You can bet your last dollar the Monster will show out. He always does. Never ever in a bad fight irrespective of what the opponent is doing

That's part of why I have him #1 Pound For Pound. If they were all the same size The Monster would knock them all out.

I was thinking the same thing.
"You will attend the boxing event under penalty of beheading."
That should do it.

It would work on me. I'd be there a day early.

This has been the most "fixed fight" in the history of boxing...Even if Scull KO Canelo (what never could happen) they could invent something to get Canelo-Crawford fight. Scull got more $$$ this way than if he could "win" the fight. You remember when Canelo fought Floyd despite he was so clear defeated there it was even a judge favoring Canelo. When Rigo defeated clearly Donaire the "reward" Rigo got was the contempt and criticism of Bob Arum and from there Rigo was "done" with boxing. Yesterday was Arum, today it's Turki Alalshikh "at bat"...He's who decides no matter what...

Beterbiev is a 175 guy, he probably punches as hard as cruiserweights. I actually think Beterbiev can win a cruiserweight belt even now.

Congratulations to Scull for picking up an easy paycheck at the Disco last night. I can’t wait to see his next fight. Was it just me or was the song “Jive Talkin” playing each round? Wait a minute, maybe it was that 60’s classic “Runaway.”

...& I wonder how Scull got this paydaaayyyyyy, dat little runaway, run-run-run-run-run runaway...

In Guadalajara the ring would have been full of projectiles & pigs' blood, the arena a cacophony of boos ijs

Turki is providing boxers the perfect cover staging fight in Saudi because there are no real boxing fans per se and the people that do attend are there for insomnia therapy. Can you imagine any of the fight this weekend at a venue attended by real fight fans with these fighters like Canelo, Haney, Skull, Bakole, Lopez, Badou, Garcia, being booed all night.

Then these Promoters wonder why most people aren’t paying for PPV because you can watch this garbage fir free on a pirated signal. Turki spent more on fight purses this weekend than the UFC probably pays their fighters for the whole year, and yet, UFC fights are fights. Turki had better change his purse model and demand fighters come to fight or else he should pay fighters like Canelo $1M and Skull $100K and be thankful they earned that much.

While I certainly appreciate reading the debate in this thread regarding cutting off the ring...

...that's not the only way to catch a rabbit.

You don't chase, you build your control.

Canelo used to set traps very effectively, does getting older drain the mind of the ability to think through not just a vague strategy but appropriate tactics with which to achieve it?

One can absolutely walk a runner down in straight lines; slowly, gradually & sneakily with the back foot settings (a la Sean Strickland in MMA or like Foreman II used to), using punch angles that restrict him by being where he's going to be (e.g. like Canelo did to Khan).

When was the last time Alvarez tripled up or varied the level of the jab on the way in...??? Used the waist & knees in any way whatsoever....????

We out here acting like a boxer (in this instance a knockout artist at that!) taking the risk of expending energy in order to force the fight against an opponent who is reluctant/unwilling to engage is a criminal expectation or suttn, like WT actual F smh looooooooooool.

We must not make excuses for the poor performances of supposed champions, regardless of what the opponent does (outside of extreme silly shït).

You think Chavez ain't catching this guy? Baby Beterbiev? FOHeeeeeeere

I assume you’re talking about Chavez Sr and not Jr. Julio actually had a very similar fight against a contender called Lonnie Smith during his reign at 140. Like Scull, Smith opted to fight very negatively and with lots of movement, and just like Canelo, a similarly aged Chavez struggled to land anything all that significant against a similar type of fighter.
I thought Canelo did a very nice job of varying his jab in the early rounds against Berlanga but then he seemed to step off the gas and was content to just land his left hook for the most part. But his legs aren’t all there anymore. Years of roadwork and gruelling training have wrecked his knees imo.
