    Did Saul Alvarez Carry Alfonso Gomez For A Few Rounds?

    I got the impression he was working on news skills(Shoulder Roll) against Alfonso and just carrying him to see if they work. And they when he decided to finsih it, he did.

        Call it what you want man but Gomez was working him and even Saul looked frustrated and confused
        then he adjusted and was able to finish him off
        but htat was a horrible stoppage way to early
        you can tell the ref took a nice cash deposit from Golden Boy to end the fight if gomez was staggered

          I think he was. Gomez was throwing a lot but he wasn't landing too many clean punches. Canelo was just sitting back and waiting to counter him with that uppercut.

              This gave me a good chuckle.

              You sound so convinceing that i dont even know if youre truly trolling, or just really plain dumb.

              Either way Boxing is not the right sport for you to be watching.

                Canelo carried Gomez. First round knockdown and it wasn't even a "flush knockdown." It was a perfectly timed knockdown at that. I saw in Canelo's face he wasn't getting hurt and decided to play around for 4 rounds. Even letting Gomez hit him all over just to make the audience excited.

                  alvarez knows he was getting outboxed, but that his power or the payed off judges would save him

                    i kinda felt that way too, although i think the ref should have allowed Gomez to keep fighting.
