Who was winning the fight before the KO

[Furn]

Do we ever do this for any other fight that ends in a KO? Don't recall ever seeing any.

Viltali v Lewis

Ok so whats the point? To follow the tradition?

Who cares. It's 12 rounds. Canelo was being patient. He was being methodical.

Canelo knew he can handle Khan's power. He was composed the whole time. He knew if he times khan right. It's over.

# the great equalizer wins it all.

# canelo was a shark toying his prey

Bigger puncher beat smaller boxer. I love Canelo but I'm not impressed with this knockout. Bring on GGG and win or lose, give the people what they want. Don't be a mitch like Floyd and deny the v world a super fight in yOur prime.

3-2 Canelo

[Zaroku]

4 - 1 khan! But, I could see Canelo closing the distance, and khan getting too confident! Gasoline everywhere and Khan playing with matches! It was just a matter of time!

[Zaroku]

I think I had Khan up but it didn't really matter. Max was absolutely right in that the momentum and pace was changing rapidly. Canelo was able to get his punches off much more cleanly in the 5th and beyond while Khan was struggling to land. I knew it was coming as soon as Canelo started closing the distance. The initial left hooks he was throwing were missing BADLY but it kept getting closer and closer as the fight went on. I thought it was gonna be a left hook to send Khan down for sure.

Khan had dropped his guard to protect his body from Canelo's attack, but Canelo flipped the script and khan got KTFO!

I don't know. You made the thread. I asked you what difference it makes, remember?

Khan was winning and the first 2 rounds were comfortably his, arguments could be made for the 4th and 5th but Canelo was starting to grow into the bout. Having said that, KIhan showed he could hold his own, his real problem is, he switches off way too often.

If you look at his arm position, the moment Canelo feinted...what was that? They were in no mans land. Even Virgil hasn't been able to rectify this issue and I'm not sure anyone can.

[Weebler I]

I had it roughly even. I think the commentators had Khan up by a few.

Canelo's movement has improved significantly since he fought Mayweather in 2013. Not killing himself to make 152 probably had an influence on his power too.

Still, this result was what should happen to a welter moving to middleweight, but at least he had the balls to do it at Canelo's preferred weight.
