Comments Thread For: Saul Alvarez Begins Training For June 18th HBO Defense

[ThoedEssay]

Sergio has only had 4 first round KO's and all of those were against guys with as many wins as losses or losing records. I highly doubt he would KO Cotto or Mayorga in the early rounds, Cotto's got much better defense than he get's credit for and Mayorga is tough as nails. I am not saying they wouldn't lose or get KO'd, but definitely not in the early rounds, that's for sure...

that was a diffrent martinez the old one who, this one would destroy him with ease i agree canelo vs rhodes shouldn't be on PPV but it's not sauls fault

[King Ju-Ju]

the only Reason jotto was on PPV was cuz of his fanbase and the only reason it people watched was cuz of mayogra's trash talk and he looked like **** for a guy who had only 1 fight in 2010 imgaine if he fought martinez KO IN THE 1st

Who takes anything Mayorga says serious??? People that watched it just for that are idiots. Cotto fought once in 2010 aswell so x that. And why your bringing up Martinez for. He would whipe the floor with Alvarez so x that one too.

LOL how quickly people forget Cotto won his title against a worse fight then Matt hatton

I'm glad to see Canelo getting some attention, but I think he should be headlining free HBO to get more attention and when he fights a Cintron or Cotto then move him up to PPV. I'm not hating, but I think putting this on PPV will limit his audience on the US.

Alvarez/Angulo is worth PPV.....rhodes isn't. I'm just saying.

As good a pairing as it is on Paper, Angulo and Alvarez are just not big enough to carry a PPV on their lonesome by June. And it's been the better part of a year since Angulo even fought. Guy needs a tune up first, or it just might not be what it could/would/should.

WBC really does need to make with Angulo's title shot. He did earn it in the ring after all, which is pretty rare lately from what I'm noticing.

not true...pinto was a hell of a lot better boxer than matt hatton...and he was a legit contender at the weightclass unlike matt hatton

canelos title = worst way to win a title
