The simplest path most of the time is the best path.
There is nothing complicated about Canelo-Khan fight. It is either going to be a short night or we will have some drama.
Everyone has talked to death about Khan moving up in weight and his suspect chin. It is totally possible that Canelo catches him flush early and in turn we all have an early night.
But, it is also possible that Khan’s boxing skills are on full display early in the fight and he turns the fight into a game of cat and mouse.
That is where the drama comes into play, if Khan is winning rounds and keeping the fight competitive, people will start to see he has a chance to win and then it could get real interesting.
Will Canelo panic? Can Khan keep it up for a full 12 rounds?
If you are Canelo you want to get Khan out of there as quickly as possible, don’t give him any hope or confidence. If you are Khan you just want to make sure you don’t get caught early to put some doubt into Canelo’s mind.
In the end Canelo is just too big and too strong. Khan hasn’t shown the ability to stay disciplined for 12 rounds, so eventually he will get caught.
Look for Khan to hang around early, but get caught around the middle rounds.
Canelo KO 6th round.
