I take nothing away from him, he was outstanding tonight. Picked his shots well and used his youth, athleticism and hand speed to bully the older fighter.
He didn't, however, land many CLEAN shots on MAB. That is a worrying sign, as the only thing Khan really has is a great offensive game (yes, he tightened up his defense tonight, but MAB was blind in one eye for the entire fight, and still caught him once or twice).
At world class level, Khan is going to come up against somebody that can neutralise his offensive game and expose the flaws in his defense that are still there to be exploited.
IF Barrera hadn't been cut, we might have seen a different fight, but that's boxing,and it was still an impressive win for Khan, even though I am still unconvinced.
