So Roach is picking Ginger.

Freddie knows a lot about boxing, but he's wrong on this one. Ginger without his Clenbuterol-laced physique and lots of extra pounds on his frame is going to be easy pickings for GGG. That is....... if GGG learned his lesson and doesn't leave the decision in the corrupt hands of the bought judges. GGG is older now, and I'm sure that's what Team Ginger is banking on. Never has Ginger faced a high-profile fighter both at his peak and at the same size. There's always some f*cking advantage involved. That's the shady part about this dude I can't stomach. I like equal size fighters fighting under equal conditions. That's why I favor re-hydration clauses to be instituted in boxing. If that had been in place years ago, guys like Ginger and JCC Jr would've been nobodies.

Can't wait till 9/15 when GGG rips Ginger a new one.

They need to go back to say day weigh ins. Day before is ridiculous. It isn’t any safer. It’s most likely more dangerous. Then, as you said, Canelo would have had to fight guys his own size throughout his career.

With the experience, precision, and careful planning these guys are used to (and their teams), it's not a stretch to ask them to be ready for same-day weigh-ins. If you can aim for the day before, you can certainly aim for the same day. These guys are professionals. The day before weigh-in just gives you wiggle room to re-hydrate up by as much as 20-25 pounds. How fair is that? All the excuses I've ever heard are just that...... excuses.

I think the real issue with weigh ins the day before is merely that it makes PED use even more rampant. It’s no coincidence that fighters seen to have taken the most advantage in recent memory have in fact been caught using diuretics... If you had comprehensive testing then it wouldn’t have to be such an issue, could even be something fighters negotiate on etc. Some guys naturally can shift weight more than others, obviously more so young guys, but that’s just yet another reason boxing is generally a young mans sport. There can be huge drawbacks to doing so as well, so weighing in the day before, in itself, doesn’t really upset the playing field imo.

Canelo can't catch a break with some.

Canelo will if he beats GGG. He has been pampered and protected for a lot of his career.

Canelo Alvarez to change approach in Gennady Golovkin rematch



Canelo Alvarez believes he needs to be more aggressive to beat Gennady Golovkin in their rematch on September 15. Golovkin and Alvarez clash for a second time in Las Vegas after a controversial draw in their first encounter almost a year ago. Alvarez comes into the contest under pressure to perform after testing positive for Clenbuterol and serving a six-month suspension.

Fight fans were relieved to learn the middleweights had managed to re-schedule the second fight and Alvarez expects to convincingly win the rematch. ‘Whatever it takes, I have to do something different in this fight to win convincingly,’ Canelo told Fighthub. ‘I was in good shape but I needed a little more to throw more punches.’



He added: ‘The first fight showed me what I need to do in order to win this rematch convincingly, even though I [still think] I won the first fight,’ he said. ‘I knew he was a fighter that could take a lot of punches. He can take a lot of punches upstairs. I simply thought to keep fighting my fight.’ The ban forced the cancellation of the original rematch date in May and sparked a furious reaction from Golovkin who accused Alvarez of taking banned substances before their first meeting.

Alvarez has denied he intentionally ingested Clenbuterol, insisting the positive tests were caused by eating contaminated meat in Mexico. The former world champion revealed he no longer eats meat, but will not be making changes to his team despite the controversy. Golovkin vs Alvarez II is tipped to be one of the most exciting fights of the year, with the winner able to call himself the king of the middleweights.
