Watching the Santa Cruz fight again, and those left hooks to the body are painful to say the least, he throws them with tremendous technique and accuracy.

I felt bad for Lopez but it was a good performance from Canelo. Hate him or love him, you don't see those combinations everyday.

Canela got the 100k? So the least deserving fighter on that card, got rewarded with the money? Disgrace! Of course Mexican's are going to inundate the phone lines and give their fighter the cheque. The commentary team or an independent panel should have made that decision not the audience.

It's not his fault PWill nearly died, Kirkland ducked him, and Ortiz' face nearly flew off his head. When people say this, they act like Lopez the JWW was the only fighter left in the universe

It's not his fault PWill nearly died, Kirkland ducked him, and Ortiz' face nearly flew off his head. I didnt know those were the only junior middleweights willing to fight for the WBC title?

Did Josesito have his moments? Did he rock Alvarez at least?
