The Official Canelo Alvarez-Alfredo Angulo RBR & Discussion Thread

[UTEP]

I watched the Angulo / Lara fight again earlier, and it was a very different Angulo. . .

Of course it was. Angulo was playing patty cake tonight.

This Canelo stops Martinez, but I do think he would have a harder time with Cotto.

Angulo even looked flat during the ring walk. Weird fight

I was thinking the exact same thing as he made his way to the ring.

At the time I just wrote it off as his wanting to conserve energy. I even felt the first couple of rounds was all about strategy and Angulo trying to get Canelo to tire out before he turned it on (which I thought was a smart move).

But I was wrong in both cases. For whatever reason, he was just flat. I hate to throw out random speculation I have absolutely no hard evidence for, but maybe something happened in his personal life right before the fight? I don't know.

That said, I in no way want to disparage Canelo’s victory. Flat or not, Canelo is just in a higher class in my opinion.

I knew Angulo would become "bum of the week" this morning but I had no idea it would be this bad. LOL, anything to discredit the "ginger", got to love NSB

I think i overestimated Virgil's work thinking he could improve Angulo's defense but the only defense which Angulo showed last night was block with his face.

[El Angel]

There aren't many that dislike Canelo more than me, but even I could see that Canelo is on a other level compared to Angulo.

Canelo was throwing power shots from the jump and countering nearly every punch Angulo threw. That's what caused Angulo to be gun-shy, he was getting visibly stunned and not reacting intelligently. Regardless of whether or not it was 'fixed', Virgil Hunter was already contemplating on stopping the fight, and Angulo did look genuinely upset with the ref's decision.

fixed

this young mexican king fixed angulo's face with clean power shots in combination.


it's called matchmaking, dogs. not fixing, matchmaking.

what the f#ck else was angulo going to do when he fought another puncher with much faster hands?

I get that posters don't like Canelo because he has a ton of fans and is one of the chosen ones, but this stuff has been over the top ridiculous. Did you ever think there would come a day when virtually every win by a fighter is credited to cheating or fixing or something else. Anything rather than just admit "I was wrong."

Is this stuff going to happen everytime a power fighter loses to a boxer/counter puncher? Posters need to learn that power and brawling is only going to get you so far.

I'm sure Angulo agreed to let Canelo beat the **** out of him I thought Al Haymon pays the other guy to take a dive not his own guy.
