Things I took away from tonight's fight.....

[Beanflicker]

He shouldn't have been there in the first place.
That much is clear.

In hindsight we can say that, sure. I didn't hear anybody calling it a gross mismatch beforehand, though.

One of my if not my biggest pet peeves of modern day boxing. The speed in which people are written off.

Lose a fight and you are overrated. Pathetic. Drive through fucking boxing.

It is not just boxing. This is the philosophy of the modern world nowadays

Good point. Still considering what this sport entails it should set itself apart from this plastic instant gratification world.

I remember Roy Jones was expressing this thought, that boxing commentators always "beat" fighters, especially after they fail. They are labeled washed up / over the hill immediately

Its much bigger then the bearded clams that are calling the fights. They are all paid for lackeys. Lucas loses the fight to Garcia and he is overrated. Its a crock of shit and the logic comes in the shape of a pretzel.

No kidding. Not to mention plenty of people on here had a pretty good handle on what Alvarez was bringing to the fight, and he didn't let anyone down. If Floyd hadn't fought him now Alvarez would've kept looking good and have people screaming that Mayweather was ducking him. The same people who will now say he " clearly shouldn't have been there".

That's a good point, and we are pretty shitty as fans.

We demand that an athlete take the biggest risk every time, even if it means smaller reward, and then me crucify people when they fail.

Canelo lost by a wide margin, but I say he is an impressive, strong young guy with serious skills, and I say he beats the shit out of anyone else at that weight.

[ruthless rocco]

i think canelo would do a lot better in a rematch.
i'd like to see it.


and no, i'm not just saying that to be an ass.

Canelo was the best fight available for PBF and I have no issue with him being in the ring. That being said the fight went about as I though except Canelo's strategy. Barring a Pernell Whitakeresque fighter suddenly appearing on the WW-MW scene PBF opponents need to stop trying to out box him. He may get old one night but until then they should watch the first half of the Cotto and DLH fights along with the first Jose Luis Castillo fight and try to drag PBF into a brawl.
