Junior Witter: "Amir Khan Fight Will Probably Happen"

Juan Manuel Marquez is Silent No More
By T.K. Stewart - The big fight is still eight weeks away and the man who was always quiet in the past, now seems to be the one who is talking the loudest. That man is Juan Manuel Marquez and on Sept. 19 in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena he will take on trash talker extraordinaire Floyd “Money” Mayweather, Jr. It is one of this year's most eagerly anticipated bouts. For the majority of his 16-year-long professional boxing career, Marquez has let his opponents do all the talking. He was a man that was seemingly content to let the others shoot their mouths off while he saved his speeches for the ring and communicated with his fists. But Marquez now carries the sport of professional boxing in Mexico on his shoulders. That honor means he is the man holding the torch that was begrudgingly handed off to him by Julio Cesar Chavez, Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera. It also means it's time for him to speak his mind.

Can Amir Khan Crack the Andreas Kotelnik Code?
By T.K. Stewart - Freddie Roach and one of his other stars, Amir Khan, arrived in England about 10 days ago. Back on Khan's home turf, they have continued with their rigorous preparations leading up to tomorrow night's WBA 140-pound title fight against Andreas Kotelnik at the M.E.N. Arena in Manchester, England. It's been Roach's job to re-build Khan's confidence and ensure that what happened last September against big punching Breidis Prescott never happens again. Namely, that Khan doesn't go overboard while trying to knock someone else's block off and forget all about what is coming back at him. Prescott swamped the young British sensation in only 54 seconds. It was such a quick demolition job that many figured Khan's career as a contender was finished before it ever really began. While there is no question that Khan has all of the offensive tools in the world – the questions are still swirling about the strength and quality of his chin. But since the debacle against Prescott, Khan has chalked up two quick wins over Oisin Fagan and Marco Antonio Barrera and now he and Roach find themselves on the verge of winning a title. Should they prove successful in that endeavor they will be on the precipice of what could be a succession of mega fights at or around 140-pounds.

Don King, Michael Jackson and King Kong Invade Sunrise
By T.K. Stewart - There were a few big heavyweights on the stage yesterday afternoon in Sunrise, Florida at the final pre-fight press conference ahead of Saturday's fight between Vic Darchinyan and Joseph Agbeko. Their names were Don King, Michael Jackson and King Kong. King was fresh from a trip earlier in the week to Los Angeles where he attended Michael Jackson's memorial service and engaged in a peaceful and harmonious show of respect with Rev. Al Sharpton, Rev. Jesse Jackson and old friend Mike Tyson. When he took the stage yesterday, King spoke as though Jackson was a live component of Saturday's big show at the BankAtlantic Center that will see Darchinyan and Agbeko battle for the latter's IBF bantamweight title belt. Ever the promoter, King used Jackson's name and the U.S. Military as an opportunity to sell his latest show. Never mind that his man, Joseph “King Kong” Agbeko is from Ghana and Darchinyan was born in Armenia but now calls Australia home. King was able to seamlessly weave all of that into a prepared speech that tied Jackson, the U.S military and a prizefight all together. With a life-sized, 25 year-old picture of he and Jackson in the background, the self-proclaimed “World's Greatest Promoter” who once advocated the Jackson family in a series of concerts in the 1980's, he called the “Victory Tour” began his spiel.
