Amazed if Khan goes beyond 6 tonight, Canelo will come in big tonight, and imo sooner or later will catch up with Khan and it'll be over.

He looked awful yesterday, if Khan can avoid him and hit him then get out of there he's got a chance.

I've been trying to talk myself into backing Khan for days now and I still can't do it, same with Crolla.
 
Just about to get in the Bath and watch the next fight, me birds taken over the telly with friggin Eastenders for an hour.

I'm honestly thinking of moving her out.

He's never really looked good at weigh ins, wouldn't read anything into that tbh, always looks a different animal on fight night.

I reckon you've saved yourself a few Bob anyway, in and out is going to be his plan but he'll struggle to keep that pace going with the extra weight, after watching his last fight with Algieri I'm convinced he'll get an awful shock when Canelo lands.

Honestly give Khan no chance in this one.

I don't disagree, and I know he's a massive bell but there's a small part of me that respects Khan, as an amateur he was the best young fighter in the country year after year. He's got fantastic timing and speed, but he constantly refers to himself in the third person which makes me want to volley him in the gob.

He's got blinding speed but his shots become repetitive, you have to imagine his speed will suffer, if only a bit, with the weight jump, also don't see him having the power to discourage Canelo.

He's admitted himself he can't stop him or hurt him, I wonder if hunter has set him up to just outbox Canelo? Not saying it will work because Khan simply cannot resist a brawl, and with a chin like his it's suicide.

Hunter has struck me as not being too optimistic ahead of it, similar attitude that he had with Berto going in against Floyd. He's already said he thought it was a joke when the fight was mentioned to him, reckons he changed his mind when he met up with Khan.

I'd wager his mind changed when he got told how much it was worth.
 
At least 45 mins behind on the schedule here, killing my plans for a kip before the Khan card, going to have to miss the first few on that now.
