Yeah. How dare he utilise his talent to earn lots of money. I'm sure none of us would have done the same!

I remember being 16. Actually strangely I don't, and the year I started being 16 was only 5 years ago. Think i must have been doing my gcse's but it's still pretty vague

Maybe I've was never 16.. maybe I was created in a lab at the age of 17. That might explain the extra limbs and telepathic abilities.

Is all amatur boxing like that? I must admit I was very disapointed, 4 x 2 minute rounds.  What a joke.  All that build up for 8 minutes. There was probably about 2/3 decent punches in there and the most of the time they were just prancing around.  It was a forgone conclusion that Khan would win, but the match was over before it even started!

Mostly...yes. If you saw all of Khan's Olympic bouts they were incredible exciting though. Boxing is not only about the physical aspect, it's very mental too and Khan knew exactly how to beat him.

Is that why the Cuban was quite a heavy favourite with the bookies to win then? No way was Khan expected to win that, the cuban fighter shouldn't be in the amatuer ranks but Castro doesn't let them turn pro.

I quite like the transparent scoring system in the amatuers, you can see exactly who's winning. You always seem to get a few bent decisions in the pros, maybe if they had something simular it would remove the corruption element that goes on.

The scoring can still be dodgy in the amatures because you see some good shots that don't score then a little slap that does.
