Does Amir's chin hold up?

[Nacho_Analstain]

Khans chin improved so much when he moved up, it really was awful at lightweight, his training and sparring has changed a lot too surely that played a part, he took some shots against Maidana that 1 year ago would have KO'd him, that being said I think Judah has a different kind of power than Maidana, his shots are harder to see and he has a lot of 'pop'.

The question you asked is the only reason I'm excited for this fight, Khan will have too much speed and will out box Judah but Judah always has a punchers chance against Khan.

Khan under Ariza has much improved punch resistance, Maidana was made his Mandatory in mid 2009 but didn't fight him until late 2010 and there was a reason for that. If he would have faced Maidana instead of Salita or Paulie he would have more than likely been knocked out.

Amir has a decent chin, it's his temples where he's weak. I think Amir Khan will cope well with Judah's power. Obviously, a well placed undercut will hurt him, but I don't think he's going to give Judah too many opportunities to land it.

I thought the Maidana fight would have answered a lot of questions about Kahn's chin, but haters will be haters...

Kahn wins on points by a wide margin, or maybe even forces a late stoppage. He's far too good for Zab at this stage in his career. Kahn may not have a chin like La Motta, but he showed against Maidana it's certainly not made of glass.
