A Longer Fight Than Some Expect

Previewing the fight for its sports section, Betfair Betting considered some of the ins and outs of the bout aside from just who will win.
Naturally, the site considers Canelo Alvarez the favorite, but the writer of this particular preview claimed he’d make Amir Khan much closer in the betting and believes the fight could go longer than many are anticipating.
While acknowledging Canelo’s general superiority as well as the fact that Khan is jumping up significantly in weight and may have bitten off more than he can chew in the pursuit of a title, he argues that Khan can run around the ring and “dazzle” his opponent with sharp combinations.
Basically the thought is that Khan could go an evasive and scrappy route and lengthen the match in his own favor.
