    Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks this.
    Canelo honestly looked freaking confused with Gomez.... and he's a freaking WW.
    I lol'd at the judges

      They aren't going to put Canelo in with anyone semi-slick again after the Gomez fight exposed some of Canelo's weaknesses(trouble against movement and angles, lack of a jab, waits too long for openings). The best move imo would be to push back the date and fight Kirkland when he's healthy. Kirkland has the perfect style for Alvarez to look good against but still has enough danger factor with his power that the fight can't be written off as another no-hoper. And it doesn't make since to have Alvarez competing with the Martinez-Chavez Jr fight(assuming something random doesn't throw that fight off), because there's no way the Alvarez card gets watched in that scenario unless he's fighting Cotto.

          Most likely it will be Molina, I was thinking for sure it would be Quintana, but given that he has recently said his team has not gotten a call, I doubt it.

          Lets see what happens.

            Yeah I know I'm sayin wasn't Gomez behind on the scorecards when the fight was stopped. I even remember Gomez defending properly when it was stopped, it was way to early. I'm thinking they'd look for a way to give it to him regardless.

            ... but when he got tagged it looked like the fight was changing directions.

                Yeah, officially Gomez was behind a ridiculous 50-44, and 49-45(x2) at the time of the stoppage despite having appeared to have won at least three rounds prior to the stoppage(HBO unofficially had the fight a draw going into the sixth round). So he wasn't going to win by decision and a moot point because the ref stopped the fight as quickly as possible to boot. Canelo's well-protected in a lot of ways. That said, I would say as things stand the only fighters currently at 154 who would beat Canelo are Mayweather, Lara, and Cotto.

                  Yeah I agree. I'd add Trout. He has the style to give the ginger huge problems. Maybe Molina too, cause he's so awkward.

                    Rosado? Mayorga? Molina? I thought GB said they had already chosen their opponent.
                    He will fight bundrage on CBS, take his title, have 2 belts then unify vs Mayweather next year
