Yes? But then again, the card starts at like 9 for me here.

I think Canelo will win and hopefully we can get a Canelo/GGG match next

He's a heavy favourite. I won't stay up but I think it could be a good fight. Enjoy.

I expected Chisora to get outclassed by Pulev and he didn't have anything in him to upset the form book

What next for him?

The only possible way I can see for him to stay relevant is to fight Dylian Whtye on an AJ undercard and ride some of the AJ momentum on the back of Whyte doing well against Joshua

Other than that his career is in a worse state than when he lost to Fury for a second time and it's very hard to see a path back to any significant level in the division

Canelo sparks Khan out. Seriously heavy knockout.

GGG gonna make him regret those words. Big time. Oh Canelo. Good luck.
Also, love Virgil and Khan calling out Canelo on the GGG fight. They're right. No more hiding behind false words. Man up and fight him. Canelo called out GGG right after the win, but i would not be surprised to hear that he's bitched out in a few weeks.

Went as expected then. Interesting to see where Khan goes from here, surely cant keep avoiding Brook forever. A fight or two to get himself back on some sort of track and then get it on.

I could see him just fighting Brook next and retiring if he loses

I suppose he'd want a filler fight first to rebuild his confidence but the Brook fight is the only big fight out there for him at this stage I think and it's an easy way to a title shot due to the domestic rivalry

Losing to Cannelo doesn't really affect his reputation that much as it was always going to be a major long shot for him to win but it does represent another brutal KO (probably the worst of his career) and I can't see what other title shot he could walk into now except for against Brook

If I was him and take the Brook fight asap instead of risking Brook moving on to bigger/better things or the belt changing hands before he gets a shot

Khans mandatory challenger to Garcia.
Yea I saw an interview he gave vowing to fight on where he stated that he wants Garcia later this year and that he is the mandatory challenge

Interestingly he also mentioned potential fights against Cotto and Pacquiao but not a word about a potential fight with Brook

I guess he simply isn't interested in fighting Brook

Amir Khan said:
“I want to be the best, I want to fight the best and that’s why I took this fight.

“I’m one of those fighters that will step in the ring with whoever.

“I showed my bravery by getting in the ring with Canelo, but this is boxing.

Word has it that talks have began for a fight between GGG and Canelo

That'd be interesting. Think GGG would take that one, though. I feel like Ward is the only one out there that'd have a chance atm.

Fury's been shooting his mouth off again - women, gays, Jews are apparently to blame for the world's problems - and not ignorant and incoherent fucks like him...

Huey Fury and Whyte were offered a fight for the British title AJ will vacate

Fury turned it down and apparently Chisora or Price will battle Whyte for the strap

I look forward to seeing either match up
