Devon Alexander said that it would not be difficult for him to beat Amir Khan. He said that there was already a "blueprint" on how to confuse the British boxer.

The U.S. boxer is going to fight Khan on Saturday, Dec. 13 in a crucial welterweight match as the result of the match may decide which boxer will stand a chance to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr., the biggest name in boxing at the moment, in their next match. Mayweather has already said that he will be keenly watching the Saturday match. While both Alexander and Khan may fancy their chances by winning the match, losing it may mean the end of their ambitions to challenge the world champion.

Alexander, who lost two defeats in the past, said that there was a "blueprint" of how to defeat Khan as he had already been beaten three times. He mentioned that Khan had a "weak chin" so it might be possible to "knock him out." However, he said that a boxer would not approach a game in such a manner by focusing only on one weakness of the opponent. He should be ready to go for other strategies if one does not work. "You've got to have a game plan to get to the chin or if you don't get to the chin, then you have to have a game plan to beat him for 12 rounds," Sky Sports quoted Alexander, "I've got an A game, B game and C game." He said that it would be a "good fight" since both the players were motivated. He also indicated about winning the opportunity to fight against Mayweather by saying that both the players would want to win "that big prize."

Alexander insisted that he would show his "natural ability" at the MGM Grand. While the American boxer called himself a "natural," he said that Khan had to work hard to develop his ability. He said that his skills would prevail in the match. The two-weight world champion said that Khan would not stand a chance against him as he had never played a southpaw like him. Neither did he ever fight anyone as fast as Alexander, he said. He emphasised that Khan had never fought anyone like him. He said that he would confuse the British boxer, which would surprise a lot of people. Alexander also added that he would be able to knock Khan out in the match if he stuck to the tactics which his trainer Kevin Cunningham had supplied.
