A friend of mine is in korea this week he was competing in the under 19 world games btw he lost his first match against a kasakastan guy who ended up wining bronze after losing to the russian guy who won gold.
Anyway he was telling me about this 17 year old kid from uk who literally toyed with the cuban guy fighting with his hands down and all to beat him 21-6 at 132 pounds. He tells me everyone is impressed with the kid.
Seems like uk guys have a rising star right there got any info on him? i think he will be fighting at the olimpic games with only 17 years old
Uk amateur 132 pounder?
Is that the first time he had fought Kindelan do you know?Freiheit wrote:Its Amir Khan, there is more about him in the british scene forum. Khan lost 33-13 to Kindelan at the pre-olympics. If he stays amateur he will have a really good chance of geting the gold in 08.
Khan got beat in the first round of the Euro Championships in Paula,Croatia to a guy he then dismantled next time he met him.
You can see what I'm getting at .... I just wonder if Khan might give Kindelan a good go if they meet again?

My friend talked to him Kahn sez the kindelan fight was closer than the score showed. He admits he lost it but he feels it was closer. From what he told me the kid fights very similar to Hamed and had everyone in awe i think unless he gets kindelan in the early rounds of the tournament he must be entering the medal rounds or at least hed have made so much noise he will get scouted so much he wont stay for 08 Some one will put a hughe purse in front of the 18 year older i just hope it isnt Warren
