HBO Preview: Canelo vs Khan

HBO promos are always good. Thought I'd post it so you can all get hype for when Khan gets KO'd.

Khan's more bulkier and as you'd expect going up two weight classes but I think he'll lose his speed and my prediction which was for a Khan win is leaning towards a points loss. Would love it if he did it though - hope it'll be worth staying up till 5am for it!

I got up in time to see the KO. Khan seems to have started well but one error (his hands being a bit too low) cost him big time. Think Canelo would have won later on had the fight continued and with the scorecards which shows how dodgy they are, giving Khan only a round. In a way, Khan took the fight and credit to him for doing so but slightly pissed that De La Hoya offered a guy at welterweight a fight with a middleweight when it wasn't really the right step for Khan no matter how big the pay cheque. He'll be back at welterweight, probably against Garcia as he's mandatory for his WBC belt or Brook.

I had Khan comfortably ahead on the scorecards until he got KO'd. People will talk about his questionable chin, but not many guys could've taken that punch to be fair.

Canelo vs GGG better happen soon.
