      You guys are funny. By the end of the 2nd round Canelo was already getting adjusted to Khan's speed. Starting in the 3rd round he was already positioning Khan in the ring and his jab started to land. Khan did well in spots but he was not running away with the fight.

        Khan is a 4 round fighter.


        Caneloroid timed him and sent his ass to Mars

          saunders is just a good a slick boxer as Khan is and is heavier and can take a punch.

          Canelo lost every round to Amir khan before he knocked him out. If khan can box circles around him then so can Saunders, and billy joe doesn’t have a glass chin and isn’t reckless like khan is.
          If you knew anything about boxing...its not uncommon or unheard of for a good smaller, quicker, fast handed fighter to do good against a bigger fighter, UNTIL he gets tired, then gets stopped.

          BJS doesn't have Khan's hand or foot speed.

            You are correct.

            But I don't quite think Saunders has the hand speed of Amir Khan.

            Alvarez probably has comparable or faster hand speed than Saunders 'Saunders only has better movement, I am not sure who has the fastest processing speed'.

            Note: Processing speed is the ability to decode the action, anticipate, initiate, adapt or react etc

              Alvarez had already taken momentum from Khan well before the KO.

                I don't understand why people are so confident in Canelo winning. Over the last few years Canelo has been in some tough competitive fights GGG x2, Jacobs, Kovalev (before KO). I would argue that prime BJS is a trickier fight for Canelo than all those opponents.

                How much better is Canelo since the Jabobs fight? I don't think Yildrim and 5 week trained Callum Smith is necessarily a good indication.

                    A lot of fans in here appear to have extensive judging experience... Canelo was out landing Khan in punches. Its different watching it ringside compared to your couch at home. Dont quit you day job fellas.

                      Khan was just Amir fly buzzing around before Nelo swatted him.
