He won at the end of the 7th TKO. Both were knocked down once but Horn outboxed him. Laid a heap to the body.

[Fart Cummings]

[bkozican]

Not long now

 

[bkozican]

Nice co main event so far

 

[bkozican]

Canelo via ko in the 7th - 9th

 

[carloss]

Close, round 6

Respect to Khan for going up in weight but dammm...Canelo with a vicious right hand

 

[Furn2]

Dam! was always on the cards that might happen. khan was schooling him for 5 rounds just that one mistake.

 

[Furn2]

I still say Khan would've had every chance against Floyd, no coincidence they never fought.

Canelo v GGG ... That is what boxing needs

 

[Furn2]

Loved hunter and khan calling for the GGG fight.

Boxing needs more fighters like khan.

2 of the judges had khan down 3 rounds before the ko yet also heard khan dominated before the one punch so what one is true?

First 4 rounds were clearly khans, 5th was close but still a khan round. 6th was in The balance but you could see Canelo doing better as the fight went on.

Looked like khan was getting robbed regardless. Canelo got a draw with Floyd on one card and 11-1 v Cotto.

Judges love him.

annoying thing about boxing/mma judges to many times they favor a bloke even when clearly he wasn't winning a fight

yeah I think both need a new system of scoring where it's not just winning or losing a round.

Dont know if it was that clear cut. I gave Khan the first 2...maybe 3 but after that Canelo was starting to impose his plan. Maybe the judges seen it differently...I think it depends on how you look at the fight.

Cmon, if Canelo was ahead of khan after 5 then Pac beat Floyd.

I agree you could see Canelo was doing better in 4 and 5 but not winning the rounds.

4-1 at best to khan.

Points are academic when Khan was eyes open out cold in the middle of the ring

Canelo v GGG has to happen

True but at least he had the balls to take on a huge risk with no bs advantages.

Canelo will never fight GGG at 160.

 

[Scary_Foot_9]

I admire Canelo's bravery but GGG is in a different league as a fighter.

Boxing judges are either incompetent or corrupt if that's right (and we know from experience they can be both).

Khan was winning but I'd hardly call it a schooling though. He was using his speed and footwork to keep it at a comfortable range but you could see Canelo was just patiently biding his time for the inevitable defensive lapse and opening and then "boom", which is exactly what happened.

Still full credit to Khan for taking this fight. If Canelo and Golden Boy had his balls a fight with GGG at 160 (none of this catch weight bullshit) would've already happened.
