Saturday 7th May
Amir Khan vs Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (C)
For the WBC Middleweight championship
Expected start time 2am, UK coverage: BoxNation
Canelo expected to step in at 170lbs on the night with a significant weight advantage on Khan upon his first bout at Middleweight, thus making Canelo the strong favourite.
The fight is an unknown entity. If Khan carries his speed and ducks punches then he can comfortably dispatch Canelo with ease. If Khan can't get it right then he can be put down. Very interesting fight this and could elevate Khan to being 'the guy' around the 145-160 weight. A win for Khan would only solidify the belief that Mayweather wanted absolutely nothing to do with a guy that has talent to burn. A loss for Khan wouldn't be devastating at this weight but there's still an emptying Welter division to be concerned about.
