164.5 pound fight? Of course there's a favorite Oscar. Lay off the coke bro, you're high.

Cokehead lying like he always does to hype his little coward Mexican up against trash opposition.

Canelo is a 9:1 favorite according to oddsmakers and casinos.
Typical mismatch because one fighter gets 100% of the advantages and the other guy who is mediocre at best will be drained to a Zombie.

I'll say this at first it looks like a mismatch but as the more you look at the pure physical size of these guys it starts to slowly get a feel of a 50/50 fight.

Look at the presser. Chavez Jr is about 3 to 4 inches taller and his reach advantage will around 10 inches.

Skills wise Canelo has the advantage but he is moving up 10 pounds and it will be interesting to see how his power and speed translate to a bigger division.

Chavez will be able to impose a size advantage over the diva and is she isn't careful, she will get rocked and possibly dropped.

Ohh, there's no favorite. Wow, I really have to watch this fight now since Oscar is putting his golden goose in with a 50/5o threat. Just like when he said that khan was the favorite vs Canelo to people who know boxing.

[TheCell8]

He can pretend that's the case all he wants, but the reality is that Chavez is a 8-1 underdog. If the fight took place at 168 he'd still be an underdog, but because this is a CW fight at 164.5 (Canelo's 6th CW fight). Because Chavez hasn't weighed less than 168 since 2012, this is seen as a huge advantage for Canelo who is already the more skilled boxer but will now have an additional advantage.

Oscar's talking out of his ass too much. Poor Man's Bob Arum.

What a f*ggy fight for f*ggy Mexican casuals

I am putting money on Chavez f*** it, I like Canelo I don't like how Oscar keeps him wrapped in bubble wrap. They think Chavez won't be able to make 164.5lbs I hope they are wrong.
