Here comes a fight to watch..
Khan vs. Canelo ,i guess its an opportunity for Khan to roll the dice now that he got the opportunity,and maybe get lucky and come out winning..i personally dont see how he can win.I think Canelo's power is gona be waayyy too much for Khan,i put more value on a guy with punching strenght/power(that knows how to fight)-than a fighter that relies just on speed.
The way i see it Khan might get rocked starting late first rnd..i see the fight ending similar to Kirkland/Canelo..khan going down 2-3 times-dont see the fight going more than 8rnds..(6rnds my guess).
This fight for Canelo=good$ and low risk fight.
For Khan=good $(#1)..and An opportunity to finally elevate his career if he gets lucky and somehow wins.
Only my prediction and how i see it..
..👍 i might be way off -anyways,should be an exciting fight!

Demps-when a fighter becomes champ in his weight division,how long does he have until he has to face the #1 ranked in that division?.do the organizations put a certain time limit?
..also,who dictates who hes gonna fight next?..is it a decision made by him and his managers?..by the organization???

 

Do you think this was a fight for Khan to take?.or should he have taken a more 'do'able'fight..
What was your thought on this
.would you've said -ok-to take it if Khan was your fighter?..why?..why not
Thnx

 

Ok...i do see your point
I think Khan was just tired of people looking at him just like an 'ok' fighter..and needed something big,he needed an ! Point.(thats also what i felt he needed)
I dont think ive seen Brooks fight..but i think going your way--Khan fighting Brook first,would've been the more careful way to go & wouldve elevated him and put more anticipation(= more $) on Canelo/Khan..

 

..I did see alot of mistakes(IMO) in Khans training camp.
First of all i would definitely tell my fighter to stop making those sounds with his mouth when he punches..
I think that only gives a fighter a false sense of security-thinking he punches harder than he really does..sure it sounds pretty-but not the reality..only sound should come from him landing hard punches(even if just hitting the mitts or bag)
Second-i dont know if you have seen it.
.when he (Khan) comes in with combinations he has a tendency to 'Paw'with some punches(one of those punches is never gona hurt anybody and leaves himself volunarble).
..Khan hitting the mitts--2-3 punches and gets corrected 😕..Virgil pointed at his head like telling Khan..'think'..'think'
To me thats like putting your fighter
down..almost suggesting his st #!$d..
These are just some small details.but over time they can add up and can slow a fighters progress.
..nothing against anybody.Khan is a good fighter,
This is just how i see it.
Thnks 😊👍

 

Demps, would you take the fight this year (if Canelo was your fighter) against GGG?
..or would you advise him to get couple easier fights first to get easier money and also to creat more anticipation and get bigger payday?
Whats your point of view on this?
Kinda like playing the Mayweather/Paquiao fight.😳
Lol.

 

👍 got it..but there is also a chance one or the other might lose against another guy--and there goes the big purse right?..
I think Canelo is gonna expose GGG..
GGG in my opinion has way less skills than Canelo..
I just think theres a big chance GGG might lose ..if they dont make the fight happen with Canelo.

 

:deal

 

yes..there are aallot of trainers that just blow my mind with what they do/say to fighters in the middle of the fight(lying to the fighter,getting ****ed off with the fighter,slapping the fighter..etc.)..
But there have been awesome trainers lately..that in my opinion are best of the best--Teddy Atlas,Cuyo Hernandez,Freddie,Duva,Futch,EMMANUEL Steward(my #1pic)...etc.
You were looking for a trainer--.i agree- Abel Sanches..better trainer..
..there is also also Jesse Reid👍 demps--hes got a gym in LA..
Have not seen Saucedos last fight--will chek it out tonight.
