Not a giant AJ or Wilder fan..I think AJ has had better competition and would favor him over wilder even though I'm an American..To be fair though,AJ beating Wlad in front of 100,000 people is great for boxing.Wilder over a fighter who obviously didnt train at all?? Not so much.He did what he had to do.That's all
GGG has to get the KO to win.."but what if he knocks Canelo down twice?" If he knocks him down twice keep watching because he's about to get the KO..Prediction. Canelo gets knocked down once and scores a razor thin and maybe questionable split decision
Now that a lot more picks have come in, it looks like we're hovering around valuing the fighters pretty much in line with the betting odds (aka Mikey just over a 3/1 favorite).
Judging by how Broner has looked in camp and his claim that he was 144lbs a week out, giving Broner a decent shot to win might be fair afterall. Given how much better Broner has been doing with picks in the last few days compared with the first few days of the thread, I'm inclined to believe that people are buying into the idea that Broner is taking this camp more seriously than usual.

I'm sticking with Mikey though myself. :boxing:
20 quint wager perhaps?
Stuck in the teens so I have to do something to finish in the top 5..Broner's superior reflexes and Al Haymons ability to reach east coast judges..Broner close
It's pretty amusing to see these betting odds. They aren't as wide as I would have guessed. The odds are closer to Porter/Berto level than Stevenson/Fonfara level, which made me wonder if the casinos were a bit high on Jeff Horn for some reason.
Then looking through Pac's odds history, I realized this is about the same as the odds were for Pac-Algieri. It's probably less that there is optimism for Jeff Horn's chances so much as there was a lack of optimism in Fonfara's chances. Which turned out to be justified.
What about the most recent update?Are we going to get one?
I've watched a few Horn fights now and he's awkward for sure.he has a crazy looking,looping overhand right but nothing like the straight right of JMM or Morales,Pac's getting old for sure but no way I'm betting on Horn
The runner? Is that a gambling expression or something ? Canelo isn't a runner in boxing terms.
Sorry it's a baseball term.Everything that's close in this fight is an advantage for Canelo.if its a close round then 2 of 3 judges will probably score that round for Canelo. The same way the referee always seemed to judge things in Floyd or Oscars favor,that should be true for Canelo as well.It takes a slight underdog like Canelo and makes him a slight favorite
In close fights, the Mexican always loses unless its in Texas.
BUT styles make fights and I can honestly see Canelo clearly winning. Moving around the ring does Canelo no good. Canelo should box center ring, slip and counter. Canelos quick reflexes will be very very telling the 1st 5rds. Meaning he will only have to win 2 more rds after that to secure a win assuming theres no KD's. As long as Canelo keeps his D tight and sustains a lil higher than normal punch count he will win a 7-5 type decision. that seems about right.if it was Canelo and not Jacobs,Canelo would have gotten the decision and no one here can make a fair claim that Jacobs is better than Canelo.ive got Canelo by split decision.
GGG net worth is now 35 mil.its not nearly as much as Canelo but GGG doesn't have to take s--t from anyone.on a side note,I'm no longer sure that GGG is going to beat Canelo.its starting to look like a really good fight
Too close to wager..The thought here is that Ward has the higher boxing IQ therefore the most possible improvement.Oakland kids stick together.SOG close
