:good Khan's only game plan seemed to be 1-2 punch combo retreat and repeat, while Canelo was actually trying to figure him out and time him.
Which took him 6 rounds, whilst losing them all. If Khans chin didn't betray him vs a 180lber it would be 12-0. Khan is in a different level to Canelo in terms of skills, just like mayweather was.
LOL you're funny You don't understand boxing very much apparently. Canelo broke Khan down and you didn't even realize what was happening in the ring. Questions for Khan during the fight- 1st question during the first two rounds: How long can Khan fight at the high intensity level? 2nd question, once Khan inevitably slows down what will his game plan be to not get caught with Canelo flush rights? 3rd question, How will Khan defend once Canelo closes the gap? Canelo got to work to the body from the get go. If you're a knowledgeble boxing fan you should know that a body attack in the early rounds while not as impressibe LOOKING as head shots will pay off as the fight wears on. Rounds 3-5 showed us Canelo getting closer and closer using that body attack that left Khans left side of the body very bruised. Haven't seen many bodies look bruised up like that during a fight. Round 6 showed us Canelo controlling the entire fight, using feints and timing to have his way in the ring producing the amazing KO punch from behind a jab feint followed by a feint right to the body that actually made his way up to Khans mandible and put him to sleep. Once you start understanding boxing more and what is happening in the ring you'll appreciate it even more. Its not always the flashy speedy punches that cause the most damage or determine who is winning the fight.
The weight disparity cuts all this out as every punch Canelo did manage to land was hurting Khan.., It was a mis match in terms of weight..
Khan did a good job at avoiding the left hook to the body - they clearly worked very hard to avoid this punch...however Canelo's right hook to the body proved just as lethal. Too big too strong. A good but futile effort from Khan.
Wrong again. Novice boxing fans as yourself too often mistake speed and flashy combos for skill but to the astute boxing fan like myself I can see past all that flash and see a very flawed fighter. Khan is a front runner and with little to no variation in his game, he also falls apart easy under pressure and makes too many mistakes. A guy like Canelo who is much more composed and complete would always figure him out and break him down regardless of size.:deal
Khan cannot even handle a super featherweights punch. How is he supposed to handle a natural Welterweights power? He can't which is why he was laid the **** out by a Middleweight like Canelo. Khan against a MW only ends in him being destroyed.
That's just it Khan is a good but not an elite fighter he will always come up short against the elites and sometimes B level guys as well. His shaky chin is only but one of his many flaws.
He can beat B level fighters like Algieri who have pillow fists. But anybody elite or anybody with any decent power will stop him.
Nonsense. Canelo has feet like blocks of cement and in 6 rounds legitimately outboxed him in round 5, had a decent case for getting round 4 and KOd him in round 6. Khan does not have elite level ability, he always makes mistakes. He was outboxed by Lamont Peterson, which should tell you all you need to know about Khan's level.
