Canelo Alvarez and Amir Khan square off tonight Saturday, May 7, 2016 in Las Vegas in their much anticipated World Boxing Council middleweight title showdown.

Both men recently weighed in at 155 pounds for the mega-bout, slated for the new $375 million T-Mobile Arena. The pay-per-view bout will be televised on HBO with the card starting at 9 pm. E.T. Fans can live stream here.

"I feel great making the weight, and I'm look forward to a great fight," the 25-year-old Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) told a large contingent of his most loyal fans, many of whom are stoked by OddsShark listing him as a strong favorite.

"I know I'm fighting a fast fighter with a lot of experience," said a nonetheless confident Alvarez. "I can also fight and I have a lot of experience also," the Mexican star assured his fans.

Khan as big as he's Ever Been

The 29-year-old Khan (32-3-1) moved up two weight divisions to make the long talked about bout happen, which many see as a make-or break time in his career.

"It's a big challenge," said the man who has never fought at more than 147 pounds, but trained for the bout by sparring with former champions Andre Ward and Andre Berto. "I'm up against a great fighter, but I am focused and 100 percent confident I can go in there and win it."

"I think he might be a little too small," added famed trainer Freddie Roach, who once counted Khan as one of his disciples. "He's got to pitch a perfect game. I think he would've been better off fighting [welterweight titlist and fellow Englishman] Kell Brook."

Alvarez's is expected to earn at least $3.5 million for the bout, while, Khan is assured if earning $2 million in base pay.
