i didnt want a link to boxrec mate

i wanted people to tell me about some of his fights, like the draws he had, the close decisions he had

did he get lucky in those fights, did he rely on very favourable judges, and if so, in what fights

He had something like 14 fights by the time he fought Sanchez. I watched the fight Saturday night and damn was he impressive for someone so green. His best was at Jr. Lw. He had a solid jaw, good all around boxing, definately solid power.

Stopping Gomez, even at that point in the Peurto Rican's career says something.

From news.bbc.co.uk:

Khan will not compete in Beijing

Khan had initially indicated that he wanted to fight in Beijing in 2008
Olympic silver medallist Amir Khan has ruled out fighting at the Beijing Games in 2008, saying that he intends to turn professional before then.
But the 18-year-old Briton played down reports he could make an instant switch after withdrawing from the Amateur Boxing Association Championships.

"In 2008, I want to be a world champion as a professional," he told the BBC.

"I could give it a year, two years or three years (before going pro), but I think it will be before Beijing."

Khan pulled out of his ABA Championships quarter-final this weekend over a ticket row, fuelling rumours that he was about to turn pro.

His camp was upset that the governing body initially offered them just 10 tickets for his bout in Great Yarmouth on Saturday.

We'll sit with the ABA next week and see what's on offer - the ball is in their court

Khan's manager Asif Veli

The ABA upped that number to 300 by rescheduling his bout for earlier in the day, but that offer was rejected.

"How come 300 have cropped up after he said he'd pulled out?" said Khan's manager, Asif Veli.

"We agreed after Athens that ticket allocations would be sufficient but the ABA have gone back on their word.

"We've told the press that we're pulling out and then they expect Amir to go back and fight on that day. I don't think that's fair."

Veli admitted that discussions had taken place with several promoters interested in staging Khan's professional fights.

"I've had them all on the phone, not just from this country," he said. "But we'll sit with the ABA next week and see what's on offer - the ball is in their court."

Frank Warren is one of several promoters to offer Khan pro terms, but he denied a deal had already been done.

"Nothing's been signed," he told Radio Five Live, although he admitted he would love to look after Khan's professional interests.

Boxers who turn pro later in their careers hardly ever make it

Promoter Frank Warren

"Hopefully they'll look at my track record and choose mine," he said.

"It's not just about money, it's what you do in your career. He's got superb talent, I'm sure he can win a world title."

Warren has no doubts that a move into the professional ranks would enhance Khan's reputation.

"He'd be fighting some of the best and learning his trade. Boxers who turn pro later in their careers hardly ever make it," he said.

"He's at the right age, he's captured the public's imagination and has a lot going for him."

The promoter insisted that there was no time limit on the offer, saying: "No-one's forcing him, it's his decision."

Some reports have suggested that Khan would turn professional after a re-match with Mario Kindelan, who beat him the Olympic final in Athens.

This could take place in the Four Nations International involving Britain and Cuba in March.

I saw his fight with Jim McDonnell on TV not so long ago. It was a cracking fight. Nelson kind of dominated the fight, but it was a superb performance by McDonnell though. He boxed really well, but was just outclassed by Nelson. In the 11th I think, one of McDonnell's eyes got really badly swollen, and pretty much closed. Nelson finished it in the final round, but it was a great fight. Nelson reminded me a bit of the Terminator, he was relentless in the fight. My memory's a bit hazy about it, but I hope it helps a bit.
