Whoever paid a $100 to watch this shit. Must have really been out of their fucking minds. Including the ones who even bothered to watch it at all.

I'm so glad I didn't pay for any of this.
I suppose Plant vs. McCumby sounded like a good fight but otherwise, wow, what a rip-off.
I'll tell you what, though - that Jonathon (Geo) Lopez on the prelims looks like one to watch.

Canelo is still one of the best in the world, pound for pound. He's not The best though, as he said.

When was his last p4p performance?

[Roberto Vasquez]

I've been saying this for a while but Canelo has just never had power at this weight. He has to hit opponents a ton of times to stop them (Plant). And the fact that opponents can take his power mean they are less cautious and land more of their own. Canelo was always a 40% power-based fighter with those big bludgeoning shots he'd send through

He's doing great considering this though and his age. Canelo is the best fighter of our age. So many huge fights and he's still beating younger guys in his decline

We saw exactly the same thing with Benavidez when he went up in weight. Suddenly the monster became a fairy.

He has just cherry picked after Bivol's fight

[Poopdick]

not good. Berlanga is trash and not many levels below Canelo. horrible showing

[Elastic Recoilz]

Terrible performance from Canelo against someone several levels lower than him - throwing shots without pop, gassing after letting his hands go, slow feet, repeatedly turning to the side (which he paid for with a big right hand on one occasion) wild missing shots... He ain't knocking anyone out at 168lbs other than domestic level fighters. He might as well fight Jake Paul or Conor Mcgregor. The idea that he will fight Bivol or Beterbiev is utterly hilarious - I think both would actually knock him out with relative ease.

So you want him to "pick" Benavidez?
The Benavidez that couldn't stop Plant after Canleo had already soften Plant after Knocking him out. The Benavidez that couldn't hurt an Old coming out a long retirement Oleksander who was at
already dismantled by Artur years ago. The Benavidez that hasn't fought Morrell.

If Canelo beats Benavidez you will just say him "pick him" when he was too young inexperienced. Honestly I rather see Benavidez vs Morrell. Two big, young guys. If Benavidez beats Canelo, he beat an old past his prime Canelo.

You say all this after seeing what happened with Berlanga? Seems pretty clear now why Canelo has avoided — yes, avoided — Benavidez. Yeah, maybe Benny isn’t as good as many of us think, but he’s a damn sight better than fuc.king Berlanga. The Canelo that showed up last night might’ve very well lost against Benavidez, and David would’ve certainly trashed Berlanga.

[HisExcellency]

Congratulations Canelo on another great, dominant victory...who else is beating the f^ck out of these young, powerful, undefeated fighter's like Munguia or Berlanga? Exactly.

Mbilli next pls because Pacheco is far too EASY for him unless he wants to face the winner of Bivol-Beterbiev/Crawford.

LEGEND!

[Ropeydope]

Canelo needs to keep Bivol’s muddafuggin name outta his muddafuggin mouth. Win or lose against Beterbiev, he’ll beat Canelo the same everytime.
