Saul "Canelo" Alvarez aims to cement his place in the pantheon of Mexican boxing greats on Saturday when he steps up a division to face British world super-middleweight champion Rocky Fielding at Madison Square Garden. Alvarez, who won his rematch with Gennady Golovkin in September to claim ownership of the middleweight division, has wasted no time in climbing back into the ring. Click Here To Read More]
I really hope Fielding puts up a good account of himself but the truth is that has seen his fights knows this is a mismatch. Don't let them even fool you into thinking the size difference is a thing. Fielding got a gift v John Ryder not long ago, he is about Canelo's size, but about 50 levels below.
The strange thing is, it's not even like they're cherry picking for a proper title, which i could understand. It's like going up to heavyweight and beating Charr and saying you're the heavyweight champ.
Pretty bizarre choice of opponent when you weigh it all up. He's not a good name to add to the record, nor is he a proper champion.
If we're honest, it's basically a keep busy fight because Canelo has only fought once this year because of his failed tests. What use is winning a WBA regular belt to Canelo?
Of course they wouldn't fave ward. Fighters at 168 wouldn't face ward lol. But the fact canelo is already a small middleweight, facing one of the bigger super middleweights, and just coming off a war with GGG a few months ago, this is indeed a tough fight. Size and weight difference will be huge. With all that being said, canelo should still win, but it has the making of a tough fight
I don't think it will be a tough fight Canelo defense has improved a lot
Ward aint 168 no mo
Where they find Homey? Look like he fell outta one of them rowing boats at Harvard. Except he got that semi-retarded look like the Olympic Swimmer with them ears. Might be the same dude.
Anyhow, Oscar sounding more ignorant everytime he opens his mouth. Golden Boy... please get someone presentable for the company. Half-the-time Oscar is bleary-eyed, color-drained from his skin, eyes all wild or sleepy-as-hell. His clothes are now questionable... he used to be razor-sharp snappy dresser. Looks like he just lefta BarBq NOWADAYS. (CHECK HIS POCKETS FOR UTENSILS)
gb DUG UP THIS BUM SO dazn CONTRACT KEEPS SERVING UP DAT CASH. tHEY WILL FEED cANELO ANOTHER BUM ON cINCO DE mayo--watch. THEN FEED HIM A HOBO BEFORE THEY GIVE HIM A 154 pounder for 16th September--albeit a 154 pounder on the rise... or an overweight Spence or Thurman. They not gonna risk that DAZN money. Gonna milk it till DAZN kicks em in the balls n makes them fight GGG OR jACOBS OR THE DRUNK cHARLOS. i PREDICT cANELO gets fed the younger Charlo to beat up... then we get crazy revenge sound-bites from the other drunken Charlo for a year or two P playbook Gotta love boxing
This is just Oscar selling the fight he knows this guy is no threat I bet if Ward was the 168 champ they would never make this move unless it was a 300 million dollar fight
