The eyes of every boxing fan was on the event that was to take place on the 23rd of July 2011 at the Mandley Bay in Las vagas and it was the fight between the WBA Light Welterweight Champion Amir "King" Khan and the IBF light Welterweight Champion Zeb Judah. The fight was made in an attempt to unify both the titles.
Khan, 24, overwhelmingly defeated the 33 year old veteran Zeb Judah. Amir Khan was in control all through the fight and didn't made a foot wrong in the 5 round fight and eventually knocked Judah out in the 5th round with a body punch.
Khan who was fighting his third fight in the United States lashed hi speedy attack on Judah from the very first round and in the 2nd round gave Judah a strong left hander under his opponent's right eye. From there Judah got on the back foot. Khan won all the rounds convincingly by the points. in the 5th round khan gave Judah a strong right hander which made Judah bowed down a bit, Khan saw an opportunity a gave a strong right hander on the waist of the American boxer which proved to be the decisive one. That was Khan's 18th KO in 28 matches.
After the fight Khan said that he open the attact early on and was able to give some good punches in the first two rounds but after the that left hander that landed below his (Judah) eye he could clearly see that the confidence in Judah's eyes vanished away and knew that it would be over anytime. A controversy began that the the punch that KO'd judah was a low one, to that Amir said that its clear in the reply that it was right on the waist belt. talking about his future fights Amir said that he wants to fight Tim Bradly and he also offered him to split the money50-50 but still he's not willing to fight means that he's just simply scared of him(Amir) and also said that it will not be long enough when he will move into the next weight category. Judah said that he was not able to listen the count and just listened the referee say OVER!!!
In a TV show "Lopez Tonight" Amir said that he thinks that Judah was wearing the belt a bit higher and if he thinks that, that was a lower blow then he must have hihg b*lls!!!!!!
The fight clearly showed that Amir Khan is in a league of his own and that Zeb Judah was just not that good enough to handle the british sensation. Amir Khan the British boxer who belongs to Pakistani decent was successful in unifying the WBA & IBF Light Welterweight belts and is now the unified WBA & IBF Light Welterweight Champion.
Amir fought a very nice fight and didn't went that hard, sticked to his game plan which shows that he is getting matured fight by fight. In every fight we witness an improved Amir Khan. My opinion is that Amir should fight Timothy Bradley or someone else before getting his hands on Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Congratulations to Amir and wish him all the best for the future.
