By Patrick McHugh: At today’s final press conference, challenger Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) reminded the boxing fans that he’s coming to beat WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) in this Saturday’s fight on HBO pay-per-view, take his WBC title and then bring it back with him to the UK to show it off.
Khan says he’s not worried about being outweighed by 10 to 12 pounds by Canelo in this fight, because he feels his superior hand speed will take away Canelo’s power by not giving him the ability to land his shots.
