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.

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.

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.
