Judges' cards: 48-47 49-46 for Canelo, 48-47 Khan

That's how I had it.

 

The majority here were anti-Canelo trolls, welcome to ESB by the way,
so those scores were not surprising. :deal

 

If Golovkin fights Canelo in Texas he will need a KO to win. Oscar has all the Texas judges in his pocket. Ask Paulie M. :hey

 

I knew the judges would rob him anyway. remember 1 judge had canelo floyd a draw. khan was winning easy 4-1 and maybe even 5-0

 

Thank you for the welcome

Even if people are Anti-Canelo, it doesn't mean they're wrong

 

im considering leaving this place for good.

freaking embarrassing that fans dont know how to score a fight

 

Like I've said before, Canelo haters are the whiniest.

Complaining about the scorecards after a KO like that. smh.

 

But it odds are they're very biased:deal

 

Canelo took over in the 3rd round. First 2 rounds were close but I thought Khan edged them with combinations, then Canelo started taking over. Still all the rounds were very close.

One mistake I thought Khan made was not throwing the jab enough. Every time he threw that jab and move he was able to control Canelo. But then by the 5th Khan’s activity started going down and you could sense he was tired. Still that’s when you can keep Canelo away with a jab. At one point Khan actually countered a Canelo body shot with a jab that landed flush and got Canelo’s attention. Khan should have continued to the use the jab to keep Canelo off.

 

i had it 3-2 canelo.

 

I agree that the Canelo haters are annoying, but they are right about the first 5 rounds. But if this was Martin Murray vs Khan, and the fight played out 100% the same, they'd be saying that Martin Murray was up 4-1 or something LOL, just like every GGG fan calls Murray/Abraham a robbery. That being said, as someone who is unbiased and actually is a big Canelo fan, it's obvious that Khan was clearly winning 4-1,3-2, before the stoppage. However with canelo wining the 6th, and since he was clearly coming on, the fight would probably turn to Canelo's favor as the later rounds played out.

 

In the first few rounds Khan threw his flurry of shots and leave the jab hand in Canelo's face to stop the counter. Once that stopped Canelo started connecting

 

khan 5 to 1

 

4-1 Khan or 3-2 Khan before the KO. Khan was the ring general, using the jab well and landing better shots, but Canelo started to find his rhythm and timing and got the job done.

The most brutal knockout of Khan's career. I think Khan should hang it up. All of those years with Virgil Hunter means nothing if you're making the same elementary mistake of holding out your hands for no reason lol. Khan did the same vs Garcia and got beat, the exact same thing happened again.

 

Yeah and Canelo walked into a few of those. Khan did have the right game plan, but when fatigue set in Khan didn’t stick to that strategy and you could see Canelo get more comfortable. It was a very interesting fight. I think Khan’s going to be kicking himself when watching the replay, when he sees how well he was doing, and how he got caught.
