No open scoring is only in Texas under the WBC

Didn't know that, thanks.

I just hope its competitive, the RG fight in May was boring and after a few rounds you knew Mayweather was going to win a UD. Seeing Floyd get dropped would pile on the tension for sure ha.

It was in Mexico for Kirkland-Angulo as well. Could swear it was used for a Mares fight at some point, don't remember which or where it was though.

It looks to me like Mayweather has started to get under Canelo's skin with the "idiot" remarks and insults and for the first time tonight on All Access I saw Canelo lose his cool. Expect more at the Weigh In, then when Canelo enters the ring and has to stand there with the lights out and with the big screens showing Floyd walking out with some A list celebrity or two, and all of that pressure mounts to a point the dude can hardly breath, he'll know this is something different.

Mayweather is going to stop him late. The kid will take a lot of combinations and right hands and will fight through them early but eventually he'll get gassed and simply be able to do nothing but show courage as his face gets cut and swollen and the shreiking sounds from the audience begin and we all start feeling sad and wishing for the stoppage. Canelo will earn all of our respect and sympathy through the beating, but at the end of the day, this is going to be a one-sided assault that will stun boxing and virtually leave Floyd opponentless because nobody will seem credible enough to face him next.


I'll bet all of the points in my bank with the first person who has the cash to take this bet. I'm saying Floyd STOPS HIM. Just let me know.

Canelo is the REAL champ WBC/WBA he should be coming out last..

You're on my man. Appreciate you stepping up to the plate. So just so we're clear, you're putting up all of your points and I'm putting up all of mine. We're clearing out our entire e point account and giving them to the winner.

The official bet is: I say Mayweather stops Canelo via KO or TKO and you say he won't.

The winner can pull this thread up a day or two after the fight and the loser will pay up. You have the odds in your favor, but when I hear Floyd say he's sharper than ever and will be going for the KO, I'm going to take my chances.

On the flip side, Canelo is talking about how hard this fight will be and needing an A, B, and C plan, and watching him get flustered about Floyd talking smack - oooh a weee, just wait until Floyd starts toying with him in the fight - it's going to unravel on the kid. It's just too much for the kid.....all of this.

Anyway...good luck. See ya after the fight.

Floyd NEVER goes for the ko. I remember when he took pictures with Guerrero, asking him how do you want it? Guerrero replied right in front and what did the opposite

it did seem like the mayweather camp according to him is lying so it did get him mad. coming from mexico he's seen big stages he has a whole country behind him I don't think he's fighting in front of 40,000 thousand this time is he

No hes not. Floyd is the WBA champ. Canelo is the WBC champ. Canelo has a povetkin style WBA "regular" belt which means nothing, and meant nothing when Trout had it, sadly..

Pretty boy Floyd's fragile hand becomes unusable after 4 rounds. After that Canelo will pounce. KO in the 9th.

I continuously hear the number $200 million, as if it is a proven fact that Showtime is paying Floyd that amount for his six fight contract. Anyone who believes that Showtime is paying Floyd this amount of money is dumber than the blogger who pulled that number out of his ass or the other bloggers like Fat Dan Rafael and Kevin Iole who kept repeating it until people began to accept it as fact.

No one knows the financial terms of Mayweather's contract with Showtime because the number was never released to the public. However, I would bet everything I own and my own life that they are not paying him $200 million for six fights because that number makes absolutely no sense, even for boxing. I would bet the number is closer to $50 or $60 million, which amounts to $8 to $10 million per fight. That number makes a lot more sense and would still make it the richest contract in boxing or sports history considering it is a 30 month contract.

Mayweather has always entered the ring last since the De La Hoya fight because the person who comes out last is the one with the most power and influence. But, the good thing about it is it will give the haters something else to complain about after Mayweather beats Alvarez.
