    Fair play to Amir last night. I actually thought he was brilliant all night (bar the 10th).

    The 1st round when he got tagged I was like 'here we go again' but he took the bombs well and produced a fantastic body shot to drop maidana who I thought was out of it.

    In the 10th he showed grit, determination and willpower to stay in there when a middleweight would have been dropped.

    My fight of the year I think.

    I dont think a rematch is necessary as I thought it was a convincing win, but I wouldn't mind seeing it again at all!

    War khan!!!!!!

    Khan's chin is weak.

    But he's tough, he has heart, and he's improved his conditioning and his defense and skill. He knows to keep his chin down and he knows to move in the same direction as the incoming punch. I think he's a really good fighter. He's still got plenty of room for improvement.

    I wasn't really surprised at all by his performance, I've always known this kid can fight.
    I was more surprised by the punishment Maidana took.

    Khan went agaianst his instincts last night and fought like gatti in his fights with mickey ward to prove a point which he did. If he had used is boxing skills it would have been a wider margin of victory.
