Good opening couple of rounds for Amir.
Always expect Khan to start fast. The telling fact will be what happens if/when he gets tired or caught

This is the best Khan's ever boxed, but a long way to go. He's enough power to keep Canelo honest.

Good start to Khan.
I got him 3 - 2 up in rounds

Fast start as ever and the big question is can he keep it up for 12?

Khan does a khan.

:doh: So far. Hope he's okay (especially with Blackwell in recent memory). Golovkin has every reason to be smiling at ringside.

Gotta love Amir Khan - he can win the 1st 4 rounds against the ATGs, then blow it all in a second
:box:
Now to Wembley and leading Kell Brook by 4-0.... :stop:

I thought he had a truly dickish look on his face too whilst Khan was still unconscious. A bit too happy I thought. Go home and put your tights on Oscar.

I also don’t appreciate hb effin o showing me a load of hijos and hijas enjoying the brutal knockout. To each his own but not a place for young kids imo. Hbo tho.....get stuffed.

Khan was behind at the finish. He only won one round on one card.

So which 'ATGs' has he fought?

None that are currently bonafide ATG's, but a few that may be when it's all said and done.

True (must say I forgot him) but he didn't 'win the 1st 4 rounds, then blow it in a second' against him as skanksta asserts.

Yeah, but Barrera was well past his best both age wise and weight wise. He never belonged at Lightweight and it showed.
