Was there a segment I missed on First Take he admitted Canelo didn't win? Seriously asking. Never heard it.

Originally posted by Diego Rodriguez View PostI agree to an extent. Boxing in the US though is in decline and I think it will continue. That said it still has a following and there is money to be made. But yes I think US boxing has some serious challenges and I am not sure there are enough good people to figure out how to right the ship in the US.
As for boxing internationally, well that seems to be going very well.
I said this before and I will say it again, big money fights IMO have hurt the sport. The boxers make great money but when your stars only fight two times a year and sometimes only once that isn't good for the sport as a whole.

I was kind of sad when I heard the news. It's an end of an era.
They've been in the game a long time. If they can go, anyone can.
The production used to be iconic, the music and graphics. I used to enjoy Lederman, Foreman, Steward, Lampley, and Merchant back in the day.
They've showcased some great fighters and some great fights. It's a shame really IMO.

Ya'll can't even figure it out....So I guess we need another Floyd Mayweather but he definitely doesn't want to say that...….

I think boxing in the US will continue to have a place. I do not see it growing any longer. There may be some stars that pop up and individually do great numbers but overall I just don’t see it growing. Just my two cents and I hope I’m wrong because at its best watching great fighters square off is as good as it gets in sports.

Originally posted by landotter View PostWhen did he say that Alvarez didn't win the fight? Not saying you are wrong, but with him parroting "Canelo is winning the story of the fight" repeatedly over and over (which made no sense and he explained it poorly) and his reaction to Leaderman's card during the fight (I see it completely differently, and I would not be surprised if the judges do to) even as Harold said that it was a wide open, 50/50 fight, I saw no Golovkin love.
