Seriously, was the fix in tonight? a MD, 114-114 card, and the others 8-4 ish, if Alvarez had actually made it close he would have won

I almost fell asleep during the fight.

Yeah, winning almost every round is not enough!

I really think he filled that in before he went off to the open bar, be interesting to track that con mans track record...and find his e mail

It was an easy fight for Mayweather, but I think most predicted it that way and this fight was never a genuine superfight. Canelo is overrated and in his own way has come through on the Chavez Jnr ticket. He isn't useless, but he isn't very good.
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.

I don't think Floyd likes white people. Beiber is just a token
Re: FOX SPORTS/BOXNATION -THE ONE -MAYWEATHER v ALVAREZ- SAT NIGHT CHAT THREAD
It's really too bad he never fought Paul Williams or Margarito.
It's quite amazing his body has held together so well considering the rigors of the sport at that elite level.
17 years as a pro. Quite remarkable. Bernard Hopkins is the only other guy like that.
Always in tip-top shape. Almost all fighters eventually lose some of that passion and focus, and start showing up in not as good shape.
This guy has always been dedicated to training. And there's the short prison stint to be considered too, that obviously hasn't had an impact.

I said a while ago Canelos fights with Trout and Mosely dictated he would not win tonight.

Boxing judging never ceases to amaze me. I know at this point I shouldn't be shocked at anything but damn.
I think the absolute most you could give Canelo was 3 rounds, and that's being generous.
Re: FOX SPORTS/BOXNATION -THE ONE -MAYWEATHER v ALVAREZ- SAT NIGHT CHAT THREAD
Well good night of boxing. I look forward to the 28th.
I kinda wanted to see abit more action in the main event but Mayweather being Mayweather i should of expected another technical fight.
