Thread: Angulo vs. Canelo.

Who do you pick to win this Saturday. It should be a war.

I think canelo will win but I still haven't decided how. I think 70% chance he wins by unanimous decision (8 to 4 rounds) and 30% chance he wins it by ko or stoppage between 8th and 10th.

Ever since Cotto's brother staggered Canelo, I've been curious whether his chin will hold up against a puncher, now we have the chance to see whether it can against Angulo. I'm just not sure whether Angulo is good enough to beat Canelo. Canelo has a smart team around him and I think they picked Angulo for a reason. I like Canelo in this one.

On paper...Canelo should be the overwhelming favorite. But i just am not 100% sold on him yet. It's the right matchup for him in the sense that Angulo is not slick. But Angulo has HEAVY hands and is relentless. If Alvarez catches one on the chin...things will get very interesting. I also want to see how Canelo's suspect stamina holds up if he is pressured for the entire fight. Could be a very good fight.

Without politics involved, this is a very close fight.. for the first time, canelo isnt fighting somebody who is smaller than him and weaker.

Canelo has this bad habit of fighting in spurts and he goes through lapses where he doesnt throw much.. that shit may work against inferior oppositions but against better fighters with power and high workrate, that shit can backfire on him.

Angulo needs to stay close and throw punches in bunches when canelo tries to rest..

I think angulo has a great chance to win.

This looks a good fight on paper but Canelo is my favourite and I hope he wins.

Angulo ko

Well ASs Addict I think I'll have to go with Alvarez...

Viva Mexico!! =P

if i had to put money on it, i would pick canelo but canelo hasnt fought anybody his size hardly at all. especially somebody his size that can punch. canelo will have to stick to boxing. personally, i wouldnt consider it an upset if angulo won.

im surprised how big angulo look against canelo

i was sure canelo would win until i saw those pics

Canelo wins. Angulo is perfect for him, he always comes forward, you don't have to look for him and he's there for the jab, uppercut and the hook.
Angulo could try something new for a few rounds, but when the pace heats up he will revert to his all out aggressive style, it's who he is.
Hey, anything can happen in a fight, especially this one, but I think Angulo's come forward aggressive nature will be his undoing.
Fight night will let us know where our opinions belong.

Is this for some kind of title? Is this a 10 rounder or 12 rounder?
I'm picking Hunter to win this fight for Angulo(if its a 12 rounder). Hunter had to work on his defense somewhat. HAD TO!!! That and Canelo is not good fighting off his back foot.
Nonetheless, I can see this fight being a draw or someone winning by a late knockdown. Should be a war.

Whose on the undercard?

I think Canelo has some serious nutsack fighting Angulo, especially after coming off of a defeat. Good fight, I think Angulo is a little too slow though to win a decision. His only chance is a KO, like I said, excellent fight to watch. I'll be at a wedding , so I'll know who won before I even watch it.

Canelo is going to box Angulo's ears off. Angulo will pour on the pressure and Canelo will pot shot and counter him until Angulo is stopped...I say maybe 8 rounds
