By Scott Gilfoid: It was shocking how much stronger Marcos Maidana (29-1, 27 KO’s) looked compared to WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (23-1, 17 KO’s) at yesterday’s weigh-in for tonight’s fight at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. Maidana looked like a little linebacker, solid as a rock and mean looking. When he stared at Khan, I could of sworn I saw daggers coming out of Maidana’s eyes and shooting for the skinny throat of Khan.

Khan wants his next fight in the UK, could Prescott be next?
By Jim Dower: Provided that WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (23-1, 17 KO’s) beats challenger Marcos Maidana (29-1, 27 KO’s) tonight in Las Vegas, Khan will likely be fighting in the UK possibly in Manchester in his next fight. This won’t likely be against the winner of the Devon Alexander vs. Timothy Bradley bout, however. Instead, it will be a stay busy fight for Khan to fight in front of his fans in England. Bradley or Alexander wouldn’t fight in England now, and HBO likely wouldn’t go for the idea either since the difference times zones would make it so that the fight would be either on delay or it would have to be shown during non-prime time and that’s not going to happen.
