PAULIE MALIGNAGGI BREAKS DOWN and Analysis ANDRE WARD VS. SERGEY KOVALEV and Canelo vs Khan
Please Subscribe. "Weight classes matter. not only is it hard to win, but guys can get hurt...weight classes should be respected a little bit more" Said former world champion and Showtime commentator Paulie Malignaggi. Kovalev is not only a puncher, he's a puncher at the heavier weight...it's not a ridiculous jump...it's a 50/50 fight...they're each bringing something to the table," stated former world champion and Showtime commentator Paulie Malignaggi, who shared his thoughts on the highly-anticipated showdown between Andre Ward and Sergey Kovalev needs to bring his arms back to defensive position to defends the opponents counters. Hope he can throw effective pot shots and stay away from the pocket. He's no Floyd but he should try be the best Amir. Pure boxing with effective aggression would hopefully be his game plan. He's NOT going to KO Canelo. But the Khan taking on a MASSIVE power puncher should be commended. Main Event: Canelo Alvarez vs. Amir Khan; 12 rounds for Canelo's WBC Middleweight Championship Arena in Las Vegas When: May 7, 2016 TV: HBO Pay-Per-View WBC Ring Magazine and Lineal Middleweight World Champion Canelo Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) will make his first title defense of 2016 against former two-time world champion and resurgent contender Amir “King” Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) on May 7, Cinco De Mayo weekend, in a match-up of two of the biggest stars in boxing. The event will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View®. Golden Boy Promotions will exclusively promote the fight, with Khan returning to his former home at Golden Boy Promotions for the showdown. The mega-fight promises high-intensity action between two of boxing’s most popular and powerful fighters competing in the primes of their careers. Information regarding, the venue, ticket availability and a press tour for the fight will be announced in the coming weeks.So Khan will move up eight pounds for what figures to be a big-time event that was made despite the well-chronicled issues between Golden Boy Promotions and Khan adviser Al Haymon. Behind the scenes, Golden Boy CEO Oscar De La Hoya and president Eric Gomez were able to make the fight without dealing directly with Haymon, against whom Golden Boy has a $300 million antitrust lawsuit pending. A lot of people had a lot of unpleasant things to say about him (much of it fair), but you need to give credit where it's due. When presented with the opportunity for a significant fight, one that most fans and experts probably won't give him a realistic shot of winning, the Brit reached for the ring and dared to be great. Khan will return to HBO and Golden Boy Promotions (for just this fight and a potential rematch, if necessary), which is an interesting development. “As the middleweight champion of the world, I will take on the best fighters in the sport and on Cinco De Mayo weekend, I look forward to making the first defense of my titles,” said Canelo Alvarez. “Amir was a decorated amateur, a two-time world champion and is in the prime of his career. Fans are in for a great fight on May 7.” “I know Canelo fights the best and wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to face me like others have,” said Amir Khan. “My goal is to always fight the biggest names and the best fighters that is why I’m excited for this fight. Also, I would like to thank my team and Golden Boy Promotions for this opportunity. I know I have the speed and ability to beat him and will give my fans what they deserve on May 7.” Folks in the YTBC seem to thisnk that Khan does not stand a snowball in hell chance of beating Canelo, Khan cant run all night, he has a glass chin just a matter of time before Canelo can crack , he feels this is his best shot, if he could beat Canelo, then there may be a chance Floyd fights him. But in the real world lmao Khan gets knocked out!!! He will make good money but he gets knocked out. Other view circulating "This fight is a joke as far as the massive difference in weight but it will bring out a large amount of casual fans and that sell's fights. I'll be supporting Khan and I hope that he beats him, however he'll have to release the MW title after if he does win and I really see that as a blessing in disguise for boxing fans, here's why. Khan beats Canelo, releases MW title.. Floyd comes back, fights Khan or the the winner of Pac-Bradley fights Khan. Golovkin and Jacobs/Eubank fight for the Vacant title, done. Whereas if Canelo beats Khan I feel like he will still continue to fight at his imaginary weight class and that will mess up the negotiations for Golovkin-Canelo yet again. I will say, Golden Boy know exactly what they're doing. You don't just pick a Welterweight that hasn't fought in a year by accident." If canelo wins it doesn't mean much He suppose to knock out Khan. Canelo has to knockout Amir, Skill wise Amir has skills to beat canelo. In and out, superb boxer, can't stay in the pocket too long.
