He's a cat, and Hopkins, that didn't duck anyone and now he's making his cash cow duck Golovkin. I fought Canelo in this because Golden Boy works for him. I don't think he's scared but if he wants the fight, he should demand it. GBP works for him.
The only way this fight happens in May 2017 is if no one buys the (bleep) PPV in September 2016. I see the business aspect but damn, you knew Oscar was gonna do this (bleep).

Fight won't happen until September 2017 because it's best for business. They couldn't come to an agreement, so how do you expect them to make a fight when both sides can't agree to the demands?
How is he ducking GGG when they have an agreement to fight in 2017? Better for Canelo to fight at 160 and see how his body responds to the extra weight instead of jumping into a fight with GGG. |
Guess that (bleep) theory can go out the window now that Canelo is moving back to 154 to face tomato can, Liam Smith: Link. More evidence to alleviate any alleged confusion about whether Canelo is ducking GGG. |

Alvarez has joined the fold, money before fan wants. He talked a good game about how Mexican fighters don't duck anyone. The almighty $dollar has changed his tune. Fans can blame Oscar but the reality is Oscar doesn't have the last say, Canelo does. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I'll be at the O2 arena tonight, watching our boy Anthony Joshua hopefully continuing to demolish anyone put in front of him. Got the seats as a birthday present, hoping to see a spectacular finish! _________________ Lakers, Chargers, Dodgers, Arsenal FC.

okay..I'm not mexican.. and I actually do understand why a lot of mexicans don't like Canelo since he doesn't necessarily fight mexican style..
but this is a smart move.. financially.. and physically..
let the fight grow in hype.. bigger pay day.. especially if I'm going to risk getting smashed by GGG..wait til GGG is another year older.. |

How? If they said Canelo will fight at 154 and then move up for his next two fights.
Quote: | Golden Boy CEO Oscar De La Hoya declined to comment through a spokesman, but a source with knowledge of the plan said Alvarez's fight on Sept. 17 -- opponent to be determined -- likely will be at the junior middleweight limit of 154 pounds, where he perhaps will seek a world title fight.
But after that he likely would fight "one or two more times to build himself up to 160," the source said. |

I'm not a fight aficionado. Haven't been to an arena since the Olympic, watching Hedgemon Lewis and Indian Red Lopez go at it. I'm a fan, one who likes good fights. I like Floyd's as much Tyson's.
What I don't like is promoters in Brunello Cucinelli, sitting behind Sligh Laredo's, taking no risks, getting the lions share.
Fans aren't getting the best of the best. The Marciano, Louis, Robinson and saddest of all, Ali, days are gone. Today's fight game is a bunch of BS.
Talk about Don King if you want to, he beat the fighters out of money but he gave us good fights. Oscar is a huge disappointment. He came from that era. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Possibly. He got dropped by Broner and fights a sloppy fight. I could see Thurman catching him on one of his lunges. |

He's changed his style. When he first came on the scene he was a boxer, a damn good boxer. Now he more a slugger. That's going to get him in trouble agains Keith. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I thought Hurd vs Molina was a good stoppage. No chance for Molina to win. He was taking a lot of punishment. Of course there's always the chance of a one punch KO. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I'm from a era that had referees scoring fights. I don't remember when or why they stopped having a voice. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Solid. Joshua big massive mitts on Breazeale. Just wasnt ready. Don't think he would ever be ready. Dude just didn't get me excited in the many fights I've seen him live. Glad Joshua put an end to his hopes. Josh needs to pump that jab more though. That thing is actually like a damn power shot.

I can see the stoppage. Don't have a problem with it but you'd atleast like the let the guy try to finish especially if he's throwing back. Either way was fine. Entertaining scrap. |

I like the scoring and the scoring from CBS's judge. All had it 115-113. Not
115-113, 117-111 type of (bleep). Thought it was a draw or 116-113 either way. Really a good fight and they will probably rematch it because I don't see Thurman going after Brook or Garcia. If he had dominated Porter, he could have easily demanded one of the two.
Porter took some nice shots and kept coming. Really good night of boxing. |

Word is that Danny fights Berto winner fights Thurman. Berto is a no win fight for Garcia. Small money, everybody expects him to win. Berto has a chance vs. Danny. He can still hit and I don't think Danny can keep him off. Bad fight for him. |

Good to see the return of Mikey Garcia. The (bleep) side of the boxing game took away two years from this dude. You know Arum has to be pissed watching him jump to CBS/SHOWTIME. |

I too had it as a draw.. but I could see Thurman with the power punches taking the win. I thought Keith was going to win going away until shawn came back and made it a fight.. |
