Sorry bluntt, I couldn't find any boxing events in Mexico City for this weekend or the next.
The common venues for boxing events are:
Arena Mexico
Arena Ciudad de Mexico
Arena Coliseo
Palacio de los deportes
And the common places to buy online tickets for events on this venues are:
Ticket Master Mexico
Super Boletos
But saturday nights you can watch local fights from other states on channel 7 and channel 5 at 10:30pm, and they usually put PPV events in there if they consider them attractive for mexican audience.
Hope you have a good time here in Mexico City.
... But if Monroe Jr was able to go toe to toe heads first with GGG ...
If you call going "toe to toe" being dropped on the second round, get toyed around and then quit "No más" style then you need to watch more fights.
And if you think that GGG's style is always like that you need to watch more GGG fights.
That said, I hope this fight is done to clear everybody's doubts
Its not even close, Mexico has had a lot more champions, take a look and compare some lists on wikipedia:
Mexico: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mexican_boxing_world_champions
Puerto Rico: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Puerto_Rican_boxing_world_champions
So if Khan wins miraculously, can he ask for a 148 lbs catchweight for the WBC middleweight title? Because Khan will be the A side right, and if GGG doesn't comply he will be ducking? (NSB logic)
Well, I meant a bracket kind of tournament like in tennis. Right now fights are arranged between the boxers and their managers and sanctioned by one or more organizations, in a bracket system boxers have to fight whomever they are matched against, they don't get to choose.
Ring Generalship is when your favorite fighter lands no meaningful punches but you want to award him a round.
Exactly! LOL
Also: "My favorite fighter is imposing his gameplan, I'll give him the round!" because of course, we all know both fighters exact game plan and we are master tacticians...
No, BlakBread904 its not aimed at you, and you are correct stating "little is left up to negotiation in a NFL football game." and that's what I think boxing should aim as a sport: less things that affect the outcome should be let open to negotiation.
If you add weights limits, ring sizes, gloves, venues and many other things then you can balance very effectively a fight to one side, so something has to be done to set some bounds and stop some fighters from abusing.
I'm a boxing fan, not a boxer fan, so catch weights are bull. As BlakBread904 said: "Middleweight is from 154.01lb-160.0lb" then for a Middleweight fight you can weight anywhere between these values, OK, but limiting your opponent not to weight inside this limit is crap, that shouldn't be allowed. Why? because boxing is a sport, it has it's rules and if you want to play you have to stick to these rules, and if the sport of boxing wants to be respected then it has to follow the rules. Imagine if Pittsburgh Steelers made their opponents play in a 50 yards local vs. 40 yards visitor field because "Yo dawg, I've won more super bowls than anybody, Im the A side dawg" plain stupid right?
Its really bad sportsmanship but that why contracts were invented.
And if a camp repeatedly interferes with other fighter's training camp they should be penalized or something.

This is an exposure fight for whatever the promoters think their best chances of getting the next big superstar. Also, has to be underpaid good names like lomachenko. Great fighter with very good skills to lead up to the big fight.
This is exactly the case. This fight will sell by itself, you don't need any one to increase sales/PPV numbers and share revenues.
So now this becames the perfect scenario to show off your new upcomming fighters and start building them as the next superstars. And remember this is targeted for the casual boxing fan that doesn't know, in this case, who is Lomachenko.
But regardless as to how loudly they cry, Team Golovkin understand perfectly..... because they did the exact same thing to Ward.
I didn't know GGG had a 168lb belt and Ward was the mandatory for it and GGG only wanted the fight at 161lb because that would be the "exact same thing" right?
I think GGG haters are becoming the most anoying group of NSB posters by far.
"GGG is the best pound for pound fighter today". Roach's opinion. But what does Roach know about boxing, right? i mean... LOL you gotta love the haters.
And as always, the loser will be "exposed" and tagged as a complete bum.
Chavez Sr. said in TV Azteca transmission that salido had a very hard time trying to cut weight, that he almost didn't eat anything since monday and his heart rate was very high. I think thats why Lomas team took the fight.
I didn't like the fight, too much clinching and amateurish habits from Loma's side, he was the challenger and from my point of view he stepped in like he was the champion. In my book the challenger has to give an extra if he wants the belt.
Salido gave a dirty fight but nothing we hand seen before. I think he won but he is getting old and I'm sure he won't fight again on this weight.
Not sure if I can agree, but Deezols shared the ring with some of the best in the sport so his opinion has to carry some weight and he's never really come across as a shill. Regardless, it's clear from these and previous comments that he rates GGG very highly. I do too, but I'm starting to doubt we'll ever see that really put to the test which is kinda disappointing.
