[Any Questions]

Need to watch this fight. Have read that Kahn was ahead on points up to this point.

 

[No Love]

Khaaaaaaan

 

[illmatic22]

Sick KO. I wish he'd fight Golovkin.

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

Damn...

 

[hodayathink]

Sick KO. I wish he'd fight Golovkin.

If everyone wants to get paid, that's the fight to make. And it's looking at the moment like everyone wants to get paid.

 

[Farsi]

It was pretty insane. Lots of anxiety as It took a while for Khan to respond on camera, and he was surrounded by a mob. Canelo even knew how bad it was when he got on his knees near Khan just to see if he's alright.

 

[JimiNutz]

Not surprising.
Going into the fight Khan had the speed advantage but Canelo has ridiculous power and Khan's chin is pretty suspect.

That being said, punch looks like it would have floored an elephant anyway.

 

[OG_Original Gamer]

He had to be dazed already, he dropped his hands, didn't throw a punch. Didn't protect himself at all.

 

[Reverend Funk]

whoa nice punch

 

[brawly]

Glass chin against mexican powerhouse. Saw that one coming a mile away.

 

[Ikuu]

Canelo is afraid to fight actual Middleweights or actually at Middleweight.

 

[FortuneFaded]

Sums up Bolton's form this season in the Championship.

 

[Verano]

thats one sick fuckin putazo carrying the weight of Mexico right thur...

Naw, Canelo was putting in work to Khans body. Canelo faked like he was going to the body again, Khan anticipated the body shot and went to sleep.

 

[T-Rex.]

Khan deserves respect for moving up weight classes and taking the fight on. He was doing pretty well as well, for most part, but them Canelo body shots killed him and led to that KO.

Yeah, Canelo went all "oh shit dude you okay?" almost immediately.

 

[Jzero]

Jesus Christ that was savage.

 

[TheXfactor]

we need ggg vs canelo, it would be crazy

 

[Marvel]

Fuuuuck

 

[Soleil rouge]

Canelo is afraid to fight actual Middleweights or actually at Middleweight.

He's a natural light Middleweight and fights at light Middleweight.

 

[TheXfactor]

He's a natural light Middleweight and fights at light Middleweight.

he has the middle weight title fights above light middleweight(155) and just fought a welterweight lol

 

[Jezbollah]

That was a beautiful shot by Canelo.

I do worry for Khan though, when he's been KO'd it's always been nasty. I do wonder if he has anything to really fight for now in his career.

I'm sure Golovkin vs Canelo will happen. They'll just let it brew up a little before making it happen.

While all of is true and I agree with everything you said, that shot would've dropped pretty much anyone.
Can't blame it on his weak chin (which again, I'm not saying that he doesn't have).

 

[orochi91]

That was a gorgeous punch.

 

[the_batman]

goddamn, how can people watch boxing, it's so brutal.

 

[hunnies28]

Sick KO. I wish he'd fight Golovkin.

After the fight he gave an interview and said he wanted him next.

Everybody talks big until it's time to sign the dotted line. Mayweather, Pacquaio, Alvarez are all genuinely scared of Golovkin.

i don't know anything about boxing, but aren't mayweather and pacquiao retired? why would they be scared of anyone?

 

[Premium Quality]

I'm sorry, but there are no gifs or slo-mo that gives this KO justice. You HAVE to watch it in real time to see how brutal it was. Everyone who saw it with me thought Khan was dead.
Someone please provide a clip of it in real time.

the clip in the OP shows it in real time.

You act like Golovkin and/or his camp isn't scared of Ward.

 

[GHG]

Khan bought the fake hook line and sinker. That's ultimately what ended him. If he managed to read it correctly Canelo was wide open for a second there and would have been there for the taking but it would have taken some balls to execute.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Amir Khan't.

they are in completely different weight divisions and retired

 

[Discotheque]

god damn that's crazy. props to canelo for checking if he was aiight. that's a really clean knockout.

so what happened? why did his hands give up on that hit? he seemed ready for the parry. did canelo tire him out?

 

[brawly]

While all of is true and I agree with everything you said, that shot would've dropped pretty much anyone.

I meant the outcome in general, not that particular punch.

Too much weight discrepancy with Triple G and Mayweather.

 

[Carl2291]

Khan was brave to move up 2 weights. By the time of the fight itself Canelo had to be pushing 180, far away from the 155 catch weight.

Khan needs to drop back down to welterweight and go for the Brook fight.

Canelo needs to grow a pair and fight GGG.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Fell like a ton of bricks

Thank you. That punch was sick!

 

[STILLethal]

so fuken quick holy sht...

 

[Qvoth]

much respect for khan

 

[Chichikov]

I meant the outcome in general, not that particular punch.

oh right, I agree fully then, especially considering that he moved up two weight divisions.

 

[shira]

Edit: Glad he's Okay

He looks okay, but he got destroyed with that punch. His brain is gonna take a while to recover from that.

 

[jesu]

Just watched it.
What a knockout!
I like Amir but....

Will keep an eye on Alvarez now, he's a good boxer to watch.

 

[El Topo]

After the fight he gave an interview and said he wanted him next.

No. He first said he would fight anyone and that he feared no one. He was then asked if he would fight Golovkin this year, which he refused to answer, instead just saying he would fight again.
He completely dodged the question.

 

[kmag]

That was a beautiful shot by Canelo.

I'm sure Golovkin vs Canelo will happen. They'll just let it brew up a little before making it happen.

Khan will take the domestic fight against Kell Brook and that'll be him. Too much money on the table not to.

 

[Qvoth]

isn't ggg canelo's compulsory fight now for one his belts? think i've read this somewhere
