In a recent interview prior to the Saul ''Canelo'' Alvarez fight, Golden Boy president and former 10 time world champion in six different weight classes Oscar De La Hoya had a few words regarding the upcoming match between regular WBA super lightweight champion Amir Khan and Interim WBA super lightweight champ Marcos Maidana.
''This fight will be a tremendous war, it could be the fight of the year, it will be an intriguing match up, the public wanted to see this fight for so long and now we finally have it here,'' Said De La Hoya.
''The fight has all the ingredients of a classic, the boxer versus the puncher, the side to side movement against the straight forward fighter, it could be like Julio Cesar Chavez vs Meldrik Taylor when they fought back in the 90s, but Amir told me that he is going to stay in front of Maidana and is going to trade punches with him, so we'll see what happens,'' concluded Oscar.
