Had to look it up after I seen you mention this cuz I was curious how big of a dog Fielding was.
Looks like he's a +660 dog or about 7.7 to 1 to win. Canelo is -1200 btw for the people who might be curious.
Yeah I checked it. Odds are stingy.
Fielding wouldn’t win this if they hooked Canelo up to a tequila IV and then made him do a little bit of smack for good measure, and then tied his feet together.
canelo is about 5'7". that's 5-6 inches difference in height.
just trust me when i tell you that it is not oging to matter. fielding is slow, unathletic, british level, and very chinny. he will have no answer at all for canelo's speed and punching power.
matchmakers know boxing better than 99.999% of you, and the rest they forgo / forget so they can make their partners money. this is going to be a short, brutal blood bath. styles make fights. chinny, slow fielding is f#cking dead.
Even Rocky Fielding isn’t picking Rocky Fielding to win this. Might as well come out a swing for the cheap seats

Yeah, people bring up Douglas-Tyson but that was 28 years ago. I was trying to think of a lower weight comparison, Fielding winning here would be comparable to something like Barkley beating Hearns and that was even longer ago. According to boxrec odds there were only 4/1 so not as big an upset as I thought.
I love boxing but I’d only watch this if I actually knew Canelo or Rocky personally,
Fielding doesn't use his size particularly well and Canelo will be too good anyway but I don't think he has any business at 168 regardless of how artificially inflated he can get.
I think Mundo would take Canelo's lunch money; he's just way too big with skill and fight IQ to go along with it.
I do think Canelo will run into problems if he gangs around that division too long. It's garbage right now with no real competition but it'll eventually come around and he'll be way too short to hang.
I do not think the division is garbage exactly. There is a lot less heat though than in the division he is leaving behind, if only temporarily. Zurdo would be a big step up from Fielding and Smith an even bigger step.
Personally I don't think Canelo has any intention of staying in a weight-class he does not belong. This is similar to RJJ seeing a flatfooted HW champ he could beat and grabbing that opportunity.

Those guys are enormous
And way less talented.
Best of luck to Rocky.
Nothing against Canelo as
Usually he fights the best available but it’d be nice if a 35/1 on favourite or whatever he is got chinned one of these days.
Anything can happen in boxing? Not at this level it can’t.
