Audaciously going up in weight to fight considerably more robust Saul “Canelo’ Alvarez, Amir was leveled by a mighty overhead right. Undaunted, he awaits the winner of the Danny Garcia- Keith Thurman fight. He’s also keen to fight Kell Brook, at the more appropriate and suited 147 welterweight
Undaunted, he awaits the winner of the Danny Garcia- Keith Thurman fight. He’s also keen to fight Kell Brook, at the more appropriate and suited 147 welterweight category.
Regarding the Canelo fight, Amir says: “I was hitting Saul with some good shots. If I was a bit bigger and heavier I would have taken him out.
“It was a great experience for me, but you have to respect weight categories. I tested myself, but it just didn’t work for me.”
