The Boxing Thread

Canelo’s defence is looking free as fuck right now. He’s working the body, but he’s not moving forward after working that jab.

Cotto is so active, Canelo maybe stole the 3rd with his best shot of the night but… Free is def the word lol

cotto wife got those funbags yo

Gawd damn, Throwback Cotto working the body and hitting those combos while Alvarez just stands there.

Canelo is beating cotto up

Cotto is just busy

I have it 3-3 but it could be 4-2 in either direction IMO

I think Canelo got the 7th and 8th def. maybe the 3rd as well.

Cotto’ just taking too many shots. When they trade blows he’s getting the worse end of it. I think Canelo may be too strong for him and if anything, Canelo’s defense is looking good. Cotto can’t hit him clean.

Now, Canelo is connecting with those combos now that he remembered to move and throw. Cotto needs to get that KO to win at this point.

I don’t think Cotto has enough in the tank to turn this around. Canelo’s got this.

I have it 7-5 Canelo.

8-4 could be easily as well. Canelo def won. What were the scores? my stream didnt have them up

Canelo won so meh.

*Fight went almost exactly like I thought it would. Canelo too young, too big and too strong for Cotto. *

UD Canelo.

Canelo obviously won. However i thought the score they gave him was bit too high.

I’m looking forward to Canelo/GGG!

Watch that ginger give up that belt quick to avoid GGG.

That doesn’t seem like his style. I think he’d take the fight, it’s a matter of whether GGG will go down in weight to meet him. I think there are too many weight classes. Guys can get away with avoiding fights by gaining or losing a few pounds.

Remember when #TBE schooled that Ginger Mex and GG’ed him 12-Zip? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Anyone one else disappointed with the fight? Like I don’t expect to just trade and kill yourself out there for the heck of it but come on. Cotto running and jabbing all fight and Canelo man you are on your peak, your 25 your mexican don’t you want rip this other guy head off? Cotto dude you are losing, how about pressing more dude. This guys look like they can fight again right after the match is over. I don’t know, i have never done boxing or am very savy about it, but come on! Was going to talk about Freddie Roach but since I can’t said I know enough about him to comment, I will leave it at that.

Boxing ain’t like it was back in the day… People are just going to have to accept that these big money fights aren’t gonna be battles to the death-- There’s too much money to be made through rematches and shit for these guys to be giving each other brain damage every fight, so they don’t go for the kill, just to get enough points for the decision.

Mayweather changed the game, and now cats are boxing for the payday and not to kill each other in the ring.

Canelo isn’t a killer. Sure he’s outclassed lesser opponents but aside from the Kirkland fight, I can’t remember he had that “ima kill this guy” attitude. Just not his style and Cotto was gassed, and perhaps a little disheartend when his hits were having very little effect.

Styles are important and some folks just don’t mix it up like that, it’s been like that forever mayweather didn’t start it.
