As the superfight between Saul “Canelo†Alvarez and Amir Khan looms, a question hangs over every follower’s head: has his experience with Floyd Mayweather Jr. taught him enough lesson to bag the WBC middleweight title?
Canelo Alvarez was once picked to stage an upset against Floyd Mayweather Jr.,but was overcome by the latter’s speed and ring savvy advantage. Years after the match, he is set to fight Amir Kahn, whose speed brings back tough memories of his loss to Mayweather.
This Sunday (May 8), Filipino boxing fans will get to witness Mexico’s Canelo use his Mayweather fight experience to knock out Britain’s Khan in a world-class match via SKYcable pay-per-view.
Following his fight with Mayweather, Canelo successfully improved his record in notable fights including victories over James Kirkland and Miguel Cotto.
Khan meanwhile, puts himself in the shoes of an underdog in his first bout above the welterweight limit of 147. But as a welterweight, the British fighter further solidified his status as a world-class boxer to watch out for when he scored wins against Luis Collazo, Devon Alexander, and Chris Algieri.
Will Canelo learn from his Mayweather fight and showcase a display of powerful punches to beat Khan? Or will Khan use his speed as an advantage to outwit Canelo?
