Khan needed to impose his will with speed and power.

    I just think his corner telling him to stick to what he doing for 12 rounds was wrong advise. He didn't adjust it was a cat and mouse game and in the end poor tactics for a 12 round fight.

    they used floyds tactics again Baldomire, wrong plan for canelo.

      FFS - some of the Khan fans are more deluded than Amir himself.

      Khan has no real power at 147 let alone 155.

      His hand speed is the ONLY advantage.

      His 'footwork' only helps him early rounds - 4 rounds in and...

      He start to make MISTAKES like standing in front of his opponent.

      All this bullcrap about Khan 'schooling' Canelo is ******ity, Canelo gave away the first 3 rounds.

      Khan was out of his depth - smart money move, that is all.

        He does not have those kinds of skills. This was the only possible outcome against this caliber opponent.

          I think you under estimate Khan's skill .
          He was able to make canelo struggle for the first 4 rounds with his speed am d boxing. He just needed to add his will and power to the equation. You don't need knock out power you need to control the tempo of the fight and let canelo know he can't bully you.
          His done it before he just needed the confidence to do it against canelo.

            Floyd fought a weight drained zombie Canelo who was still green. Khan fought a 155lb who was probably 175lbs on the night experienced Canelo. Big difference.

              Khan needed to keep slapping Canelo, and keep his distance. Once Canelo closed that distance, the fight was over!

                  If Khan was aggressive with Canelo he would have got knockout quicker.

                  The way he wins was do what Floyd did, constantly change directions, throwing a lot of single scoring precise shots, slowing Canelo down and than unleash combos later on. Khan doesn't have the patiences to stick to a precise game plan.

                  Having watched the knockout again, on Canelo's part, it is brilliant, the way he circles Khan in one direction to setup the right cross. On the other it is ******ly/sloppyniess, whatever you want to call it by Khan, in that he fell straight into the trap.

                    I appreciate that you're a fan, but that wasn't even a sparing session for Canelo.

                      Khans just not elite, end of. Zero defense & A non existent chin.I rooted for him to win, but it was pretty obv that he was going to get ktfo.

                      And If he came up against Brook, I imagine he will end up the same, on his back.
