Amir Khan victorious in fight of the year

Khan successfully defended his WBA light welterweight title for the third time. Tonight in Las Vegas Khan was fighting on the soil of West coast of the United States after making his stateside debut at Madison Square Garden, New York on the East coast last May when he outclassed Paulie Malignaggi.

The 24-year-olds Argentinean opponent had a fearsome record with 27 of his 29 wins coming inside the distance, 20 within three rounds, 10 in the opening round. Marcos Rene Maidana was regarded by most as being one of the top four fighters in the 140 pound division boxing rankings.

From the opening bell Khan offered his hand for the customary touch em up; Maidana ignored the gesture and swung a haymaker that missed. Khans tactics were evident from the opening bell, jab and move. Maidana landed two flush shots to silence the critics regarding the Bolton fighters chin. Khan regrouped and re-established the jab before targeting the body of Maidana, a left to the body nearing the end of the round sent Maidana to the canvas and doubled over in pain. In the second Khan was accurate with combinations he unloaded with blistering speed. Maidana found success in the third were he clipped Khan with several shots to the chin. The Argentinean challenger had a good forth after landing several uppercuts through the high held guard of the champion. Khan was clearly winning the fight when he opted to move and utilise his speed and movement, but like a man with something to prove Khan continued taking risks in a display of machismo. Referee Joe Cortez deducted a point from Maidana in the fifth after he led with the elbow.

Khan survived a mini crisis in the sixth after Maidana drove him toward the ropes and penetrated the guard with several crisp uppercuts. Maidana bossed Khan in the seventh as both traded savage exchanges in a fast paced encounter that was beginning to take its toll. Khan took the eighth in a round where Marcos Rene appeared flat footed as a result of his efforts in the previous round.

Just when Maidanas punches looked like pushing shots with no snap; he detonated a shot on Khans chin that rocked him to the core, Khan looked out on his feet but survived almost two minutes badly hurt. As he went back to his corner at the end of the tenth his legs where jellied .Khan remained on his feet throughout the tenth where he absorbed punishment to silence any doubters on his metal and chin.

The bombs landed would have floored a horse. Khan certainly won over the crowd in Vegas who were on their feet with a fight that has to be up there for fight of the year. Khan won a unanimous decision but Maidana must also be praised for giving the fans a great fight that had fans on the edge of their seat for the entire fight.

Khan has expressed his desire to showcase a fight on home soil for his many British fans. 2011 will most likely witness Khan make a voluntary defence back in the United Kingdom before he embarks upon a fight with the winner of other titleholders in the division; Devon Alexander (WBC/IBF) and Timothy Bradley (WBO), both meet on January 29 in a bizarre bout with politics dictating that only Alexanders WBC title will be on the line, and if Bradley wins the WBC gold will not be strapped around his waist but will become vacant; consequence of a previous dispute with the world boxing council. Im sure team Khan will be rooting for Alexander and an opportunity to secure the four major titles, a feat no one has managed since the formation of the historical division in 1926.
