Amir Khan Knocked Out Victor Ortiz at 16

Is there any evidence for this as im a bit skeptical about this statement?
it wasnt at the olympics.

 

it is a 100% fact and pretty well known

 

It was in 2003, Junior Olympics, 2nd round stoppage due to Ortiz being outclassed.

 

So it was an RSCO, not a stoppage off of a head blow. So much for him getting "Knocked Out".

 

Yeah a RSCO

 

I can see your point.

That's right. It didn't happened at the Olympics. I guess it probably could've happened at the Junior World Championships? If it happened at all since we have no proof of it as of now.

 

They claim it happened at the Junior Olympic Games in Louisiana in 2003; except I can't find any record of any such event. :huh

Not that it matters a jot.

 

I still can't find an independent source listing that tournament though.

Are they all destined for greatness too? :roll:
