I haven't watched boxing in like 3 years, what have I missed?

[daggum]

you missed canelo knocking out benavidez and proving everyone wrong. wow what a night that was.

[JakeTheBoxer]

The problem is people call him a cherry pick then the same people begged him to fight a welterweight so that is what he is going to do

A great point. The same guys that assault canelo for not fighting benavidez demand him to fight a 38 old welterweight. Which he will do.

some people on the fringes might want to see that fight but most people know its another joke of a fight against a tiny guy moving up. of course canelo is going to amplify those fringe voices to make it seem like a legit fight while downplaying the vast majority who want him to fight benavidez. its all about manipulating the narrative so he doenst look like such a coward but i fear he has lost that battle and people know

Crawford is actually smaller walking around than Haney, I doubt he'll be able to pitty pat his way on the back foot to win enough rds to get the W or avoid being stopped since he won't be able to keep Canelo honest.

Bud turned Spence into a bum
I dont remember the names of Inoue's opponents in the last 3 years, felt like he's been fighting cans
oh and usyk beat joshua twice and fury twice

You got valid point there, why people would want to see Canelo a 168er, fight a former welterweight is beyond me, some people are straight up tar ded.

They were begging him to fight Bud when he was still a welterweight, since after Spence fight and before Madrimov fight. I thought having 1 fight at 154 and a close one at that, was going to kill off the Canelo fight hype, but looks like it didn't. People look past Buds age, that he fights once a year (doing the same this year sitting out whilst Canelo fights in May), has had 1 fight above 147 which was close, 0 fights at 160 0 fights at 168, whilst his opponent has been champ at 175 and dominated 168 for years. This isn't even me hating both Bud and Canelo are elite but this is mismatch. I think if fans kept the pressure on Canelo Benavidez im certain Turki would have made that. But you can see from social media the Bud Canelo hype became bigger than Canelo Benavidez

Innoue just beat the #1 guy fulton and tapales and nery who were top 5, definitely not cans.

I'll just touch on the boxing on Saturday nights and having a girl thing.

I always tell my wife that she's lucky I'm not into football or a sport where there is multiple coverage of it weekly. In boxing, the good fights come around once in a while, so AT LEAST give me those nights. Sure, there are lesser fights most Saturday nights and unless we got nothing better going on, I'll be able to escape and watch them, but the argument that can usually win you is that you're watching a sport that comes and go. It's not consistent and that means she won't lose you weekly on multiple days.

Yet in saying all that, she'll still find ways to ruin that 1 big super fight night, lol.
