Amir Khan v Saul Alvarez

[El Kabong]

Canelo should overpower him and really hand out a beating, but Khan needs a knockout to win anyway....just look at how Cotto-Canelo played out

Khan has speed and I could see him build a lead before getting stopped but if he kept it up for 36 minutes then I can see him getting a decision.

from what I saw on youtube, which of course could be "for the media", there is clear decline in speed of bulked up Khan when doing mitts ...

Alvarez was awarded the "diamond belt" which means even if he did lose he would somehow be world champion. Should he win which most suspect he will then vacate or drop the "regular" one that he coveted fraudulently and take this fraud no doubt to an all new level.

Damn! If they are being that corrupt about it then maybe Khan will not even get the decision.

See again why fights like Ortiz-Berto II are good for the sport when nothing of note is on the line.

Khan gets props from me win or lose. Canelo shouldn't be respected if he has to squeeze out a win.

Canelo should not be respected for this fight period. Anything other than a quick KO is an embarrassment for him.

Agreed. Even before this fight I wasn't the biggest fan of Canelo. When I read the announcement I was in disbelief. The fact that he's fighting a WW instead of a middleweight is just sad in my opinion. People give GGG shit because of his resume, but at least he's fighting people in his weight class. If Canelo doesn't knock out Khan in under 6 rounds (and if it takes that long that's bad news for when he fights GGG) then my respect for him will plummet.

I'm looking forward more to the post fight interview, when Max asks him about GGG and to see what he says.

What do you mean about Cotto-Canelo? You didn't have Cotto winning did you?

[Fenster]

Virgil Hunter advised Khan's dad to not take the fight. What? He sounds really confident about Khan's chances... blimey.

Khan cant lose this fight. Gonna be a onesided schooling. Canelos face be a bloody mess by the end of the fight. Khan at 4/1 with Marathonbet. Easy money!

Its my Ross moment I really just dont think Canelo is any good

Canelo fought 30-40 taxi bums, but the real fight is the real fight, nothing can replace it. His team did the right thing before throwing him in last 5 fights. Chavez Sr. aslo started like that and it gave him INSANE confidence later in this career. Khan has been in tougher fights , it wore him down, his confidence and chin are under question. Easy win for Canelo
