Canelo is a good guy too.

Anyway like I said in the boxing thread, people haven't really seen GGG fight in his true form, he's been holding back and playing with his opponents in almost any fight just to give the people a show. His fight against Lemieux was a perfect example of that, it was like a sparring session to him. Canelo has little chances of beating him, I don't expect him to take the fight.

I had called for a ko in the 7th, the combination of a strong Canelo and a weak chinned Khan called for it, Khan has speed, and really that's about it, his punches don't really cause havoc, don't know where he goes from.here, yes a move down in weight, but does he get the big fights?

Canelo bringing GGG up on ring was interesting, Canelos comment in Spanish was golden 'hay que dejarnos de Mamadas" basically saying , let's stop fucking around, this fight will happen, itll either be Sept (Mex independence) or next 5 de mayo, bank on it

Big fan of Canelo but terrified to see him fight GGG. But as a fight fan I want to see it happen regardless of the outcome.

So easy to say in the heat of the moment when just last week he said Golovkin has to earn his shot. Being the mandatory and already a title holder isn't enough apparently. Called out Golovkin after the Cotto fight as well. He's just playing it up for the casual fans that were watching so that he can claim Golovkin is the one fucking around.

Billy Joe Saunders does the same. Doesn't say shit about potentially fighting Golovkin, when it's a fight a lot of people were floating around, but as soon as he's got a fight scheduled he starts running his mouth.

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

He only won round 1 & 2 in my book. Got whooped in the next 3. The body shots were doing major damage to him.

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.

Dragonfish Tail Blow!

Nope. Khan was fading fast to Canelo's body punches. He came out strong early but by the third onwards you could pretty much see Canelo was going to end it eventually.

Crazy KO was crazy. Probably tops Mason Menard for KO of the Year honors (at least thus far).

That said, this was a total shit match-up. 30/31 boxing folks picked Canelo to win, most by KO.
