I relish every moment of watching a living legend apply his craft. A+.
What grade do you give #TheOne PPV Card?

Basically why I gave it a D plus being butthurt and gotten to about a few outcomes.B
i was expecting a lot more action/knockdowns and even a KO from the matthysse vs garcia fight
and canelo and floyd happened just as i expected...not much action, just a tactical fight with a veteran schooling a young inexperienced hype job...
it didn't live up to the HUGE HYPE this fight was getting...still was entertaining thoughComment

Before hand: A+
actual results= C
theopane vs cano= B, not a meaningful fight but was entertaining
Ishe- Molina= D, meaningful fight, but absolutely boring, knew that was going the distance before it even started,,, just glad molina became a champ
Garcia-Lucas= B good scrap, danny weathered the storm early, beat up lucas down the stretch, scored a knockdown, won the fight, earned alot of respect,,, Not the fireworks they were hyping it up to be but was a good fight
Floyd-Canelo= C Canelo came to fight, but floyd is lightyears ahead of him and it showed,, Floyd basically turned him into a sparring partner after a few rounds,, Canelo performed better than guerrero but not as well as jlc, cotto, or oscar,,, Good fight, but little drama
all in all, would have like at least 1 or 2 stoppages, but thats boxing,,, Great card on paper, didnt really fulfill the hype, but it was still entertainingComment

Cano vs Ashley was the best fight of the night. All the other fights the ref ruined it. I mean that dumb fuck Robert Byrd was too involved and warning cano for nothing but that aint stop cano from taxing that ass.Comment

B*
Cano vs Theophane was a good battle
Molina vs Smith was my toilet break
Garcia vs Matthysse broke my heart but the best fight
Mayweather vs Canelo just proved to be as I expected, one sided as hellComment

re
B...B...not as much action and "knockdown drama" that I thought there'd be, but it was good show. Some notes:
-Smith was the champion and Molina the challenger, but it was judged like 10 round undercard bout. I felt that not only did Smith outbox Molina, but the challenger didn't do nearly enough to take a champions belt. Some fruitless head first bull rushes by Molina.
-Smith is an extremely emotional guy
. The TOTAL emotional breakdown after the K-9 fight, and the sulking after Molina's fouls. But yet he showed little reaction to the robbery of his title, and just quietly left the ring!
-Danny Garcia did a tremendous job not getting caught with too many of Mattysse's bombs. Besides the one that knocked the mouthpiece out. But in the last round, Garcia attempted a "victory exchange", to put and exclamation point on the win
? Garcia was winning the exchange initially. But THEN a smile came over Matthysse's face! Garcia was finally giving him what he WANTED! Matthysse starts firing back! Then Garcia is like, this guy wont stop throwing punches, and is actually ENJOYING this! As Mattysse starts dominating the exchange, Garcia is thinking, this man is an animal, let me tie him up
!! Garcia was probably relieved the bell sounded before Matthysse got out of the clinch
!
-Floyd has a problem. There's SOMEONE out there who can match skills with him, trust me, and he just hasn't gotten his shot yet. But the opponents he's being matched up with are so overmatched that the fights seem...BORING. Its not his fault that he's so much better than everyone else! So the PPV has to be stacked with an undercard of more evenly matched opponents. Garcia/Mattysse was the fight of the night. I just cannot watch an overmatched opponent get toyed with for 12 rounds. Bradley and even Pacman would be exciting fights for Floyd. Wont happen because of the Arum feud. Garcia, Alexander, or Canelo II msy be down the road for Floyd...I'm just not seeing the excitement. I'm seeing the same 12 round clinic.Comment
