Cotto vs. Floyd Jr. & "Canelo" Alvarez vs. Mosley - Saturday night fight thread

[Mars_ax]

Alrighty, here we go, Lampley, Merchant, Steward and Kellerman calling the action for HBO PPV tonight.

First up: Carlos Quintana vs. Deandre Latimore, 10 rounds, junior middleweights, so 3 fights before the main event.

[Mars_ax]

Quintana you might recall won the WW title from Paul Williams only to get waxed in the rematch.

[Mars_ax]

Ledderman has it even 2-2 after 4 rounds in this 10 round opener.

I believe Quintana is up 3-1, after 4 and outworking Latimore.

[Mars_ax]

Quintana pounds Latimore to the canvas in the 6th round, nice KO for the 'Rican, great opener.

[Mars_ax]

Next up, Jessie Vargas vs. Steve Forbes, 10 rounds, welterweights. I thought Forbes retired, who knew.

[Mars_ax]

I have little interest in Vargas or Forbes, Vargas figures to win a boring 10 round decision in this one.

[Mars_ax]

Where the fuck is everyone? If you aren't interested in these fights tonight, you may as well not watch boxing.

Quintana just did a number on latimore

[armin]

So far this is one of the best days of boxin in a loooooong time

[armin]

I would love it if shane could turn back the clock and do a number on alvarez but to old and 154 was never his best weight to begin with

[CFH]

I would LOVE to see Mosley pull off the upset here. I can't stand Alvarez.

[CFH]

Mosley's looks very stiff-legged and Alvarez' shots seem to have a thudding power behind them.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I knew Cotto would get on his bike.. he's doin all the right things.

[Tam Seddon]

Strong performance from Floyd, really did show why he's the best tonight.
