[Cool Hand Luka]

that shyt was perfection by canelo. looking back canelo set khan up beautifully. the whole fight throwing looping left hooks. pot shotting. throwing with little force to make khan believe he could take it. then BOOM. I need a @Yuzo breakdown on this



watching the slow mo replay. before it even landed khan knew 100% that he just fukked up badly. he didn't even bother finishing his jab, dude literally tried to run away as the punch was being thrown. it's like when you bout to be in a car accident. you see it coming, and all you can do is take that shyt and hope for the best.

I remember Swift taking him out with a counter hook .

Khan dropped his guard both times though .

For such a fundamentally sound fighter and Olympic pedigree boxer.

Amir makes some bonehead mistakes

I'm wrong most likely but some punch he shouldn't get knocked out by.

I think Canelo got work for 3G...honestly.

I don't see it. It'll be a good fight but Canelo has been dropped by Golovkin in sparring already. Look at the dudes he faced already tonight and the power they had...He said after each fight that he let them get off shots so he can extend those fights.

I just don't understand why Khan wanted this fight. The loss is not gonna hurt him cuz he fought a bigger guy but takin a punch like that could end his career

Teddy Atlas spitting raw unadulterated realness on ESPN




- now we go ringside with Atlas. What a finish! Did you see how Canelo called out GGG? So Teddy, surely you have to think that GGG is next after this?


-.... No..... Canelo has the juice... you know how much money they will make dragging that fight out for a few more years? We not seeing that shyt anytime soon..



- oh...... well um... alright then... back to you John.






EDIT: The original live take was so real, they made him shoot another take to replace it in the Sportcenter rotation... we may never hear it again

He got 13 mill I believe.

Canelo gets no props. Coward

 

[julesocean]

Proud of Khan. Expected him to lose, but he showed up to the fight to say the very least, considering he moved up. Canelo GGG gonna be a great fight, cannot wait.

Teddy didn't get the memo...

The fight is mandated next by the WBC...

Meaning if they don't fight the strap becomes vacated...

Canelo is not dropping the strap...

A judge really had it 4-1 Canelo. That was the insurance judge
