Amir Khan (26-1-0 KO18) looked sensational in unifying the WBA and IBF belts in his five round victory over Zab Judah (41-7-0 KO28).

From the first bell Khan was the busier man, taking the centre of the ring moving left and right and firing straight rights and lefts from range that either tagged Judah, or stopped him in his tracks. In the second Khan continued to get off first, bossing his man from the middle and bloodying Judah to the nose and mouth. Khan was simply throwing more, landing more and Judah who at times managed to be elusive under fighter, was unable to send anything back.

At the end of the third Judah's corner were already concerned and Whittaker could be heard imploring his man to throw more and halt the Englishmen's charge, but Judah was being routed. Khan continued in the third and fourth as he had before, Judah slipped what he could and fired back with some wild upper cuts that missed the target. By the end of the forth Judah already looked fatigued, the mouth slightly open and face bloodied. In the fifth he took his opportunity to get out of there.

After another dominant start to the round by Khan the two fighters came in close. When they did Khan unleashed an uppercut on the inside that landed on the belt line, Judah went to his knees claiming a low blow, the ref simply started counting to ten. Judah remained down for the count, holding his groin and taking his opportunity to avoid a sustained beating. Khan celebrated deservedly. Judah will say he was cheated but in essence he did as he has sometimes been accused of in the past, he took a way out that meant he could cry wolf.

A dominant performance by Khan for whom possibilities now look endless, MEB didn't give Judah a round.
