Amir Khan was behind on two of the three judges scorecards Judge Glenn Trowbridge scored it 49-46 to Canelo, Glenn Feldman scored it 48-47 to Canelo. Adalaide Byrd had it 48-47 to Khan. make of that what you will my pedigree chums. he was never going to win outside of knocking out canelo by the looks of it.
I was really impressed by Khan's hand speed, he really is super fast. Quicker than most Super Featherweights.
Khan was certainly fast, but to keep on the move for 12 rounds was a big ask, Canelo was gradually walking him down and started connecting with much more regularity. It was a step to far.
Said it before but if khan even had a 20% better chin he would be a nightmare for any fighter. It's not that he's got a complete glass jaw he's not like a smaller version of price he does take the odd decent shot here and there big his defense itsnt tight enough and he always ends up leaving himself open for a decent dig that wipes him out. Not a solid chin by any means but I still wouldn't call it glass. These knockouts must have a bad effect on a fighter though
Had Khan 4-1 up but it looked as though Canelo was carrying him imo. Canelo never got out of first gear.
That is amazing. It does show you that it's very hard to get a fair shake in a fight with Canelo. That said they need not of bothered planning to rob Khan, he was always going to get caught and KO'd.
Boxed very well opening 4 rounds but slowed from 5 onwards he should of been ahead on the cards but away from home Mexican star on bank holiday weekend,not surprised TBH. The KO didn't surprise many on here myself included it was always going to be a very likely outcome.
