Will they move the Canelo vs GGG fight to another state?

[RetroSpeed05]

Dan thinks it has a good shot of not happening because Canelo suspension will be longer.

When the Nevada commission extends @Canelo's suspension, which I expect it will do, and KO's the May 5 fight, who should @GGGBoxing fight? My column: https://t.co/Qg4HCSrMu0 #boxing #CaneloGGG2 @TomLoeffler1

He's saying who should GGG fight when Canelo is suspended. At first he was saying the fight could be moved to another state and he used the Tyson vs. Lewis fight as an example. The difference is Tyson was denied a license for behavioral reasons, not for medical or drug reasons. Canelo would be suspended for drug reasons and other states would honor that suspension. Dan said now that he's talked to people and read the rules he thinks all states will honor the suspension and that Canelo is getting suspended. Which is what I've been saying from day one.

Canelo is one ****** mother fu ck er. I love his fighting style but this was just ******.

Too late. You can't just book a big venue on Expedia or some shyt. This takes a LOT of work in advance to book, sell, etc.

Maybe they'll extend the hearing period - that way they can let him off scot-free and he can still fight GGG, albeit an older, slower, weaker and more past-prime GGG later in the year / 2019.

All that and Canelo can't be accused of ducking / marinating because he was suspended unfairly doe after being found innocent of taking PEDs intentionally. It was an accident doe, he didn't mean to take PEDs doe.

Interesting, not good he wasted GGG's time and he's getting older.

They should, but if all states will ban it, only place I can imagine would sanction it would be Russia

Im guessing Mexico is ready and willing to host the Cinco de Mayo fight provided several cows, cattles and beefs allowed to attend live.

Something else I just learned. Golden Boy set up a press conference with the media and Canelo canceled it.

"The problem," one official close to the situation told the Los Angeles Times this week, "is that Golden Boy can't control Canelo."

.....

What could help clarify the matter, with the Nevada commission scheduled to determine at an April 10 meeting if the fight will proceed, is Alvarez's voice.

But Alvarez has retreated into his gym in San Diego and, save for social media barbs sent to Golovkin, has stayed silent about the failed tests.

A planned meeting with a small group of reporters was scheduled for early this week, then canceled shortly before the gathering was to take place.
