The Khan from the Canelo fight would give Bud a decent fight, he was awful against Vargas. I think Crawford will take him out late but interesting to see where khan is and what he’s got left.
12th. I think he sadistically carries him the length and brutally dog walks him all 12 and then posterIzes him highlight reel style with a KO of the year candidate with like 10 seconds left in the fight. Khans career over and maybe some of his well being.
As soon as Khan runs out of steam, which is usually after 4 or 5 rounds. He slows noticeably and that's when he gets caught. I'll take round 6.
He won't. It's going 12 rounds. I think, as with most fighters, Khan will be more motivated when the opponent is much more difficult. We are going to see the absolute best of Amir Khan. It's not a chin issue, it's a focus issue. If there's any fight where Khan will be focused, it'll be a chess match like this. My prediction is it goes 12 rounds, and it'll be close on the cards. (At least on the fans cards that is). Khan CAN win this fight. Look at his record..when has he ever been beaten CONVINCINGLY over 12 rounds? Never. That cannot be ignored.
he does have poor focus, but his chin is defininitely the issue, or it wouldn't be noticed as much. And although Khan has never been convincingly beaten over 12, he's also never gone 12 someone like Crawford. Khan doesn't have much ring IQ and Crawfords ring IQ is insane. If Khan does what he usually does and doesn't vary the speed of his punches, Crawford times and stops him within 7.
It’s mainly his defence. It’s nowhere near good enough against a guy like Crawford. It could be close early on but Crawford will grab the fight comfortably through the middle rounds. I do respect khan though, he’s definitely not scared of a challenge and he can still get motivated to have these big fights. That’s what is separating him apart from Brook right now...
