By Charles Barrett: 74 seconds was all it took for Amir Khan to send Dmitriy Sialita back to New York

Probably never to be heard of again

I didn’t for one second think Sialita had the tools to dethrone Khan but equally I didn’t foresee quite such an overwhelming victory.

It reminded me of watching one of those nature programs, you know the one where the baby seal takes it first paddle into the big wide ocean and straight away gets eaten by a shark.

Amir did what he had to do and well done, but I think the real star of the show is the silent man in the grey suit, standing in the ring before every fight with a knowing smile.

Frank Warren has done a brilliant job with Khan, apart from the Prescott hiccup, he has steered the Olympic silver medalist to a world title, Choosing to bypass the British & European titles because he realized the were to many potential banana skins for Khan to slip on.

Instead rebuilding his man with a faded but super star name (Barrera) to get people back on board and talking, then matching him with a competent but relatively safe title shot.

And of course the icing on the cake bringing Freddie Roach on board.

At 22 yrs old Khan is a real talent blessed with blinding hand speed and great movement

He’s proved he has a fighter’s heart, getting up from knockdowns, and he’s still improving.

Questions will continue to be asked about his chin and I’m sure we will find out in the coming years if Prescott was just a blip, but lets not forget the real power behind the man, the master mover the master tactician, the real world champion Frank Warren.
