Haha, I always post that in my fight/chat threads for you 'foreigners', :p i'm excited about this one, it should be worth staying up to watch, and it's just a few minutes away.

:happy0931sb4::happy0931sb4:

I like Guerrero's attitude, but Floyd is just so hard to solve, and his skill set is the best in the world, both on offense and defense. That's a fact jack, I do think Robert will give it his all, it just won't be enough to overcome the juggernaut that is Mayweather. :-\

As for tonight's fight Alvarez has a whole country behind him, he's undefeated, and full of energy and power, I just don't see Austin overcoming this, for him to win he'd have to be as good as Mayweather, and he's not close to being that good.

So my prediction for this fight is, several KD's for Canelo, and it ends in one of the later rounds. I really don't see the Ref or the judges being a factor. I'll be here for some crow eating Sunday if it turns out different. :cool:

anyone have a link to the canelo fight please pm me would be highly appreciated.

Are you ready.......Lawrence freakin Cole is the ref and the judges are all WBC home boys. Stanley Christodoulou, Rey Danseco and Oren Schellenberger.

Its bullshit and I wont blame Trout for pulling out. The moment Alvarez crowds him Cole will call the tko. Its pathetic and Jose was practically cheering for Alvarez at the press conference. Still cant figure out how the WBA has stayed silent here.

Stop lying. Anybody that knows boxing, knows that Stanley Christodoulou has always a WBA boy. He and Mendoza are homies. Christodoulou is even on the WBA fucking Committee. So how the fuck is he gonna be loyal to the WBC? That's just straight stupidity right there. If Trout is complaining it's cuz he's getting cold feet. It's that simple

---

What difference does it make either way? Alvarez has sold 40 000 tickets for the fight tonight and is potentially a gigantic PPV star for years to come. I'm guessing the WBA would prefer 3% of Alvarez's purse for his future fights rather than 3% of Trout's purses. All sanctioning bodies are the same when it comes to money.

Here we go homies, Bernstein, that embarrassment to Italianos, Pauli-girl, and that MMA idiot Rannolo calling the action for Showtime, Brian Kenny in the studio, the river-walk in San Antonio is beautiful. ( BTW, great place to drink some Margaritas) :) The Alamodome is jammed!

First up, Figurero vs. Cotto (first cousin of Miguel).

:drunks:

Berstein should not have tried to dye his hair brown

The chances of Alvarez keeping both belts for any extended period are very slim. And if he's dropping one belt it'll be the WBA title. And the WBA knows it.
