Who is going to win?
Alvarez is going in as the favourite, he’s had more fights in Las Vegas, yet he’s younger than Khan.
Pundits seem to be agreed that Amir Khan’s best hope is to take Alvarez through every round and to hope to win on points, but with Alvarez being younger, incredibly fit, and also being a dab hand at KOs, that seems a tall order for Khan.
But he doesn’t think so:
“I feel very strong. I think it’s the strongest I’ve ever been for any fight,” Khan said to the press.
“I’ve got that extra bit of weight and it has given me an edge in power. The speed is still there as well.
“It’s improved my stability. We’ve had some great sparring partners and training camp has been good. It has been very disciplined. I am sparring 12 rounds with a lot of heavier guys.”
