Canelo KO'd a loudmouth who had been KO'd a million times already, was known for a glass chin, and didn't even deserve that or any payday prior. No one is impressed.
4. First off, it was a fight that never should have happened, the middleweight champion shouldn't be fighting an also-ran welterweight. It was a spectacular knockout but up until it happened he was losing the fight. The entire spectacle was a farce.
I enjoyed the fight. Canelo fought Khan with only the KO in mind, he knew he'd get him at some point. The judges had Canelo up, 2 of them anyway, I had Khan 4-1 up going into round 6, he did well, but I never for one second thought he was going to win and Canelo was just trying to time him for that one shot bomb, and when he did it was good night.
I gave him a 5 because the KO punches were very hard. It sure looked like Kovalev took a dive. I never saw him throw a single hard punch with bad intentions and this is a guy famous for his hard punching.
