Missed the Khan fight as I was just too too tired. Looking forwards to watching the highlights. Sounds like he dominated Alexander.
Pfft, bl
dy lightweight! 
And I just seen the highlights, Sky Sports 3 had them on. Watched from round 2 onwards. Khans speed was mega, he made Alexander very frustrated. Had a tiny blip in the 8th round, but nothing major. Probably his best performance of his career so far.
It's a shame Amir doesn't get the support of the average boxing fan, and for that matter all Brits.
Win/lose, his fights are as entertaining as they get, and he's far far better than everyone gives him credit for.
Who knows what will happen against Floyd, but there's only 2 fights I want to see floyd have, manny or Khan.

LEE'S DONE IT.....FKING BRILLIANT!!!!!! Delighted for him and for Adam Booth too!!!! 
Fantastic finish by Lee.LEE'S DONE IT.....F
KING BRILLIANT!!!!!! Delighted for him and for Adam Booth too!!!! He obviously learned a lot from Manny and others in the Kronk Gym.
Looked like a white Tommy Hearns with that finish.
Fantastic!!!
Could be a hard man to beat for awhile..

korobov looks fantastic and is unbeaten to boot.....but remains untested. but he is another eastern block amateur standout. 300-12 was his amateur career and a handful of world amateur gold medals to boot. I can't see past that and see him winning against lee on points (I don't see him as a murderous puncher and lee is quite durable)
Lee's amateur record isn't poor, nowhere on the level of Korobov, but there's just something about Korobov that fails to flatter me.As you say, he's not a massive puncher and doesn't rely on accumulation of punches either, just very technical.
They're both southpaws and Lee working with Booth will add to him as an overall boxer. Like I said, all being said, Korobov is favourite and I see that, but something says Lee will pull this off.
I'll probably watch him get stacked out in a round now
Against the grain pick but I doff my cap to you sir

I don't think mayweather will fight khan after that . phenomenal performance yet again from amir.
Career best win for Andy Lee there . absolutely made up for him.wonder who's next??? I bet Peter quillin feels like a now for running g away from korobov! !
Think Billy Joe Saunders is going to fight Andy Lee soon, number 1 contender for his world title.Career best win for Andy Lee there . absolutely made up for him.wonder who's next??? I bet Peter quillin feels like a

I think that there are 3x credible opponents for Khan now- Mayweather, Pacman or Brook. I think he could beat Pacquaio, certainly think he would beat Brook but it's hard to imagine anyone would get the win against Mayweather.
If that Thurman bloke fancies a go at Khan then that would be a good option also for Khan I reckon.

Come on guys
As impressive as it was for Khan, and well done to him Pacquiao and Mayweather are levels above Alexander. A point victory over Alexander isn't a very reliable litmus test unfortunately.
Khan wouldn't be able to throw his combos without fear of being tagged hard or countered
Brook is also a big question mark...he took on a tough, powerful, fast, dirty fighter in Porter and took care of him by timing him rushing in and executing a strategy.
I have noticed Khan's strategy of late appears to be about timing his jab and then running his opponent down throwing combos to the head...when he does that he is coming forward with his hands too low because he is not recoiling fully to get his guard back up....because if he did he wouldn't be so fast with his combos. Someone with power and timing able to avoid that first jab can throw him out of his stride as he isncharging forward...could be risky
