Everybody is saying if Khan chin holds up he will win as if his chin varies from fight to fight. His chin does not vary from fight to fight. He carries the exact same weak chin into every fight. Cherry pick Vargas dropped once and hurt him several times. Crawford is almost certain to blast that weak chin much harder and more often than Vargas did. I see KO loss number 4 for Khan coming up.
Will be facing Crawford next.
Thoughts?My thoughts are it's about fuking time Khan fought a really good fighter. He was KOed by Canelo almost 3 years ago and since then all he has done is fight two nobodies. I am glad he is fighting a dangerous champion instead of fighting Brook at a weight that gives Khan the advantage. Good for Khan for doing that. It's the right choice and the brave choice. It gives Khan a chance to be a world champion instead of fighting Brook who looked lousy last fight anyway and would not gain Khan a world title if he won. Khan is a huge bragger always saying how great he is and how much Mayweather and Pacquiao are afraid to fight him. By fighting the excellent Crawford he has a chance to prove he really is as good as he claims to be if he wins. Going by the way Khan looked in his last fight I think Crawford will slaughter him but Khan has very fast hands and a good jab and straight right so maybe h will surprise me and do well. I give Khan credit for taking this dangerous fight when he might have made even more money fighting Brook who would be much easier to beat.
If Khan comes in focused and mentally strong, as well as obviously in the best shape of his life, he has a great chance.
I think honestly, Crawford might squeak out a win, only because I feel Khan isn't game, mentally.
Who knows, Crawford looked very average against Benavidez who had a bum leg, and it showed in the later rounds especially.
Dunno man, Benavidez was pretty game, and the bigger man. The KO was coming, and Crawford was way ahead on the cards, what else do you want? Probably should have got Benavidez out of there quicker... but Khan, like you say, is not game, and does not have a height advantage
Gamboa, though smaller, had some success with his speed against Crawford, till Bud adjust and timed him coming in. If the corner doesn't stop it when it starts getting ugly, this could be retirement for Khan.

Khan looks good 4-5 rounds then Crawford starts to time and clips him and stops him by the 8th :dunno:
After the fight "Khan Was Winning Before He Got..." we know how this will end
Timing (and speed) beats speed. Combinations and well timed and thought out shots defeat flurries of punches. Then you've got a perennial winner vs. whatever Khan is, not to mention the chins and difference in skills.
Khan is about the best opponent they could have secured for April and it will be a fun fight to watch because Khan comes to win but Crawford will be dishing out a beating.
If Khans chin holds up, he UD's Crawford.
Khan is going to get robbed if he stays up. Bob Arum is putting the pieces together right now to make sure everyone is in line with the game plan.
Calling it now.
i think it's a good fight.
terence had never fought someone as big and quicker than him with a punch.
just hope khan's chin would hold up to make a good exciting fight.
