Khan vs. Canelo - May 7th in Vegas

[HacksawJimThuggin]

This is what I'm hearing.

Assuming it would be at 154. I'm a fan of Khan, but I think he's going to get KO'd early. Terrible fight for him, but the money is too good to pass up ($12 million from what I hear). Brook's camp was trying to make a fight with Khan but were told he already has a deal in place for a Canelo fight on the above date.

Might be ducktales, but we'll see.

Khan gets Ko'd, walks back to the WW division still acting like he's undefeated because he fought someone weighing 20lbs more than him.

 

[HacksawJimThuggin]

Crazy how quickly that happened. I think I've mentioned it before on here, but a close friend of mine who I grew up with is big in the boxing world, as he works directly with Al Haymon. Dude shot me a text like an hour ago because he knows I'm a Khan fan telling me the fight was on (he was negotiating with Khan's camp on behalf of Kell Brook), and this shyt is already announced. Damn.

but then the real fukkery breh is if Khan wins and he becomes GGG's mandatory

 

[Batsute]

Con has done literally nothing to earn this, especially at a weight he's never fought at. After this chin based genocide what's next? He's gonna move up to 168 and fight Kovalev.

LOS ANGELES (Feb. 2, 2016) – 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.

“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.”

“We are committed to putting on the biggest and best fights in boxing,” said Golden Boy Promotions Chairman and CEO, Oscar De La Hoya. “Canelo is the biggest star in the sport and as he demonstrated against James Kirkland and Miguel Cotto last year, he is only getting better. Those who predicted that he would take an easy fight for his first defense have been proven wrong once again. As for Amir, he has won his last five fights including an incredible performance against Devon Alexander, and now that he is back where he belongs at Golden Boy Promotions, his future is very bright, once again.”

So I guess this means Oscar wasn't bullshytting about being willing to work with anyone else in boxing to make fights.
