Thoughts on the Canelo-Angulo fight: Was it rigged?

[DreamMerchant12]

I've heard a lot of people say it was but I've never seen the entire fight myself so I can't make any judgment on this. What do you guys honestly think?

[ßringer]

No, it wasn't rigged.

Everybody in the world knew that Alvarez was the superior talent going into that fight. In fact, I'm still surprised that a healthy portion of NSB morons were giving Angulo a shot to win that fight.

Then the fight goes down exactly like people of decent intelligence predicted it and all of a sudden it was a fixed fight and you had idiots in NSB blaming everything from Amir Khan beating Angulo up too bad in sparring to Angulo being clinically depressed despite their being no evidence to support either theory.

Canelo > Angulo. All day. Every day. Twice on Sunday.

[Larry the boss]

No,Canelo is just a far better fighter

[Basco]

Yes Canelo was suppossed to win that fight but all that pitty, padding Angulo did looked weird to me!

[Reginald Ledoux]

No it wasn't rigged. I picked Angulo to win but Canelo beat his ass

[Public_Enemy]

Canelo steamrolled Angulo like he was supposed to. The early body shots took the fight out of El Perro. There was no fix. Angulo had no answers.

[BUNGALOWS]

Picked Canelo to do exactly what he did, because let's face it. Angulo isn't that good.

Blah blah blah Lara fight.

[Loque-san]

No it wasn't. People wanted a reason to call Canelo a hypejob, they thought Angulo would give him all he could handle. When Canelo manhandled him, they had no choice but to say it was a fixed fight. Give Canelo credit? No way!

It was the same Angulo who fought Lara. Canelo is just a different fighter. He's also bigger and stronger than Lara. Angulo couldn't back him up against the ropes to land his punches. It was Canelo who pushed him back at times, ripping him with vicious power punches.

Angulo did look slow and weak, but keep in mind he was getting tagged from round 1. Canelo shocked him.

I did feel like Angulo didn't put much power behind most of his shots and looked like an amateur in there and didn't throw his shots with conviction. Perhaps the previous battles he had and the media attention got to him with this fight and it didn't help that Canelo went in there from the opening bell with guns blazing. Later in the fight Angulo started throwing his shots with more conviction but he was already too beat up and the ref stepped in before Angulo's face became a complete mess. I just wonder where that fire was the entire fight with Angulo and by the time he found it, it was too late. Canelo had done too much damage up to that point and the fight was stopped.
