FOX SPORTS/BOXNATION -THE ONE -MAYWEATHER v ALVAREZ- SAT NIGHT CHAT THREAD

Man, Al Bernstein's been callin' the fights a long time.
When I was about 13 in 1984, my Dad got a 10 foot satellite dish, and Al Bernstein was callin' the fights, and he'd been at it for a few years already by then.
He looked older than he was. I thought he was maybe 50 at the time, but he was 34 years old.

Exactly, you have to blame Alvarez because everyone knows how Floyd fights by now:rolleyes:

Good night, fellas...

Some celeb spotting

I saw:
Justin beiber
Lil Wayne
Jack Nicholson
Denzel Washington
P Diddy
Wayne Gretsky
Micheal Phelps
I am sure Owen Wilson was sat behind P Diddy?

According to twitter Rita Ora was there.

erm anyone else?

Another boring performance by Floyd Mayweather, as he pitty-pats & runs for another dull decision win.

He didn't even TRY to stop Canelo, he doesn't make the slightest effort to be exciting. I don't understand why there are a lot of people practically worship him.

Boxing needs to start taking suspending these judges seriously. No way Canelo won 6 rounds against Mayweather and you'd have to be looking to give Bradley 7 rounds against Pac but somehow CJ Ross is still judging.

Funny - a lot of those pitty-pats turned Canelo's head clean around. I can't stand Floyd, never have, but he doesn't run - he boxes. It may not be your cup of tea, but this is boxing, not fighting - and he's the best at it.

dunno what fight you were watching, he traded when he needed to

Rocco is right, Garcia was clinching a lot in the final 3 rounds. It is ugly to watch and it does spoil the fight. However, in saying that, he had to do it.

---

He had to do it to survive and it sucks that he was allowed to do it.

---

Danny was superb in that fight. you want to see clinching, watch what Floyd does if Saul whacks him

---

WHOOPS!!!! Guess you were wrong. @walrus

master performance by floyd. so who he gonna fight next? i don't see anybody right now that can give him a challenge. he really have to look up to the higher weights.

i think floyd's gonna have problems with his ppv and gate sales next fight if he doesn't choose his next opponent wisely.

Take it Oscar forgot to give Canelo the blueprint?

He fought stupidly for the first 6 in letting Mayweather outwork him so easily. I think Hatton and Cotto look even better in retrospect as they showed how to stifle Mayweather. You need footwork and a willingness to make it dirty. Alvarez like a plank decided to try and box. Just silly.

It reminded me a bit of Mayweather/Baldomir. Mayweather needs to stop fighting plodders with low output. I would like to see him face a boxer or someone with footwork who will let the hands go.

Let yourself down there Miles. Alvarez has been lumped in with Chavez Jr by people with bias, watch him with an open mind and the quality was always there to see. Canelo is very Good but underrated and will only get better. Tonight he rubber stamped it. It is a strange thing to say on a night where he was clearly beaten, but Floyd really is that good. Respect to Mayweather, he did a lot tonight to enhance his legacy and proved he has mettle along with the polish. Quality fight.

Is Justin Bieber Floyd's erômenos?

Floyd must be into ancient Greek culture, such relationships were common there.

Nah that'd be Canelo, that's why he treated him like his bitch in the ring

Why do Floyd Mayweather's entrances never go off smoothly?? They always make me genuinely believe it's an omen or some shit.

I usually fast forward them but maybe it is just a human reaction to the quality of his boxing. I think this fight was pretty entertaining considering the boring nature of some of his recent shutouts. Canelo may not have won a lot of rounds but you always got the impression he was still in it and that the tide might turn.
