"I would say it was his best performance and his most dominant performance of Amir Khan's career...he fought an elite fighter, a southpaw, a guy who toyed with Marcos Maidana, which had the fight of his life with Mayweather...I can't wait to see him in the welterweight division against a righty...this is the new and improved Amir Khan," stated Golden Boy Promotions founder Oscar De La Hoya, who talked about the changes and improvements he sees in former jr. welterweight champion Amir Khan.
