it was a boy vs a man, the cuban was head and sholders above Amir but not takin anything from him tho he went in there inexperianced and young and took on the best fighter in his weight division and walked away with his head up. cant ask for anymore really.

To be honest, i don't think this would have mattered regarding the final out-come. But Khan was robbed a lot of points in two different situation, firstly, he landed a lot of punches that didn't score, and secondly the Cuban was scoring points for nothing!

Did anyone else not notice that?

I seen it on a number of occasions when Khan was going in and landing maybe one or two and coming out, the Cuban was getting a point at a time, it was almost like he was scoring for getting hit! The judges were awful.

But as i said, i think the Cuban still would have won.

if you watch some of the other fights all the judges were doing that someone could land three headshots and rock the guy back no points,, put you hand forward like a guard 1 point

Fair play he did good against a very experienced opponent. He'll do well professionally when he gets into it.

Recon he would have beat the cuban given a few more rounds.

amateur boxin is alot differnt from pro boxin in terms of scoring as u have to hit the opponent clean and have full contact. ur right khan did hit him with alot of shots but they we'rent good enuff to score the points.

Something i noticed with Khan was, he gets in nice and quick but takes too long getting back, thats why he hets hit so much.
