He doesnt only present an opportunity either. He gets hit with them too, huge shots.jamesmcdonnell wrote:Yeah, but getting KTFO isn't good for business.Boxerbeetle wrote:That's why he's always in good fights, whereas Lara and Mayweather are dull as dishwater.jamesmcdonnell wrote:
No matter who trains Khan, he is always going to be vulnerable, he just cannot help himself leaving his chin sticking out -= he fights too tall and with his head held high like a kid who just got bought a toffee apple. It's never going to change, there will always be moments when he does that. Always.
Drop back down to 140 and see if he can beat Garcia. He might just pull it off, but can just as easily see a repeat.
It's very hard to go 12 whole rounds without presenting an opportunity, and when you've not got the best chin, that only leads to one result.
In which round will Canelo KO Khan?

The guys at 140 hit slightly less hard. But enough to put Khan on the floor, as Garcia did. The only difference is that Khan is just about able to get back up. At 155, he is completely KTFO.
I like Khan and his come forward style but his weaknesses are huge.

Aye right. I've not seen anyone on here say he would take the shots. The large majority expected him to get ktfoTarkus wrote:In this case he has been financially rewarded for getting KOed. He had no chance of beating Canelo. He went up for the money, not for glory as his propaganda tells you. If he wanted glory he would have taken on Brook and Thurman and try to unify the division, not a no win fight for a mega buck. And he took some of you geniuses for a ride. Coming here and telling me how he is going to take Canelos best punches because he has never been truly hurt before.freddydoesdallas wrote: The main thing is he has been financially rewarded for being entertaining too

There were few odd posts abut his chin and a large consensus about Khans remarkable bravery.freddydoesdallas wrote:Aye right. I've not seen anyone on here say he would take the shots.

Re: In which round will Canelo KO Khan?
75% of those who voted in this poll expected him to get ko'd. 37% called rounds 5/6 (i didn't call the rounds ) so I guess there are a few geniuses on the site now you mention it.Tarkus wrote:There were few odd posts abut his chin and a large consensus about Khans remarkable bravery.freddydoesdallas wrote:Aye right.

Well done the 75% and kudos to the 37%

I thought Amir boxed well through those first 5 rounds, but it was a superb shot by Canelo, and he was classy afterwards in not celebrating while Amir was down.

You could see Canelo gradually closing down the range, the end was as inevitable as bum gravy after 20 pints of scrumpy.MarkMcBurney wrote:Well....got that one wrong!MarkMcBurney wrote:+1.rossij8 wrote:Khan points

Re: In which round will Canelo KO Khan?
I still don't know how so many people could think that Khan wouldn't come unstuck eventually.
