Holy shiiit. You have to shoot Soto Karass to stop him, and Maidana almost did, .... well that was a shit stoppage?!
Come on Bayless. Horrible stoppage
Agreed. Way too soon, especially given how close the fight was.Quote:

Oh my fucking god what a fight i just woke up and that fight sure woke me up, i only see the last 3 rounds but boy from what i see an incredible fight, Karrass looked to be in control but then that right hand from Maidana totally changed the fight around. Karrass was done after that right hand good stoppage.
Very good fight. Thought it should of gone on for abit longer before the ref stopped it.
There is no way that would have been stopped if it was Maidana on the ropes.
Solid ass war but shouldn't have been stopped, bad night for usually a top notch ref in Bayliss
That was brutal. Never thought Maidana was going to do that after Soto Karass got on top.

For the two or three rounds it will last, this is going to be a great fight.
Im so pumped for tonight's fights, more excited than i've been in quite sometime, so many potiental slugfest's.
It seems Gonzalez has been fighting for a thousand years.
Somewhere Killer watches ;D...get in here son, your bwoy is ON
Gonzalez looks very wary here. Malignaggi is a great commentator.
No shit, I would have been less surprised if they had said it was his 41st birthday.Quote:

Thats a nasty nasty gash in PDLs head, hope they let it go! Gonzalez just too mobile.
Not quite the fireworks i thought quite yet but its an interesting fight.
Ponce's cut on top of his had to be from a headbutt?
Great punch from De Leon, Gonzalez was badly hurt.
I get the feeling that Gonzalez will get stopped late on.
Gonzalez lucky not to topple to the floor outside the ring, he got caught good.
PDl really pouring it on, Jhonny looked wilting last round. He throws those brutal 'axe handle' type shots
Well he did get stopped but not in the way i thought, but i think De Leon edges it he scored a knockdown and started to impose his will later in the fight.
Good decision De Leon would of probably of stopped him late on anyway, i think Gonzalez was happy it was stopped.
Ohhhhh wow :o. Crap ending on a nasty cut but PDl wins title on tech dec. You could see the tide turning
Wow this sucks both main events are going to start round about the same time, guess i'll have to watch Canelo vs Lopez tomorrow.
Technical UD for Ponce, on to the main = Canelo vs. Lopez - come on Lopez, you can do it dude.
In other news: Canelo stops Lopez in the 5th round.
Canelo Alvarez defends belt, stops Josesito Lopez in fifth round - ESPN
Some say it was stopped early, but i'm not so sure, Lopez was looking done. Like him or not Canelo is a tough kid, and built like a brick shithouse. Cotto/Canelo would be a fucking war, i'd love to see it.
Just saying....Quote:

Alvarez throws such surgical shots, his combinations are fast and accurate. Really enjoy watching him. The knockdown in round 4 was beautiful.
No matter who he is in with, he seems to keep getting better. I wasn't sure of him at first, but he is the real deal, future hall of famer I think. Going to be a real gem in his generation of fighters.
I think Shawn Porter is technically better than Alavrez.Quote:

Whens this dude going to fight someone with a pulse? FFS they are even waiting Cotto out until next May.
He's a young man with plenty of time. He is also intelligent, with a plan of his own. He is going to be a a much bigger star than he is now. He has impressed the hell out of me!Quote:

Certainly possible at this stage of their careers. Again, hard to tell given the low level of Canelo's competition (which was not his fault this time -- remember that Lopez got made only after 3 better opponents fell through), but from what we've seen recently, Canelo at least has the potential to be that good. His combinations and body punching on Saturday were beautiful to watch and he looked very strong for 154.Quote:

Agreed Cotto first then Floyd afterwards.Quote:
