Exceeded expectations But that stoppage was too soon. Solid fight with a lame ending.

need to see this...anyone got a l in k?

Tough fight for Canelo. Jacobs has those choppy shots and he could see him hitting Canelo with them. I actually see Jacobs fighting like Lara here but with more power and activity.

I'm not picking Manny. I simply cannot see it. And anyone who really analyzed the Lucas, Horn and Broner fights will see it too. It's always been the case though. There are two things that Manny Pacquiao can't deal with: a high, accurate work rate (Morales 1, Bradley II, three of the four Marquez fights, Horn) meaning a guy who isn't afraid to take risks and throw on him, and a fighter that moves as well as or better than him (Bradley, Marquez, Mayweather). Manny Pacquiao looks absolutely stellar against guys who (A) stand in front of him (Clottey, Oscar, Barrera, Margacheato, Rios, Cotto, Hatton) and/or (B) who are afraid to take real risks and throw on him (Broner, Mosley, Lucas, Algieri). Manny Pacquiao throws the same pre-set punch in hopes to nail a combo of 3-4 of that first shot. Horn showed the blueprint to nullifying it by moving to the side whether Manny lands that shot or not, then you see Manny continue like a robot in the old direction with the other punches and can counter him. Keith Thurman is taller, rangier and uses those in every fight he's in. He's not afraid to go to war, but he's a smart mover and that was on full display against Lopez despite him getting hit. The only outcomes I see, as I said, are (A) a controversial draw to set up a rematch, where one guy clearly won, or (B) a Thurman decision. I agree with you but reminds me of Pac/Clottey fight. When Clottey wasn't throwing, Emanuel Steward said that's why Pac's the champion and this other guy isn't. Lots of fighters have known the blueprint to beat Pac but when it came to the night, they didn't do their game plan. I don't trust that Thurman is going to come in like Spence did against Garcia.

Lmao. EVERYONE knows the only reason that fight wasnt stopped. $$$$$. If that cut is on Wallin the fight is 100% halted in the 3rd or 4th round. And since Fury was the A-side, they allowed more vaseline on him then I've ever seen. Definitely more than would be allowed on a less marketable fighter. I'm just glad they didn't DQ Wallin for pawing at it. I really expected them to screw him right there. In any case, Fury's not as mobile as he once was. He's going to cut again.

Looking for aaronbnb?? What now? Good for Pacman. I'm impressed. Doing more than most. Like others said though, he went years without testing.

Canelo is 31. I find it sad that these inactive, unproven fighters are his rivals. There’s no hall of famers out there for Canelo. Pac had Barrera, Morales, Marquez. Canelo deserves to have great contemporaries. GGG is a great fighter to an extent but he got started too late and didn’t have much of a career beyond Canelo. Andre Ward really needed to be in the mix. Canelo and Ward could have been great rivals.

Everybody talking like manny going to KO McGregor. Nah he doesn't go after people anymore. Manny's going to win by UD, possibly SD

it's a good, interesting fight. absolutely zero interest in an exhibition. didn't they learn from floyd-logan paul? people have no interest in an exhibition.

Haven't seen Wood fight but picking him to win. Anyone decent beats Conlan.

He hasn't wanted to be a promoter for years. Oscar can't be bothered to come to fights even when they're in LA. Disservice to his fighters. GB ain't worth a billion though. GB Promotions own some apartment buildings right? The boxing contracts are pretty much worthless though. Vergil Ortiz, Ryan Garcia, JoJo ain't bringing in tens of millions.

Surprised Jake Paul is having such a long break before his next fight. you know strike while the iron is hot. I'd say Chavez Jr will be next but being in rehab, I think he's actually too much of a mess right now. it'd be a bad look to fight Chavez right now. how about one of Canelo's brothers? build up a future Canelo fight.

Hatton doesn't deserve to be in Hall. Less than Gatti who at least had a bunch of fight of the years. Hatton beat a very old Tsyzu, beat Paulie, and 'won' a close decision over Collazo. He wasn't even competitive with Pac and Floyd. If that's HOF, then Khan should be in the Hall. But Hatton was a big name so I'm sure he'll get in. First ballot. A-side privileges

Berchelt has never been the most fluid boxer - he's sorta herky jerky but he's looking straight up uncoordinated now. Needs to hang it up soon. Berchelt would be a good opponent for Ryan Garcia - sort of tailor made. He has zero defense and he's slow but still has a name. Say what you will about Ryan Garcia but he's quick on his feet and he has a one hitter quitter.

Stallone said he saw his first boxing fight after he actually made Rocky. He said his biggest mistake in the fight scenes was that he did not understand the crowd was such a big part of the fight.

I'm still amazed Canelo never spoke English. Canelo really about to do his whole career without a single interview in English. Given that Canelo could not be featured on any show in US, Oscar did a pretty good job.

Just stick with MMA. Did it work out for Clay Collard to keep switching back and forth? Nope

valdez looks like he's going to get tired

can berchelt speak english? always interesting to me when mexican fighters get english tattoos

Jack is too good, too big, and not well known enough. Neither Paul bro will ever fight him.

Teofimo, Loma, Gervonta, Haney, Garcia, Valdez - what will be the first fight which has two of these guys?

It's really hard to picture Garcia being a fighter 5 years from now. Haney 100% will be fighting 5 years from now. Garcia already in cash out mode. Never thought of this but Broner would be a good option for him.

Davis is like 5'3". 130 is not a problem regardless of the past.

styles make fights. danny likes guys that come to him like spence will. danny has the timing and has that left hook.

If all active fighters retired today and were eligible for the HOF, I'd put Canelo, Chocolatito, and Usyk above Donaire. Donaire is admirable and has some quality wins but really only one win over a prime, proven opponent and that's Darchinyan. Points for Donaire that he has been active and fought many elite opponents. Wins count more than valiant losses though.

Great topic for an article. Agree with all of the points especially that more low profile fights are getting odds. Another factor: Fighters fight more infrequently so sportsbooks and fans get less of a look at the fighter so more misreads happen.

And suddenly this is starting to look like Cotto Marg 1 cheers boxing classic in progress

it was a pointless fight. let's see what Joe Smith does next.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wor...plan-2022/amp/ Friggin idiot , that 2 seconds...also YouTube , Spence on barbershop conversations VADA if that link didn't work just Google what I told you idiot "Manny Pacquiao enrolled into VADA until 2022 by WBN"...it's literally the first article....geez urban america is screwed as Donaire proved, just because one is enrolled in VADA does not mean they are tested. Steve Kim said that he talked to boxers and NONE in the program had taken a single test.

Zero interest in Bivol even though that's probably the toughest fight for Canelo. Bring on Joe Smith or Beterbiev. Canelo KO's either of them.
