Comments Thread For: Virgil Hunter: Khan Was Beating Canelo Until He Got Caught

[Boxfan83]

1 thing about Khan is his hands are fast as f... Guys with his speed will always give bigger guys problems, its just a matter of time.

I had him up on the cards at the time, after he had took an early lead. But I think that's how most figured the fight the fight would go, Khan scoring early but Canelo taking over and getting the stoppage when he got his timing down.

SSDD.

Same ****, different day. If you are new to boxing, or are a less than average intelligence person, Khan getting KO'd while "ahead on the cards" is nothing new.

Khan was a great amateur boxer, but his lack of discipline and mind for the pro boxing game is poor. He always starts out fast and leads, then his lack of knowledge and discipline to keep to a game plan show. Lots of guys like him out there. Anyone can put up a good fight for a while if you are fast and have basic skills.

Results matter. Being ahead for a while doesn't.

It does really because he performed quite well in that fight at a big physical disadvantage. He did quite well despite having a chin that was glass even at lightweight. That takes abit of skill and balls even if he is a twat.

I can't see how he performed quite well? He was unconscious before the end of the 6th round. He didn't get half way through the fight.

If he took it to points or a late stoppage i could see a case for saying he did well but to get flattened before the end of the 6th? That's not performing quite well by any reasonable standard.

[lowblows420]

Hunter is so right Khan was lighting canelo up until he got caught

[Robyn Banz]

So he fought Canelo because he didn’t want people to think he was scared?!
But won’t fight Kell Brook when people think he is scared

LOL. We've been over this. Sure he won first 2, then he started getting timed badly. I believe most judges had it 2-3 at the time of the stoppage.
