Khan: Alexander Fight is a Chess Game, Hit and Move
Dec 5, 2014 • 3:36 AM ET
Amir Khan believes his Las Vegas opponent Devon Alexander “is not on the same level” as him.
The Bolton boxer will be live on Sky Sports 1 on December 13 and he told Ringside why he expects a successful night.
Khan believes his long list of attributes will overwhelm the outmatched Alexander at the MGM Grand on the Vegas strip.
“It’s going to be like a game of chess – hit and move. It’s whoever comes out stronger," he said.
Khan did acknowledge that Alexander, a former WBC and IBF light-welterweight champion and a former IBF welterweight champion, possesses a threat.
He continued: “Alexander’s a great fighter, he’s very tough and comes to fight. He’s southpaw, quite awkward, has good hands and a decent amount of power. So he’s very dangerous.
“He’s got a lot of experience under his belt, he’s a three-time world champion. Fighting for the title on a world stage, he’s tasted that before.
“I’m going to go in there and do everything I’ve learned.
