WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan is confident about his ability to become the first boxer to knock Marcos Maidana out.
Khan defends his title against Maidana on December 11 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Khan, along with his trainer Freddie Roach, have studied tapes on Maidana and worked out a strategy to win impressively.
"Maidana is going to get knocked out. I'm going to box him. I'm not going to make the same mistakes as the other fighters make when they fight him. I'm too clever for that. I have to move and be smart," Khan told FanHouse.
Khan spent the last few weeks in the Philippines, training with Roach and WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao. Khan had the opportunity to spar with Pacquiao over the last few days. He believes the Filipino champion is going to win by knockout, when fights Antonio Margarito on November 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
"Manny is going to be strong and sharp. Manny is going to beat him. Manny is training hard. He's looking good. It's going to be exciting. He brings the excitement. When we sparred, the whole gym would stop. We should have charged people. Manny is going to knock Margarito out. Don't get me wrong, Manny is knocking Margarito out," Khan said.
