Canelo is going to be rehydrated, strong and thick tomorrow.

 

[rshawneecarbon1]

Khan looks pretty big, but that's not going to fix his chin issues. Only way it goes past 3 is if khan prances in circles non stop.

 

[Tormund]

Canelo looked so dry at the weigh ins, he'll probably be around 170lbs by the time he makes his walk, Khan needs to have the performance of a lifetime.

Are you honestly suggesting Khan will win?

 

[UL]

I think this might be the longest time that Khan has been out of action.

Around 11 months since his last fight I think.

I hope Khan wins somehow but I doubt it, first 2-3 rounds will be interesting but Canelo hurts him around 5-7 and stops him

Who knows though, maybe Khan has been getting chin replacement therapy

 

[Cheese]

I hope Saul crushes him in the first rd and gets it over QUICK.

 

[Tormund]

Are you honestly suggesting Khan will win?

No, not at all.

 

[PUO3]

Lol @ $70 for this.

Even though Im going to buy it. Im a sucker.

 

[Seano]

Alright dorks, make your picks. I'm taking Canelo by decision. If you're picking Khan say so now. If Khan pulls off the upset, no one better be saying tomorrow how they knew Khan would win unless they commit to it now.

I am picking Khan by decision. I think he is faster than Lara and throws more punches, and that was a close fight. But his chin eneds to hold up!

Canelo by decision seems like the unlikeliest result imo .

I have money on Khan by decision ( good odds ) , but i'll probably be a brutal KO win for Canelo .

 

[Boxiana]

Khan by decision. Boxes clever and doesn't have his chin severely tested.

 

[Seano]

Nah. Khan will win a few rounds and then get tagged in the early mid part of the fight and then box to survive for the rest of the fight.

His main go-to survival tactic is usually tying up and holding his opponent , no way he'll get away with that against Canelo .

Huh? No its not. Khan is more of a runner when he gets tagged.

 

[Shael]

Canelo, 6th round.

 

[surgeyou1]

Prediction: Khan wins a few rounds and looks good early but Canelo's power and pressure eventually overwhelms him in the middle rounds. I don't see Khan getting starched from the get-go after watching the Lara fight.

 

[farfan]

Huh? No its not. Khan is more of a runner when he gets tagged.

Running AND holding when the action gets too close .
He did quite a bit of holding in the Maidana fight that i don't see working on someone like Canelo .

 

[The Big Bang]

Conorelo By KO. (he deserves that nickname until he commits to fight GGG)

Leading up to the stoppage in round 10, the fight will be pretty even on the cards in part due to A Mere Con (he has no business fighting Conorelo) being knocked down prior.

In summation, feather-fisted-shit-chin will survive an early knockdown whilst edging out most of the rounds until he get's stopped late.
