Comments Thread For: Photos/Weights: Saul Alvarez 149, Lovemore Ndou 148.9

[boxingfan76]

Why is Alvarez fighting Ndou at 150? If he cant get down to 147 at this young age already it is clear that he is headed for jmw. I wonder if his chin will hold up againt the punchers at 154. He seems to have the talent to go far in that division but im not sure about his ability to take a punch.

I agree his chin is a bit of cause for concern ,well see how it plays out only time will tell........

I dream of a day when Canelo KO's Clottey.

That's the world I want to live in.

Ditto, I would mark that in my calendar.

What division is saul alvarez fighting at?? I think the cotto fight was something between 154 and 147 too??

A lot of his recent fights have been at 150, he looks like he's headed for JMW.

Everybody keeps acting like he can 147 easy, but why does he keep on fighting above 147?
What's the point of a fight at 150?

[LeadUppercut]

Staying active is important and if it not for a title or an eliminator, he dosen't want to over do it with the weight.

He spoke with Rafael and told him he can make the weight easy.

Aaaah interesting. Good approach.

I like the way theyre handling Canelo.

It's great he's not being pushed too hard, too early.

Exactly i dont get that either.

I got some ?ions of my own on Alvarez regarding 150 or Welterweight

[MJ406]

Hes been fighting at a 150 limit for his last three fights.

got ya, but Canelo also holds a Silver title at Junior Middle (referenced in the article)

so if you're defending a belt at Super Welter, why make fights at a catchweight?

He just dont want to hurt his body going to 147 for every fight.

right but 147 is Welterweight where 150 is Super Welter, and at 150 he's still a Super Welterweight/Junior Middle ... so is Canelo making his fights purposely at 150 as a future plan to campaign at Welter?

I'm also a incredibly below average boxer on the College team.

that's pretty cool, how many colleges have boxing?

Canelo is looking for a career in WW
That's why he is slowing approaching the weight

^ I thought Canelo fought at Welter before. COulda sworn I've seen some of his fight weights listed at or around what Welterweight would be

A lot of his recent fights have been at 150, he looks like he's headed for JMW.

well fighting at Junior Middle and holding a title there, I'd have to think Canelo has the more realistic future at Junior Middle. but fighting at 150 does make me think he possibly might move down to Welter next year

ndou looks rip but hes passed it

[check hook]

Gotta give it to Ndou....what he lacks in skill he makes up for in desire, will and conditioning. I read a few years back that he does 100 pushups on the hour every hour no matter where he is.

apparently even in lectures at university his watch alarm goes off and he excuses himself and does his hundred.
