Official Canelo vs. Khan Master Discussion Thread

[icha]

I wonder what the over/under is on the number of rounds that Khan will last. A month or two ago, I would have said 6 rounds. Now, I would say it will be no more than two or three and I am leaning towards two. To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me if Alvarez KO'd Khan in the first round.

Whichever round it is, I hope Khan will finally STFU and retire, although I know that both parts of that statement are wishful thinking.

dont be surprised if canelo carries the fight for a few rounds, it all depends if canelo feels comfortable he will try to display his skills for a few rounds(6) and then finish khan, if khans makes canelo look bad in the first round then he will try to finish it in the second round, i wouldnt put my money on the first round cuz that will make khan look like a cherrypick(you know like wade) which he actually is, and canelo doesnt want the casuals to look at it like that..

So Canelo calls up a little guy and refuses to even have any kind of rehydration limits.

Told by that rejected a re-hydration weight limit. "That's fine. I'll beat him at the weight he's happy at," Khan said

I honestly see this one going the distance. In all of Canelo's match-ups with top opponents, he goes the distance. And Khan is a top match-up. He's coming up to 155 which is basically moving up ONE division, not TWO. His speed will get him through the early rounds and I can see him landing better on Canelo than most might expect. The first half of the fight should be interesting.

However, down the stretch, I see Canelo's punches taking more of a toll and the Englishman will slowly be ground down. It could possibly end in a late round stoppage, but I think Khan survives to the end. He's not the same guy who got blasted by Garcia. I don't think he's going to go toe-to-toe or try to knock Canelo out. I'm sure he's training to go twelve fast rounds with lots of movement. Here, a win is a win. A knockout isn't required and he didn't try to force a knockout against any of his most recent opponents. The Garcia fight taught him better.

Canelo will have a harder fight here than he got from Cotto who I felt was competitive, but definitely never ahead in their fight. This one will be competitive early on I believe. And Khan is not at the end of his career. I'd say he's right around prime. This won't be an easy contest for him at all. This was good matchmaking. Of course, Canelo-Golovkin would be more fun. I hope we get that right after this.

Basically this fight ends in one of two ways imo.

A points win for Khan or A Ko for Canelo.

Oscar's judges giving the scores to Khan on Cinco De Majo?

These cards are worth so many million dollars.
