 Amir Khan - The Boy Who Would Be King
After a shaky start, Khan had turned in a totally dominant performance, an impressive first Olympic contest, although admittedly against a Greek fighter who was effectively a 'wild-card’ entry, who qualified by dint of being a national at the games, as is the case throughout the Olympic programme.
Khan in fact has his work cut out even in the next round, when he faces off against the vastly more experienced and current European lightweight champion, Bulgarian Stilianov, a slippery defensive fighter who likes to box his way to victory behind a solid defence.
Khan will be a far more experienced amateur by then, and will have a further four years of senior experience to his credit by that time.

 MIRKHAND AND AMIR KHAN
Amir Khan devises phrases in the raga which center on a particular note as a theme in this passage, the note dha -- and each phrase brings out a previously hidden shade in this theme note.
Focusing on these details reveals the deftness of Amir Khan's minutiae: to vary the approaches to and departures from important notes is continually to refine their evocative power.
It appears that Amir Khan employed m1rkhand obliquely to meet the rupa or formal demands of each raga.8 The way in which these sometimes inimical forces interact in Khansahab's music is, I hope, clearer through the examples presented here.
