Comments Thread For: Hunter: I Was Totally Against Khan Taking 'Crazy' Canelo Fight

[WesternChamp]

But still happily took his cut of the money and talked about how Khan can beat Canelo leading up to the fight.

exactly! if you were so against it you should have told khan that you wont be training him if he goes thru with the canelo fight.

Great that Khan's chin is actually a plus factor for longevity and long lasting health. Seems that his weak chin actually saves him from more concussive blows.

How did 2 judges have Canelo up? Khan won the first 3 rounds and lost the fourth. Maybe 2 rounds even. But Canelo up? That just shows how difficult it will be for Canelo to be out pointed - another obstacle for Chavez.

Canelo was in total charge after round 2.

Even round 1 was tight, Khan landed one flashy shot, but Canelo landed the two best punches of that round. Canelo was rightfully ahead and it was getting easier with every passing round.

I think we saw different fights. You can land 2 good (non knockdown ) punches in a round but if you are getting massively out pointed you will, or should lose the round. I agree that it did get easier for Canelo with every passing round but I don't think he decisively won a round until the 4th was done.
Look at the Wilder/Washington fight - I had him up 4 rounds, as did boxing scene and the unofficial broadcast scorecard. For some reason judges had it all messed up ( some reason being good 'ole Atlanta home cooking). Washington was ineffective but Wilder hardly threw and didn't control the ring. Canelo threw more than Wilder but not THAT much more.

I don't know what Khan was thinking when he took the fight...

Moving up to MW to face Canelo? That was a big move and risky.

Either Khan was delusional thinking he could win or was in it for a big pay cheque from Golden Boy.

Hunter can say that "he" was forced into it, but he can't say "Amir" was forced into it. Amir was the main one who wanted the fight! He didn't get concessions from Canelo, but he wouldn't give any concessions to Brook either, so what's fair is fair!

those judges cards holy **** .... Khan swept the first 3 rounds clearly which means he only lost the 4th and 5th :P this is why I don't get excited for boxing contests anymore, cause always one guy just has to see out the distance and he gets the decision whether he won any rounds or not. horribly corrupt.

Khan isn't even a top 5 welter, he had no business being in the ring with a guy who was the lineal mw champion of the world at that point.

I gave Khan the first 2, but the 1st was close.

From then on though, Khan didn't hit anything but air. His jab started falling short, he missed the handful of power punches he tried. Canelo closed the space and was outboxing him from the 3rd round, then he began clocking him him with power shots to body and head. Canelo had started schooling him before putting his lights out.

You don't know shyt about boxing then. Khan did not OUT LAND Canelo in a single round in that fight.

Canelo landed 42 power shots...only 1 will be remembered #CaneloKhan pic.twitter.com/Fwidpiv5HX

Khan won the first 2 rounds while Canelo was feeling him out. After that he had his timing down and totally broke him in half to the body. Khan was ALMOST knocked out in the 5th by a hook to the head that made him do the stanky leg and almost broke his kneecaps. Was losing the 6th totally outboxed before the death shot. Canelo was in total control from the 3rd round on and dictating everything. Khan had no adjustments or answers to what Canelo was doing to him and looked worse every round before he was put to sleep. I laugh at fools that try and give Khan credit for wining a handful of rounds early and not even making it to the second half of the fight. And stop lying about unofficial score, judges had Canelo winning and so did HBO's broadcast scorer Harold Lederman. Only idiots and bias haters of Canelo thought Khan was winning this fight.
