Amir Khan looked the real deal as hefaced Dane Martin Kritjansen in a WBO world title eliminator fight in Bolton on Saturday night. Ladbrokes are currently offering paypal betting options on all UK boxing and offering great deals.
Khan looked sharp and his growing maturity was in evidence has he took his time trying to figure out his opponent. He was well worth having a bet using paypal on in this match up.
The 21-year-old had to take some punishment too, Kristjansen landied one or two right hands early on which Khan took well.
The Bolton boxer probably took all rounds but one and recovered from an action packed fourth round when he got a little over excited and used a lot of energy trying to find the big shot to finish the fight quickly. As a result Kristjansen recorded his only round of the night in the fifth. Anyone betting by round and who place bets with paypal would have really cleaned up on this one!
It was in the seventh when Khan showed his quality, first knocking down his opponent with a good powerful combination. After that he had him and on the run and showed his finishing qualities has he followed the knock down with an assault which won him the fight.
Impressive yes, but Khan is not yet the complete boxer. There is still a question mark over his defence as he often leaves himself open to a right hand punch over the top. Also he often still is prone to that adrenaline rush, trying to finish fights early.
I think these slight kinks is why the usually buoyant promoter Frank Warren was slightly cautious after the fight stating he wants to see him fight once more before going for a World title.
