Amir Khan Spits Fire Ahead of Canelo Alvarez’s Fight
British boxer Amir Khan believes he can tame Saul “Canelo” Alvarez when both men take to the ring in their mega middleweight clash May 7 in Las Vegas.
Khan, 29, who has been stopped twice in his career, insists trainer Virgil Hunter has taught him how to take a punch while his jab and speed will prove too much for the power-punching Mexican in the 155lbs-catchweight contest, according to the Mirror.
“The shots I’ve been hit with, I think anyone would have gone down,” said the Bolton-born boxer at the MGM Grand.
“I’ve been caught with flash knockdowns, but Virgil has made sure I’m always balanced. If I get hit with a clean shot now, I’m not off balance.
