Choco-Srisaket II/Inoue-Nieves/Cuadras-Estrada - Sept 9 Great Card!!!

[Kirkland Laing]

I'll bite. Not only to trash the post prediction, but to say that according to @erics44 the card is shit, basically because they're not lumbering behemoths.

Actually, Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez is one of my current fav fighters. I was happy and proud of local boy McWilliams Arroyo's pretty good showing against him, albeit in a losing effort.

i never said the card was shit did I?

No you didn't. I was giving you shit for saying bigger boxers are better boxers than smaller boxers. I feel that is a totally incorrect blanket statement, but to each his own. I rather enjoy a good boxing match between little guys who know how to box. Of course, I prefer those who can also bang... thus my being a fan of Chocolatito. He beat my local guy recently, but no shame in that as Chocolatito is widely considered (dare I say it.... ) one of the world's top p4p today.

I think he loses again. 115 is a bridge too far for him. He's only come up in weight to chase the big(ger) money fights that are out there but he hasn't got the KO power he had at lower weights and a massive very physical limited skills superflyweight beat him clearly. And this time will go into the fight knowing he can win and set up another big payday for himself. If Choco manages to beat this guy he definitely deserves his place in the pound for pound rankings.


Ooooooh look at that that we're nearly onto page two.

Choco was unlucky to lose last time, the majority thought he won, he landed something like 200 more punches. I was delighted having flagged up the Thai as a serious threat/bet but surprised he got the decision.

If Choco wins he'll stay P4P no.2 behind Loma.

It won't come as a surprise to you to learn that I was steaming drunk when I watched the fight and I'm sure I can remember me thinking Choco lost quite clearly. I can definitely remember posting that 115 was a bridge too far for him after the fight based on what I watched, and I watched it hoping he'd win, but if I watched it again sober I may well think that he did win. I'll be steaming drunk when I watch the rematch too. I reserve the right to get the actual winner wrong and/or misremember who won the next day. I can't find the original thread now.

Excellent card. I thought we had a thread already. Gonzalez rights the injustice done last time. I think he'll fight the same way as last time but he'll start faster. Monster will be all destruction. Estrada and Caudras may steal the show. I think stylistically Caudras is a handful for Estrada, although I see Estrada pulling out a close one.

Man this is just a fat card. Top tier fighters all in spr fly triple header and a couple p4p hopefully headed to a face off. Definite rarity and feels nostalgic for weight range. Also talked an old school bud who just started watching the sport into catching it and stop saying Golovkin Canelo is "only thing" soon .

Looks like I'm going to have to miss this one, I'll need to record it and watch it in the morning

Yeah, I don't understand it. Canelo didn't even prove himself the best at 154 but this is supposed to be the best MW fight? Makes no sense. Canelo will have to be better than he's ever been to compete. Or GGG will need to have slipped a bit.

This card tonight is where it's at
