Got big feet. That's probably good for boxer, long forearms
Charles Lopez
Hooker is moving up to 147. Who does DAZN/Matchroom have at 147 for him? Ortiz? I think 140 was draining him, he has potential to upset any of the big guys at 147 if they have an off night and Hooker learns to be more authoritative establishing his reach advantage. I could totally see him winning an ugly points win over Porter or DSG.
which so so brave British lion will earn the bigger moral victory, Campbell or Yarde?
Ian Sullivan
Campbell well get schooled, but he won't gas like the idiot Yarde did
Adrian Phillips
loma broke his hand in his last fight on a brave lions skull. whos to say it doesnt happen in the early rounds and Campbell gets to see the final bell.
If Canelo forces Kovalev to fight at a catch weight don't even bother watching the fight. However, if the fight is at light heavy how well do you think Canelo's power and stamina will translate into the weight? Hopefully his team under estimate Kovalev and Canelo ends up getting battered like Spence did to the BUM.
Samuel Cruz
>Jose Ramirez is reportedly likely to defend his unified super-lightweight titles against WBC mandatory Viktor Postol next, rather than WBO mandatory Jack Catterall. It’s claimed the bout is being planned for Nov 30th at the Banc of California Stadium, LA good fight, Postol is difficult for anybody at 140
Luis Young
if anything his stamina improve because he has to cut less weight, he won't become much bulkier at lhw
Dominic Jones
Caneloa actual weight will hardly change. He will just cut less and impose a rehydration clause on whoever he fights so they will not weigh more than he does. If anything his stamina might even be better
Jeremiah Young
so did Catterall duck this shot? can’t imagine Ramirez would choose Postol instead
Levi Wood
Why did it take Marquez 4 fights to finally knock out Pacquiao?
You would think given Manny's reckless style, Marquez technical counterpunchers would easily find their way to him.
Noah Wood
EMPTY THE TANK
Christian Phillips
The first Golovkin fight he was way too heavy and gassed like 4 rounds in. He was noticeably smaller in the second.
Jason Jones
because he had to cut down to middleweight
Landon Foster
he also took clenbuterol for the second
Cameron Hall
He still gassed in the mid rounds of the second fight
Aaron "Tiger" Wade Charley Burley Eddie Booker Jimmi Bivins Jack Chase Bert Lytell Elmer Ray Ezzard Charles Holman Williams Archie Moore Cocoa Kid
Also someone post the Eubank warrior code please
Chase Myers
cause Marquez footwork was the first thing he lost with age, he lost his footwork very young idk why, look his earlier fights as a featherweight he moves very different.
Jonathan Lee
>If Canelo forces Kovalev to fight at a catch weight don't even bother watching the fight. Look at this fucking COPE, because you faggots know Canelo is going to destroy Kovalev. None of you faggots said this when Floyd fought Canelo at a catchweight, nor when Pac fought ODLH and Cotto at a catchweight.
You're only saying this because you HATE Canelo and hate to see him shine. Too bad for you, Canelo is going to beat Kovalev and be Light Heavyweight champion by the end of the year and there's nothing you can do to change how great of a legacy that will set for him.
its because Canelo hasnt been proven with a real elgit challenge besides Golovkin, Floyd had already a great super featherweight and light welterweight run, Pacquiao lighterweights run was great. So for Canelo it looks like he is just cherry pickig his conditions for fighting top opposition.
Joseph Williams
cherry picking 35 year olds all over the board my my nigga, just pick em regardless of the weight division. he knonw he gon win if he dont get KTFO
Michael Gonzalez
>its because Canelo hasnt been proven with a real elgit challenge besides Golovkin He beat Golovkin and Golovkin's best opponent, with Triple L's second best opponent being so bad (Lememe) that people were up in arms about the idea of Canelo even THINKING about fighting him. He already had a P4P worthy record before he even made the move to Middleweight, beating Lara, Kirkland, Trout, Mosley.
So where are these "legit challenges"? Is he supposed to fight Charlo even though people rank him lower than Jacobs and Triple L? Is he supposed to fight Andrade even though some don't even consider him better than Charlo? In reality haters gonna hate, and cazzies like you know not what you speak.
He's doing a shit job at cherry picking then, all the guys he's fighting are actually ranked top 5 unlike a certain other Middleweight.
>Pac made him drain to 147. Oscar was the ppv star, he's the one who asked for the fight. Manny had to go up two divisions you dumb nigga
Michael Hall
>31 is old at Super Welterweight >Guys who didn't have much mileage on them in the first place Casual
>Manny had to go up two divisions you dumb nigga So is Canelo you dumb fucking porch monkey, only Canelo isn't making Kovalev drop down a weight class to fight him.
Carter Cruz
>>its because Canelo hasnt been proven with a real elgit challenge besides Golovkin >He beat Golovkin and Golovkin's best opponent, with Triple L's second best opponent being so bad (Lememe) that people were up in arms about the idea of Canelo even THINKING about fighting him. >He already had a P4P worthy record before he even made the move to Middleweight, beating Lara, Kirkland, Trout, Mosley.
I will give you Lara even if some people think it was a bad decision, he was a legit opponent.
Kirkland was shot to hell and he was overtrained by Wolff, good victory but nothing to write home about.
Trout good victory at the time but he turned to be nothing special.
Mosley was old and he has always been a shitty jr middleweight.
Isnt that Canelo is a bad boxer but he is overhyped and has a built career to appela the mexicans and mexican american fans.
Ironically i think if he changed trainers and worked on fighting more often so he can adjust his weakness he can be a great fighter.
The Reynoso style of fighter is often seen on mexican amatuers a lot of them turn to be plodding punchers later cause they become lazy on the footwork, they got lucky to train a great athlete for mexican standars and a faithful to them.
Idk how good Daniel Zaragoza is as a trainer but hopefuly he can carrry the same school as Beristain.
Easton Gray
>Kirkland had no mileage >Lara (realistically 35 years old at the time) go back to r*ddit CHIcasual
Joshua Gutierrez
>Lara (realistically 35 years old at the time) Absolute cope.
Julian Ross
You can keep shouting cope as much as you want but the fact of the matter is that Canelo is great fighter who is protected by slimy tactics, with a history of cherry picking aging champions. I don’t think anyone here believes Canelo is a bad fighter, at least not seriously.
Liam Torres
Your Great White Hope is trash. I look forward to seeing how his nut huggers cope with seeing Kovalev, send him astral traveling.
Adrian Green
>with a history of cherry picking aging champions. Mhmm, cope. Lara isn't aging just because you headcanon is that he's older than his stated age. 27 isn't aging either. Most of Floyd and Pacquiao's best wins were guys in their early 30s, saying that fighters in their early 30s -- at 154 no less -- are aging or over the hill is just blatant cope.
Adam Hughes
Man I can't wait till heavyweights or welterweights or literally any other hot division starts getting some action again. This canelo talk has been the most boring boxing discussion the entire year and I hated the constant fury wilder posting.
Canelo just fucking bores me now. He could go after a legit younger champ in 168 but wants to fight an old man who almost got stopped by anthony yarde?
Juan Gomez
Lots of good fights in Q4 at least are
Dylan Ward
>Canelo isn't making Kovalev drop down a weight class to fight him. Watch it be a 170 catchweight
He's right. Wilder P4P is the biggest hitter possibly of all-time considering he's practically a Cruiserweight that can just touch Heavyweights who regularly outweigh him by 30-40lbs and completely sever their consciousness.
I think Wilder might be the hardest puncher in absolute sense but in no way he hits harder p4p than guys like Julian Jackson, McLellan, Inoue or even Tyson (who weighed like Wilder but was considering he was smaller it is astonishing how much power he was able to generate, also was fighting less big stiff idiots)
>fighting less big stiff idiots this is the more important factor that burgerslurpers won't admit, literally none of wilder's opponents know how to move their head
David Reyes
he knocked down fury twice
William Campbell
>going life and death and getting a split decision against a midget with two losses
yeah Holyfraud isn't going anywhere
Nolan Rivera
and?
Landon Ramirez
>flag And let's not act as if Tyson wasn't can crushing his way to the top either.
Wilder is also fighting bigger men on average who outweigh him. Mike Tyson weighed at 222 lbs against Holyfield who weighed less. That's more that wilder weighed against fury who weighed 30 lbs more than wilder
Jace Walker
>you have to vote for the black guy, he's your countryman!
>And let's not act as if Tyson wasn't can crushing his way to the top either. Tyson was overrated but let's not pretend that his opponents were as bad as Wilder's. >That's more that wilder weighed against fury who weighed 30 lbs more than wilder True but you have to consider that weight disadvantage is a bit of a meme at heavyweight since being a fat ass (like most hw nowadays) does not give you a better chin and better punch resistance. Besides, 30lbs at hw is more or less 15% of your bodyweight, there are bigger size disadvantages at lower weight classes (where it actually matters). And I dont mean it to disregard Wilder's power
Thomas Hill
Discussion about Mike Tyson is practically impossible because of the retarded fans that he has who ironically know very little about his actual career.
Isaiah Davis
is it safe to say wilder is like ngannou? clearly has merely adequate technical skill but the great equalizer makes them part of the best. but everyone who is a fan of the sport should be against them because they singlehandedly make a mockery of it every time they win
Caleb Morris
Not really. Wilder has a great gas tank, great chin, solid jab, and a good workrate. Even if he just had good hw power he'd be a top 10 guy
Ayden Russell
No he actually is skilled. To be able to land his right hand killer without fail in every fight requires skill. He even broke his right hand and out boxed stivern 12 rounds. There are plenty of guys who can hit hard but to even get to the world level, you have to be skilled.
Brandon Diaz
Miller is the one who began Joshua's downward spiral. First, he bullied him in that first DAZN announcement press conference, then The Push™, then the nightmares began
If he had regular hw power like say Parker or pulev he would probably be a better technical fighter but I don't know if he would be a better fighter.
Jordan Foster
Wilder is vastly better at boxing than Ngannou is at MMA. Both have insane touch-of-death power. But Wilder is better, and a lot more successful at his sport.
Maybe one day Ngannou will be at that level, but he hasn't proven it yet.
I feel bad because everyone's making fun of an old man but then I remember he's a socialist and deserves worse

Oliver Bennett
How tall is Lomachenko supposed to be? Isn't Campbell only 5'9"?
Wyatt Watson
Think his boxrec says 5'7"
Gabriel Johnson
That is way more than 2 inches of height. Loma's height is either taller than he actually is, or Campbells is shorther than he actually is. Or Campbell is wearing high heels to intimidate Loma.
Mason Walker
Yeah Campbell is only supposed to be half an inch taller than crolla
>Commey: Canelo, Crawford, Spence, Wilder Are Above Loma >"I don't believe he's the best fighter in boxing by a long way. He has a tremendous amateur background, but this is professional boxing, they are two different sports.

Loma's like 5'5 unironically. Luke is a legit 5'8 or 5'9 maybe for a man. but for an aging whore, its brutal
Luis Taylor
its literally the only shit women are good for
Christian Nelson
I'm not sure if some of these are samefagging but how embarrassing. Wilders a good puncher but he's mostly unproven. If he was such a great puncher he would've stopped fury. Even the Ortiz stoppage was an accumulation stoppage. Sparking a bum like Brazeale doesn't get you to leapfrog ATG's.
Benjamin Edwards
>If he was such a great puncher he would've stopped fury Deontay Wilder knocked out Tyson Fury.
>ortiz is old af lmao >it doesnt count because I SAY SO
Hudson Foster
Women that are childless and unmarried at the age are often depressed and abuse alcohol. In the developed world, the economic elite have made it difficult financially for younger generations to have children so now we have this post facto you go girl ideology that justifies choosing to make powerpoints as a ‘career’ instead of fulfilling one of the most basic biological functions of our species.
Camden Roberts
Fury got up, deal with it tard. Considering Fury's a chinlet, this means Wilder's power is even more suspect
Evan Perez
Whoa there sexpat ease up
Matthew Moore
there are some guys that get dropped by big shots but have very good recuperative powers,Larry Holmes was the same,so Fury definetly doesn't have a bad chin
marquez is pretty bummy besides his performances against pacquiao,he definetly isn't a superior fighter to pacquiao,he just had pacquiao's number
Dominic Roberts
he literally only got hit because he was distracted by his nose
Samuel Butler
>definetly isn't a superior fighter to pacquiao Outside of the fact that he knocked Pacquiao out cold, right?
Brody Gutierrez
did you forget the part where pac knocks him down 5 times,even in the 4th pac was whooping his ass until the knockout
Justin Diaz
>Eleider Alvarez and Zurdo Ramirez were in discussions to fight on the Fury-Wallin card on Sept. 14.
>However, negotiations fell through because Alvarez wasn't in shape and wouldn't have been ready in time.
Why does Top Rank keep trying to make Zurdo happen?
Jayden Rodriguez
Did you forget the part where Pacquiao got 3 knockdowns in one fight and yet still got outworked so badly that most of the Boxing community still considers that a fight highway robbery? Not to mention the knockdown Pac scored on Marquez in the fourth fight was more of a flash knockdown, whereas Marquez actually had Pacquiao hurt with the first knockdown, and then had him out cold so badly that everyone watching it live thought Pac had died with the second knockdown.
Zurdo looked like shit at 168, and I was one of his active detractors, but he looks much better at 175 and I think that he'd beat an in shape Alvarez about as easily as Kovalev did in the rematch.
Jose Gray
only a grease rat chicano like you would think that Marquez got robbed in the first fight,one of the judges scored the first round a 10-7 instead of a 10-6 and that's what got Marquez the draw
Daniel Scott
>that's what got Marquez the draw A draw was the incorrect decision, Marquez should have won and that judge was wrong.
Gabriel Fisher
You could split hairs all day but this seems pretty fair. Pac did more because he could even though Marquez was the better fighter.
But for me it's still Barrera
Adam Rodriguez
marquez won more rounds but pacquiao got the 3 point advantage and he came back strong in the later rounds landing a lot of straight lefts,he won the fight
James Wilson
>marquez is the better fighter marquez went to war with fucking juan diaz you fucking imbecile
Ethan Watson
He’s handsome and in a heavier weight class for a Mexican. Alvarez vs Zurdo is a good matchup. TR has 175 on lockdown. Alvarez vs Hart would be great too. Light heavyweight is a great division, sucks that Bivol might not get to fight the other champs from TR. I think Callum Smith gets brutalized if he moves up to face Gvozdyk or Beterbiev. I’d even give Kovalev a decent shot of beating him.
Zachary Morales
Why so angry
Gavin Jackson
kovalev outboxes smith,but smith is a great finisher and if he hurts kovalev he doesn't make it out of the round like he did in the 8th against yarde
Chase Perez
Smith is hittable and I think McGirt has done wonders with Kovalev. I really don’t like the idea of a super middleweight division honestly. It’s filled with Euro trash. It’s a matter of time before Smith can’t make the limit and I’d love to see another Anglo plodder get picked apart.
Ethan Butler
>I really don’t like the idea of a super middleweight division honestly. It’s filled with Euro trash. *blocks your path*
His win over Uzcat was impressive, but besides that, his resume is thin. Super middleweight has always been a place of refuge for guys that can’t compete with serious talent at middleweight or light heavy.
Hasn't your nose ever itched really bad user? Super annoying.
Isaiah Moore
>resume is thin He has 19 fights to his name sexpatbodian.
Michael Bailey
I dont get why these ignorant motherfuckers collectively lie to themselves and eachother
Elijah Hall
Fair enough, but he’s a world champion that just fought a club level guy. I hope fights higher opposition next time. If you’re a belt holder, not every fight can be against elite opposition but surely there are better choices than Lee. I’m just saying I hope he fights someone decent next time. Still doesn’t detract from my overall stance that 168 is a meme division.
Ethan Ortiz
plant is good but he doesn't beat any of the champs at 160 or 175
>His win over Uzcat was impressive, but besides that, his resume is thin To his defense, he just won the title like 6 months ago. Tbh I'm surprised Haymon gave him another fight this year. My guess is that hell make another defense December/January.
Hopefully they do what I think they're doing and do Benavidez vs Plant next year
Xavier Myers
>Punches thrown Learn to read
Cameron Anderson
Absolutely right. That’d be a great fight. Benavidez got in more trouble for using a recreational drug than Whyte did for using PEDs ffs
Really think Hughie’s going to get knocked out savagely by Povetkin, possibly in a few rounds. He’s got absolutely nothing to fend him off with. Pov is going to close the distance and detonate on that chin.
Carter Martinez
Shall be going to a potential Prograis vs Taylor/Chisora vs Parker/PBK vs Robinson II card. First decent card Hearn has put on since Brook Spence.
Ian Young
I hope you're right even though Povetkin is old and washed
Usyk saying he wants winner of Ruiz v Joshua. Not sure Usyk is ready for it.
James Nguyen
If it goes past six, Hughie wins an ugly points victory. Povetkin has no stamina and is washed up. I’d be really disappointed if that happened. The issue with some of these Eastern Euro guys is that they spend so long in the amateurs that they have to take bigger fights faster. Usyk’s style isn’t one that’s gonna work for an older guy either. I’d like to see him against a Chisora, Takam tier guy first, then a Parker tier guy before going for the big four. Ruiz would be the easiest to beat for Usyk.
Asher Rivera
Chin = not getting downed Heart = not staying down
Seeing a lightweight boxer near a average sized man really breaks the immersion
Elijah Myers
Hughie is a fucking bum and was bothered by the pressure of fucking fat man old man Samuel Peter Povetkin did good against Femi till he got knocked out,he knocks Hughie out
Austin Gray
>Luke Campbell is older than his best friend from their amateur days, George Groves
You think he's a chinlet and heartlet like Joshua as well?
Aaron Mitchell
pretty big for a lightweight
Henry Turner
Povetkin did good until he gassed out and Joshua utilized his jab, especially to the body, properly. Hughie’s legs are good enough to keep him alive. Povetkin can win if he catches him early but I doubt it.
James Cox

Why is super middleweight the delegitimized weight? Everybody gets to fight at their natural weight but the burden is on 168 pounders to fight bigger guys? Toney, Jones Jr, Eubank, Benn, Calzaghe, then Ward, Froch. And now with Benavidez, Plant and Smith, it's one of the more interesting weight classes.
Chase Scott
Yeah headgear sucks. I don't believe in routine sparring, I think it should be treated like a real fight in the gym. Especially if you're getting headaches, we aren't meant to be suffering blows routinely.
Noah Wilson
you need routine sparring if you're still in the learning phase, it takes a lot of time to get really comfortable in the ring
Anthony Morales
Yeah but you want to be practicing your moves at full speed. And full speed sparring takes a toll. I think beginners who get used to the sparring pace never really learn their dire instincts, it's safe and they get complacent.
Jeremiah Cooper
I think it would be better to have a hard 3 round spar every few weeks and then spend the time in between refining your mistakes. I think sparring really reveals the mistakes better than anything, the ring is the crucible. But if you're sparring too frequently then it becomes too routine when it should be more reflected upon. And the mistakes might go unpunished at the slower pace.
Wyatt Moore
If you get headaches after every spar session then it's better if you quit boxing or at least stopped sparring and just did it as a workout. Brain damage is no joke and every hit you take can accelerate CTE.

Who’s Andrade fighting next? Golovkin’s booked and wants Murata in Japan after. Canelo has Kov. Charlo is with PBC. Jacobs would be a good fight, but I think it’s unfair when guys lose a fight to a champion and then get to challenge a different champion after. Not that fairness matters here.

Its like I always say. UFC is for toughguy bums who can't really play any sport, but don't mind getting punched in the head. That's why the fights look the way they do, that's why they get paid a mere fraction of what professional skilled boxers get paid. In short, if you watch UFC you're either white trash, or extremely stupid. There's often overlap between these two characteristics so you might be both.

Brandon Evans
Murata isn’t a meme. He’s just popular because he’s in a heavier weight class than a typical Japanese fighter. It was pretty apparent in the first fight with Brant that he has work to do.
David Hughes
I think Rodriguez was supposed to be that before he got flatlined. Did anyone even expect Donaire to make it this far? Also I can't be the only one who's kinda worried that Takuma getting beat by Oubaali would be a distraction for Naoya since they're fighting on the same card? Idk then again that could just motivate Naoya to just pummel Donaire and take his anger on Oubaali out on him.
After taking some time off, I wanted to finally finish my round by round scoring of Canelo-GGG II. When I was first going over the fight I had Golovkin up by 3 rounds after 9. However I wanted to start fresh today and see if my opinion had changed. Now I have scored 2 of Canelo's fights and thought he lost close decisions in fights the ringside judges thought he won. There was some uproar over the scores for this fight, but nothing compared to the first fight, and it seemed to be a mostly accepted result now. One star fades and another younger star takes its place Anyway the fight in question The first round was even more cagey than I remembered. I'm going to just shade it to Golovkin because he was the busier fighter, but if you were to score it for Canelo I wouldn't argue Golovkin 10-9 Canelo 1 swing round
They’re unknown to casual fans because they’re from lower weight classes that have a lot of non English speaking Asian and Latinx fighters ya dingis. If Inoue was at a higher weight class or was American, Anglo or Mexican, he’d be a huge star.

>if Inoue is legit he has to move up two more weight classes to fight a Lightweight when he's already on his third weight class That's like Lomachenko moving up to Welterweight to fight Canelo.
Really impressed with Canelo in round 2. Golovkin isn't only a difficult guy to counter, but also a dangerous one, and the mexican did it several times. Golovkin was no slouch in round 2 either, and we finally have a fight Golovkin 19-19 Canelo
ayo bruh didn't that african nigga get his career ended by Lomachenko?

LMAO
Angel Campbell
He cashed out. Thought he could catch Lomachenko with that crazy long reach but failed, so he took his 500k and retired to Panama

Inoue is going to get slaughtered. I don't know how much Inoue rehydrates up to, but he doesn't seem that big. Didn't his father say he could see Inoue going up just 1 more division to 122? I can't see him moving up until he collects all the belts. Then he needs a year to adjust to the weight.
Isaac Young
This fight seems like massive casual bait desu. The type you'd see people who don't know much about boxing yet know who the names are would clamor for. They see two relatively small guys and are at the top of the p4p lists and are like shit why don't they fight?
Oliver Thomas
Yeah, most casuals would probably just recognize the names (WBSS champ, "matrix man") and don't really know about the weight classes, just that the boxers are relatively small. Loma weighed in at 138 pounds for the Rigo fight, but that was down at 130. He's probably weighing in at 143 or thereabouts for 135. Dunno what Inoue come in at.
Brody Richardson
This. The idea of this fight itself is just retarded from conception.

Golovkin letting his hands go more in round 3. Part of what makes Golovkin and other fighters with great jabs so difficult to win rounds against is their ability to win the seconds inbetween when punches are thrown by virtue of them being able to set the pace and distance that the fight is contested at. Canelo's strategy to stay on the front foot and crowd him is a direct reaction to him admitting Golovkin has the better jab. Even though I scored this 3rd round for Golovkin its clear to see Alvarez's adjustment is working Golovkin 29-28 Canelo
Loma is already pushing it at 135. I'm sure he's gonna drop back down at some point.
Lincoln Robinson
He said once he unifies all belts he wants to go back to 130

>Did anyone even expect Donaire to make it this far No but that was with the proviso that he would have fought Burnett (without him blowing his back out) and then Tete

