And frankly I don't see why Khan is getting so much credit. Yes he took early rounds. But he had done nothing to deter Canelo. He was winning on movement and speed but absorbing the greater punishment. It wasn't ever going to work for 12 full.
I had it 3-2 for canelo, although i think the thrid round could have gone either way. I thought a lot of khans punches were being blocked and canelo was doing some good body work and damaging khan.. The punch stats seem to reflect this too, lederman also had it 3-2 canelo but neither of those(lederman&compubox) are perferct :S .. Canelo started badly/slowly but was certainly taking control
