You know if this would have happened 2 or 3 years like it should have GGG would have beat him pretty easily. Canelo pulled a Floyd and waited for him to get older and slower .

You do know not even 3 years ago Canelo was fighting James Kirkland at 154??? Man your ******ed!

So your saying GGG got older waiting on a smaller guy to move up in weight???

This is as dumb as me saying GGG waited for Ward to get older and slower before he fought him.

The start time is a bit peculiar... 8PM ET, is about 1-2 hours earlier than most boxing PPVs start. The Main even will likely end up taking place at 10:00PM ET. That could affect the PPV numbers. I'm interested to hear their reasoning for starting it early.

Eastcoast buys.

Will Canelo use winning gloves again for this fight?

**** I hope not, that was very odd. I never knew he had hand problems.

The Rock cooked this promo up casually like a boss

It's ironic the rock calling the rematch as the first fight seemed staged like wwe, all a ploy to secure another large profit in the rematch or trilogy I can see another fix and a third fight this september

My boy GGG better targets that body.

Who's those two cats in your signature (especially the one in white)?

Yeah me too, I wonder how different the fight would've been had Canelo used his usual Everlast MX gloves.

Fight will play out a lot like the first but this time they can't get away with giving canelo a gift

Eastcoast buys.

Could also affect the west coast buys. The Main event could start at 7:00 PM on the West Coast.