I think Canelo was actually too aggressive in round 4. He ended up leaving himself open to Golovkin far too often, resulting in the most clear GGG round of the fight. One thing that stood out to me upon rewatching is how short golovkin is on a lot of his punches, including straights and hooks. It seems like the gameplan for him was to try even more than the first fight, to win a decision, not to hurt Canelo. Golovkin 39-37 Canelo
round 5 is another strong Golovkin round. Man was he busy. I think Canelo might have taken round 5 off because he was a little winded from throwing so many punches in round 4. Golovkin 49-46 Canelo
i just wish he'd communicate his thoughts more clearly
Not true, real fans always know boxers in the lower classes if the fighters are good. Look at Vazquez/Marquez. Aside from Roman Gonzalez, the past few years at those weights have been pretty mediocre. It was a lot more stacked even 10 years ago.
Bentley Jenkins
Round 6 is Canelo's best round of the fight. He finally is able to get to the distance he wants to be at, and throws some painful left hooks to the body. Golovkin has a hell of a poker face in the ring, not sure I even saw him wince when they landed. Also the Reynoso in Alvarez's corner is doing a great job with the cut over Canelo's eye, minimal bleeding from a deceptively deep cut. Golovkin 58-56 Canelo
Loma isn't 5'7. IF that's Inoue's actual height they're the same size. As for weight, we all know Loma is a FW eating extra to balloon up to LW. Its an evenly matched fight.
Lomaslurpers are the biggest retards on the planet. He's not a "ballooned up FW", he wouldn't even fight Rigo at FW because he said "I can't make it anymore!" he wouldn't even accept a catchweight.
Robert Sullivan
Round 7 is the round of the night. Both guys took sustained punishment, both exchanged often, both guys were breathing heavy at the end. In these kinds of firefight rounds I think Canelo's go for the knockout strategy really works for him, and without knowing for sure who did more damage to the other, Canelo stay on the front foot and wing all of his power shots sure makes him look like the harder puncher Golovkin 68-67 Canelo
Round 8 is another war. Really even, both guys looked exhausted by the end of it. I'd slightly shade Golovkin again on the strength of his jab but this is another swing round that you could in good conscience score for Canelo Golovkin 77-75 Canelo 2 swing rounds
I see something different round 9 than the HBO commentators did. Canelo looked absolutely exhausted through the first two minutes. Golovkin absolutely bossed this round, but credit Alvarez for staying on his feet and moving forward in that state, he looked like he had no energy. If there is one major thing keeping Alvarez from being historically great, its probably that he just doesn't have a great gas tank and has to take time off during rounds to recover after his busier sessions. Golovkin 87-84 Canelo
Round 10 is an absolute war. Wild swings of momentum, both guys had their moments, but Golovkin closed better and won the last minute decisively Golovkin 97-93 Canelo
Elijah Williams
The fact that his own trainers told him to turn it up in the last 2 rounds shows even his side knew they were losing
Round 11 is more of the same. Canelo is exhausted for the first minute and a half and lets Golovkin land some mean looking straight rights, but then closes the round well. And again I have to favor Golovkin and his workrate over Canelo. Canelo simply isn't active enough, isn't doing enough, to decisively win these late rounds. Golovkin 107-102 Canelo
Good and skillful but lacked some names on his record, arugably he was avoided and to his merit he stopped Jimmy Bivins all time great victory streak.

