    He'll definitely be tested in this fight... I'll say that for sure.
    I think the Tyner fight, Tyner kept pushing him back... but ANgulo is a different fight altogether.

      Tyner is a small Welterweight...I think this is the first time he fights a real JMW who can punch. The Tyner's, Matt Hattons and Jose cottos dont prep you for this.

        I think he will handle Angulo's pressure by knocking him out before it goes to the late rounds. Kirkland KOed Angulo. Canelo is a faster, sharper more accurate puncher than Kirkland. Canelo has a better defense than Kirkland and a better chin. Anybody that throws as many hard punches as Angulo is dangerous but I think Canelo will win.

          Angulo's best chance is to do what margarito did in the first Cotto fight. If he can take Canelos leather then he will win. I don't trust Canelos stamina.

            Kirkland had to spend half a fight hitting Angulo with a ridiculous amount of punches to stop him. Alvarez doesn't throw as much or as hard, nor anything like the same style.

            We'll see, but I have a hard time believing Angulo gets stopped early unless his punch resistance is gone.

              Kirkland Straight left to the body was taking it out of Angulo. You are correct, totally different styles.

                Perhaps a more fitting question is can Cinnabon hurt Angulo. He will have a long night if he can't

                  You never know. He might be able to, but I have Angulo willing based on the pressure.

                    I think Canelo is like a 5:1 favorite. I'm seeing this fight live in Vegas and if the odds don't change too much I'll be putting $200 on Angulo

                      Angulo ain't that much bigger and to pressure effectively especially without a defense usually one has to be the much bigger guy, size are similar and Angulo ain't difficult to hit. Don't see how Canelo struggles here, I'm expecting vintage Canelo with the combinations.
