LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Amir Khan successfully defended his WBA 140-pound title with a narrow unanimous decision over Marcos Maidana on Saturday night, surviving the stiffest test of his career with guts and skill.
Khan (24-1, 17 KOs) knocked down Maidana with 10 seconds left in the first round of the British champion's Las Vegas debut with a vicious left hand to the body, and the fight never really slowed down.
The free-swinging Maidana seemed to be close to stopping Khan during a brilliant 10th round, but Khan absorbed every shot to his head and responded with a strong 11th.
Khan answered every question ...

Oakland, CA - Andre SOG Ward (23-0, 13KO's) was able to secure a victory over the former Contender 3 champion Saiko "the Scorpion" Bika (28-5,19KO's) but not without a fight on his hands this Saturday night. With a little over 4100 fans in attendance, Ward was possibly in the toughest fight of his career. Scores were 118-110, 118-110, 120-108. The lopsided scorecards however are skewed by a tough and rumble showing by the Cameroon fighter.
The fight itself was sloppy at times. Lots of holding and hitting with Bika trying to turn it into a brawl rather than a chess match. Ward did his best to out muscle Bika

Undefeated Andre Ward successfully defended his WBA super middleweight title by unanimously out pointing Cameroon’s Sakio Bika in front of a sparse crowd at Oracle Arena on Saturday.
Fighting in front of his hometown crowd as part of a dual-site co-main event, Ward didn’t land many big shots but repeatedly hit Bika with a stinging left jab that the challenger was unable to counter. Ward won all 12 rounds on one judges scorecard and was ahead 118-110 on the other two.
Ward (23-0) was supposed to be fighting as part of the Super Six World Boxing Classic, but took the fight with Bika after Andre Dirrell pulled out of the tournament because of headaches and dizziness.
