Amir Khan turns commentator for Pac v Marquez

WBA and IBF light-welterweight world champion Amir ‘King’ Khan will be ringside as a guest commentator for Primetime when his stablemate Manny Pacquiao faces off against the Mexican great Juan Manuel Marquez next Saturday night.

Khan will be on hand to watch over a potentially great night of boxing on November 12th that, away from the main event, sees Breidis Prescott take on the undefeated Mike Alvarado and Timothy Bradley against the experienced Joel Casamayor.

“I’m really looking forward to seeing some great action on November 12th,” said Khan. “I’ve been with Manny for some of his camp and I can tell you he is looking razor sharp in the gym. His speed and power is coming together at the right time but we all know how dangerous an opponent Juan Manuel Marquez is. He’s shown in the previous two fights between them that there is no quit in him and that he has the ability to cause Manny some trouble. Like everyone I’m excited about the fight because it’s clear that it’s going to be one that boxing fans are going to love,” added Khan.

“Prescott is coming off a loss to Paul McCloskey but I’m sure he will know that this fight is his last chance at reaching the big time and getting into world-title contention. Since we fought his career has not progressed the way he would have wanted but he can be a dangerous fighter because of his punching power and that makes fans interested especially because he is up against Alvarado who is undefeated,” said Khan.

“Timothy Bradley is another name on the undercard that I’m sure many will want to watch just to see how he looks after his long lay-off. It’s no secret that I wanted to fight him and prove that I’m the undisputed king of the 140 pound division, but I will be watching closely to see how he does against a veteran like Casamayor who has been in with, and beat, some of the top names in the sport like the late Diego Corrales and Michael Katsidis."
