I hate to say I told you so. Respect to Khan for taken the fight. I actually like Khan so I thought it was crazy fight to make. We have weight classes for a reason and we were reminded of that once again today. In a way it was the best possible outcome for Khan. He got taken out quick and suffered minimal damage.

I don't go in for the "Khan was boxing his ears off till he got caught" line either. I had it level at the time. Where is Khan going to go now ? Is going to go cap in hand to brook ? His market value is lower than a snakes belly now but I still think Khan will slit his throat b4 letting Brook beat him. Irony is the welterweight division is much hotter than the middleweights

I think Canelo broke Khan's rib or ribs ... there was blood on the side when he fell

Cracking shot at the end. Canelo got a read on Khan much quicker than I thought he would. Khan needed to feint more and became pedestrian fairly suddenly.

The first two rounds were easy to score Khan rounds. The next couple of rounds were closer, but Khan was still outlanding Canelo. In saying that though Canelo was starting to get through with body shots. The 5th was a Canelo round with more body work and a big shot up top and then the next round it was all over. Khan was easily up at the end of the 5th IMO, but he was slowing probably due to the body work and all the movement he was making at an unnatural weight. The KO was an expected outcome.

I feel really sorry for Amir this time out as he was always too small for this and everybody knew as much. The only people thinking Khan could win were those who probably wanted him to win based on hope rather than reason. That was a brutal KO and the way Khan crumpled felt all too familiar. It was foolish to jump in weight like he did and it is a shame nobody advised him against it. That was a Hatton/Pac style stoppage and I am not sure where he can go from there. It looked really serious at first.
