Khan avenges Olympic loss to Kindelan

According to Associated Press reports, British amateur star Amir Khan has avenged his Olympic loss to Cuba's Mario Kindelan with points win in an amateur bout in Bolton, England.  Khan, still just a teenager, defeated the 33-year-old two-time gold medalist 19-13 over four rounds.  Last year, Kindelan defeated Khan in the Athens games then announced his retirement, a decision he obviously didn't adhere to. Khan can wait until the 2008 Olympics for another shot at a gold, but if you're going to take punches, why not get paid for it? -Scott Shaffer
