve at his present rate, should be ready for solid contenders by his 20th bout (probably in about a year & a half),
& if he passes the tests, a title shot in about 2 & a half.

Very nice up & coming boxer with good power, excellent speed, & a very nice array of all-round skills to build from.
