Amir Khan praised Canelo Alvarez following his victory over Gennady Golovkin in Las Vegas
Khan was impressed by the quality of the fight and lauded Canelo for his gameplan.
Khan tweeted: 'What a fight. I gave the fight to Canelo. It was toe-to-toe action. Very exciting. Canelo surprised us all with the come forward pressure game plan. Well done to both Canelo and GGG. Boxing needed this.'
Northern Irish featherweight Michael Conlan also praised Canelo, who he felt was the deserved winner.
Conlan tweeted: 'I don't think it was robbery, had Canelo winning and I really wanted Triple-G to win.
'Some very close rounds that could have gone either way. Canelo's body work, sharp counters and punch output stole it for me. Great fight with two great champions!'
However, Mike Tyson's former trainer Teddy Atlas was less complimentary about Alvarez's performance, as he described the outcome as 'a robbery'.

As reported by ESPN, Atlas said: 'That's doing a robbery without leaving fingerprints. It was an effective robbery. I don't care if it's by two points, or a hundred points.'
Atlas added that he felt Golovkin was controlling the fight and deserved to win.
He said: 'I had Golovkin 117-112.
'There's two ways to fight to fight as the naturally bigger guy.
'You can either fight as going inside and imposing your body on the other guy, or you fight on the outside and use the jab, control the range and make the smaller guy take all the chances.

'That's what Golovkin made Canelo do tonight. He fought like the bigger guy. He was controlling the fight with that jab.
'He fought tall, long, using his jab… Hey, he won that fight. I don't give a damn what people say.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
