thank god for fighters like canelo

A lot of people were saying this is what boxing needed after the disappointment of May-Pac and I agree, but at the same time I wasn't massively impressed with Alvarez. I think Cotto beats him.

Huge Canelo fan but it was Kirkland so calm down. If you are on here you know the sport...somewhat at least, so dont embarrass yourself by saying Kirkland was a beast

Thank GOD for Stupid Fighters with Weak Chins like Kirkland as well. Styles Make Fights! Give me #1 vs #2 over #2 vs #53 :lol1: Respect to Canelo but Calm the FUK DOWN with the Re-Hyping Of Canelo he Fought Kirkland! If he does that to Cotto then I'm Very Impressed and I will :hail:to him 100% yes I expect him to beat Cotto but if he dominates him regardless of Cotto being Older, that would be Impressive for a young fighter The thing is he fights anyone. It not like hes fights bums for a living. The dude resume is freaking impressive for 24 years of age. He makes for an exciting style to hate us fans for that

In total agreement here. Duran was the master who could make you miss while on the inside without running away like a girl. I don't think the so-called purists know anymore about boxing than casual fans do either. All they ever claim is that the casual fans don't see the mastery of scientific boxing but they never offer specifics. I think they just like to belong to some elitist club to way "Ha. We get it and you don't." If they knew anything, they would show more appreciation for a technical master like Roberto Duran who would beat anybody out there these days and the old days. What is sad to me is that this sport(including many of its fans) shoot themselves in the foot all the time, making more demands of the fans(customers) who pay for these fights. What ever happened to the customer is always right? And besides, you don't draw fans into the sport with boring track meets. You draw them in with fights like this along with Gatti-Ward, Trinidad-Vargas, Duran- Barkley, Chacon-Limon and so on. But good luck telling these elitist, boxing purists on here. They refuse to admit that the majority of people want a fight- not a dance. It's all about the fights, We're fans first. and it should stay that way. Fighters fight for our entertainment. It's all it is,boxing is a sport created for entertainment, just like the Romans in the Colosseum spilled blood to hear the crowd roar. It's that simple, All sports were created for entertainment. If a fighter does not entertain, then he has no value to the paying costumer. As far as i see it, If I'm paying for a boxing match, i better be paying to see their fist move for the sports intended purpose, if i wanted see someone run around , i would pay for a track meet, or soccer. But this is boxing, they have gloves for a reason, we pay for athletes that are primarily trained to throw punches. I don't mind you being defensive,But we tune in for you to throw punches. Or is that too much for a fan ask of a Boxer? seriously

It was an exciting three rounds and Canelo matched with the right opponents can be exciting to watch like most Mexican fighters. But I'm sorry I have to disagree with the Ward Gatti mention, those guys fighting each other while entertaining was like watching two human punching bags go at it.

Canelolujah

for the record this was never a race debate , its about style and what I prefer , and yes I do believe mayweather is ****ing boring as do many people his fights are the same pattern over and over run clinch slap whenever opponent is close throw elbows run clinch slap potshot run some more. , **** that **** , you mayweather fans find that exciting god bless you but no thanks for me, I remember an early mike Tyson doco where Tyson was talking about the great heavyweights while watching a joe Louis vs tommy farr fight and he was telling the interviewer how farr was coming forward and how back in the day if you didn't fight and stunk the place out you perhaps wouldn't be paid it was a given you earned your money.

Don't go too hard on him, there aren't many Mexicans to root for these days. Between all the cheating and being overweight, they're also dealing with serial duckers and cherry pickers to pad their unprolific style. i like how you complain about mexican fighters and yet have a mexican's fighters product as your signature thats marquez's KO not floyds.

Actually you were the one to bring up nationality first. Something about Rigo and Japanese sushi chef? Don't think I forgot son. :lol1: I wasn't being racist doe, he was a JAPANESE no name bum. Just like other boxers are referred to as cab drivers. You on the other hand started talking sh1t about my nationality and then went on the defensive when I called you out on being ghetto, crusty, filth. Stay salty son.

I wonder if this idiot and D-Checc are the same person. All they do is ride Mexican fighter's nuts and go on racial tirades about black people being "ghetto trash". You guys are such one-dimensional people. It's pathetic, sort of like the current state of Mexican boxing is. Getting beat over and over and over again must get tiring. I know you're frustrated, but find new ways to deal with it. You bring nationality/race into the thread first then cry about racism, you can't make this sh1t up. Victimisation 101. :lol1: :nonono:

Canelo did good on Saturday and he closed the show. Props to him. But canelo isn't really a blood n guts type guy. He is very opportunistic when it comes to knockouts

yeah the so called purists will brag on about Floyd being unbeaten blah blah dee ****ing blah , the warriors will be remembered not the runners, you can be entertaining with both skills on offence and defence Roberto duran combined both masterfully. Your post implies that you feel Mayweather is a runner, why? Would you rather someone stand in front of a punch if they have the skill to actually move out of the way? Not sure when Mayweather earned the title of runner but it certainly wasn't when he fought Canelo, you know the fight where he stood in front of his opponent and schooled him.

Don't go too hard on him, there aren't many Mexicans to root for these days. Between all the cheating and being overweight, they're also dealing with serial duckers and cherry pickers to pad their unprolific style. This is the sh1t im talking about. Then you blacks get all butthurt when we talk sh1t back and expose you for the ghetto trash that you are. Eat a dick. :fu2: Then we get threads upon threads in the last week where there's blacks crying about racism on the site. :nonono:

Well it was. Canelo is hardly what I'd call an exciting fighter. He was only exciting because Kirkland sucks so much and blocks every single punch with his face. He was boring as hell against Floyd, Trout, Lara, Rhodes, Matty Hatton & so on but each to their own. I'm giving kirkland props in my comments. Dude gave it his all even after been hurt in the first. Went out like a warrior, salka style lol

Yet you praise Canelo for beating a guy who got knocked down three times and stopped by one in a single round. :thinking: I praise a good fight b1tch.

the fight went exactly as I thought and I was thrilled about it !

This is coming from a Rigo fan. *gets knocked down twice from Japanese sushi chef*- "SEE RiGod isn't boring y'all DKSAB!" :lol1: :pat: Yet you praise Canelo for beating a guy who got knocked down three times and stopped by one in a single round. :thinking:

To Kirklands credit I said his china would never make it past the first, and it got to 2 and a half. he was boring against lara ??? really ??? perfect example of what iam saying lara ran a ****ing track meet all night canelo chased him and forced the only action all fight !!! This what im talkiing about but but he chased him all nite doe give em all the rounds! :lol1: So sad

Good fight don't get me wrong I just struggled to get hyped and thought it was nothing but a one sided beatdown. A 3 round highly predictable mismatch. Truth be told.
