Do not see any talk of this figt. Are we all assuming Canelo wins easily? Don't want to count Lopez out, especially after the Ortiz fight. The kid can punch and Canelo does eat some punches. I think Canelo wins via late stoppage, but will have a few rounds that are wars. Your thoughts?
Yes, I am assuming Canelo wins easily. This fight is a total joke IMO.
Count him out and its more of the same albeit a stagnant weight. Cotto set up for next May.
I hope Lopez beats the shit out of Alvarez but I'll just wait for the upload and watch Martinez/Chavez Jr. live. MGM is a way better venue for the live gate. GBP get's more stupid as time goes by. Every time they get a big card they manage to through away buys.
I agree with you and I'm not forgetting Lopez put on an exciting performance with Ortiz. Ortiz is no sissy and bangs pretty good with plenty of pressure, but Lopez stood up to everything and kept coming. He won Canelo's respect, who then picked him for his next fight. It will be a war for as long as it lasts.Quote:

And Alvarez will walk in at 160 ish.
Gonzalez and Ponce deleon guarantees fireworks with a Jhonny tko :o ! Maidana and Soto Karass will meet ring center and insult each other with the mere thought of showing defense. Leo Santa cruz is a friggin whirlwind and breath of fresh air. Hope they show all four bouts.
If it was at 147 it'd be worth watching. The best entertainment will come from the undercard.
Lopez will give it a go and is on a high but think the weight will be too much and he will lose.
It's just not as interesting as Jr-Sergio, but i'll definitely be watching on Showtime, i'd love to see Lopez win, but it's doubtful.Quote:

Not a bad card, lots of title fights.
The Canelo / Lopez undercard is pretty stacked and better than the Martinez / JCC Jr which does have Macklin, but the main events are miles apart. I like Alvarez and think he will turn out to be the fighter Chavez thinks he is, but tonight the Madiana / Soto Karass fight has the potential to eclipse the cinnamon kids dusting of Lopez. Josesito will go out fighting though.
lopez ko.
Lopez is a loooooooooong shot, but I hope he wins.
The Chavez vs. Martinez fight looks to be more competitive and far higher stakes. Definitely a lot more exciting.
The undercards are not bad and going on right now.
Santa Cruz and Morel are going at it big time...Morel doesn't look like he can maintain this pace and its only rnd 2
Morel is old as the hills, Santa Cruz will take care of business.Quote:

Great call by Morel's corner. I wish more trainers were that proactive.
The corner stops the fight, good move, Morel was taking a beating.
Morel done in corner after 5th as Santa Cruz was an absolute buzzsaw, tremendous combinations and body work.
Morel went distance and was heaped praise last out with Mares but he was shredded tonight.
Man, this is a sad interview... I really hope Williams makes a full recovery somehow.
Nothing but respect for that man....that was somethingQuote:

Maidana is going to butcher him. Probably.Quote:

For f'ks sake..has Maidana been bench pressing Cadillacs ???
This one is getting gritty! Bayliss docks both guys a point in 4th ??? and they trade bombs....Maidana actually "boxing" and not doing to bad early
Maidana is a bad mother fucker. I don't even mind how dirty he is.
This must be maidana's cousin or some shut. I'm too messed up to say who's winning and trying to watch both cards and college football but maidana does look good
Karass threw after the bell first there.
This might be foty is these two idiots don't get themselves disqualified.
Soto Karass best round I'd say in 5th...love Bayliss but shit job on no point deduct after Maidana throws blatant after bell. They should have held this one on the strip out front!!!
Maidana gassed...
Maidana just seems too small for 147.
Killer ass fight, brutal
"Ms. round 7" is stunning...jus sayin
The body attack is turning the fight in Karass favor
Yeah! That was sweet.
Don't really agree with the point deduction. But Maidana just doesn't fucking listen
I'm cheering for Maidana, but I have a ton of respect for Soto-Karass.
It seemed to be in retaliation for the low-blow Soto-Karass landed the previous round which really seemed to hurt Maidana.Quote:
