Comments Thread For: “Fighting Words” - Canelo-Angulo: No Miracle, Just Mercy

[Guest]

I remember the Leavander Johnson- El Matador fight, and thinking around the 7th that it should be stopped as it looked Leavander had nothing threatening.
I didn't feel the same way about Saturday nights fight with Canelo and Angulo.
Angulo clearly wasn't going to win but I guess the theory is he's a puncher, he might get lucky.

In all honesty, I felt kind of empty after the PPV. All the fights except the first one just seemed to be bad mismatches with relatively durable guys so it was round after round of the same.

All of them were showcases. The main was the only one I felt was going to be competitive

I think it was a classic case of fights looking good on paper, but not so good looking in the ring.