Round 12 is what everyone wishes every 12th round could be. Both fighters going for the knockout and giving absolutely everything. Golovkin's workrate over the championship rounds at his age is absolutely astonishing. There was a lot of talk about Canelo's greater emphasis on the body of Golovkin both during and after the second fight and it always befuddled me. Golovkin's busiest rounds were the later rounds. It was Canelo that couldn't keep up with Golovkins pace, it was Canelo who tired several times throughout the fight while Golovkin's workrate increased throughout the fight. That doesn't sound like a successful strategy, it sounds like historical revisionism. Golovkin won the 12th round, and yes, in a just world he would have been awarded the victory. But we don't live in a just world and boxing is far from a just sport. But boxing survives because every now and then fans are reminded why they fell in love with the sport with the first place. I came relatively late to the sport, and the first boxing event I went out of my way to see was Floyd-Pac. Suffice to say that fight didn't really excite me. But the very next week Canelo Alvarez fought James Kirkland in a 3 round war that ended with a vicious knockout, and from there I knew I loved this sport. Fighters like Golovkin, and fights like this one, remind me why I love the sport. Golovkin 117-111 Canelo As an aside I scored 2 swing rounds for Golovkin, so scores of 116-112, and 115-113 are also completely fine
>But had to drag Rigo up to 130, adamant he couldn't make 126 anymore Can you show me where he said he couldn't make 126? I've always seen him saying he can make 126 no problem. He didn't wanna go back down to 126 cause Rigo DUCKED him there for over a year, when Loma was in 130 for a while and getting ready for 135 Rigo appeared out of the sewers and wanted the fight. He wasn't gonna go down to 126 to go right back to 135 in a couple of months.
>That's like Lomachenko moving up to Welterweight to fight Canelo Not even close. Canelo can't make welter and couldn't even make 154 for many years. And if that happened Canelo would outweigh Loma by 30 pounds easily. Loma at 126 would outweigh Inoue by what, 10? Depending on how much muscle Inoue racks up before he feels he slows down. They are almost the same height and I believe Inoue even has a longer reach. Inoue also has the power to knockdown Loma, Loma would need a flying kick to daze Canelo.
Still, I don't know how I feel about it, since I believe Loma would destroy him cause of size difference, nothing for him to gain while giving Inoue a small punchers chance of making him look like shit.

not arguing that but his other great wins are Jimmy Bivins and Harold Johnson, not his fault of being avoided but in All Time Great Rankings Ezzard Charles is way above him.

Good overall post, but seriously. Loma and Inoue are basically the same size. The reports of Loma being 5'7 are bullshit. The guy's 5'5 at best and he's got 65 inch reach while Inoue is the same height and has a 67.5 inch reach.
I believe Loma is 5'5 and a half, maybe 5'6, but a lot of that is his long neck. Look at their shoulders height and Rigo is about 5'4. He is also a massive framelet. His body type is 126ish.
I think Inoue would be in a middle point between these two. When Inoue signs to top rank and shakes Loma's hand we will know for sure.

best one so far but given that regis is appearing to be ducking taylor, he should be removed
Christopher Phillips
>He wasn't gonna go down to 126 to go right back to 135 in a couple of months. Oh but now he can make 126 fine after being at 135 for over a year? Hilarious. Lomachenko was the one who ducked Rigo at 126. Rigo asked for a 124 catchweight, Lomachenko adamantly REFUSED that deal because making 126 was hard enough, 124 would be waaaaay too hard for him. He wouldn't even accept a 126 bout when he was at 126 with a rehydration clause of 134, and you're telling me this guy is the same size as a former Light Flyweight champion? A guy currently fighting at Bantamweight?
>Not even close. Canelo can't make welter and couldn't even make 154 for many years. And if that happened Canelo would outweigh Loma by 30 pounds easily. Loma at 126 would outweigh Inoue by what, 10? Only 10? Yet he wouldn't accept the Rigondeaux 134lb rehydration clause despite that allowing him to put on 8lbs the morning before the fight. He's rehydrating more than 10lbs at Featherweight for sure.
>Loma and Inoue are basically the same size >Former Light Flyweight world champion is the same size as a Lightweight world champion Lomaslurpers are the biggest brainlets on the planet. I guess Inoue is also massive compared to Rigondeaux then?

>but given that regis is appearing to be ducking taylor, he should be removed I agree, here, I removed all the SHIT fighters from his list.
The WBSS final is going to happen and Taylor is getting exposed

no, inoue and rigo is also a fair fight. face it, Rigo just got exposed as the chinlet quitter he always was
>that list you're a funny guy lmaoooo
Wyatt Cox
>inoue and rigo is also a fair fight. But I thought Inoue was the same size as Loma, who we all saw dwarf Rigondeaux? Surely Inoue is way too big for Rigo too? Dumb Lomaslurper.
Dwarf refers to size as well as height you retarded nigger.
