Saul Canelo vs Rocky Fielding

[palmerq]

I know everyone hates alvarez but he can be a joy to watch, he's whack in the guy to the body, shapes up to hook his body again, fools him switches it to an uppercut then resumes body attack. His left hooks to the body are lovely, he switches his attacks so well too. For a guy who was only winning because he was the bigger guy he did pretty good at beating a bigger fellow... and for a git who apparently dodges everyone hes taken on a good few guys who's styles are not good for him,alvarez certainly has some glaring flaws too bit I just find him great to watch even if he isn't the p4p best.

I enjoy watching Alvarez fight. I was on the hate Alvarez bandwagon when he was getting handed everything and he made Caneloweight. But since he's stepped it up and fought GGG and showed some balls, I've really started to like the guy. He has flaws like every fighter but overall he's really well rounded, I just hope he takes on more real challenges like he did with GGG and cement himself as one of the top fighters to come out of Mexico because he has the potential.

WAR CANELO!

I boycotted the fight but decided to see it on You Tube. Not sure what the sit on the ropes with body open strategy was all about.

A tall fighter like that should be on his feet using range. Matador style. You don't let a bull gore you as Canelo is definitely bull like with bullshit fights like this and the lingering effects of Mexican beef.

[Gandalf]

The commentary these days is so poor too. Canelo is a drugs cheat fresh off of two losses and they talk him up as a legend of some kind. Look at the opposition. This was not a meaningful fight. I wish Joe Calzaghe was still around.

[Gandalf]

Calzaghe would have beaten Rocky Fielding in current condition and run rings around Canelo. It would be Pac/Margarito minus conversion to China man.

[Gandalf]

I would strangely like to see George Groves against Canelo. It would be a perfect fight with Groves fresh off a loss. Lemieux is horrible. I never want to see that. Is GGG retired now or what? No sign of life from him.

There's been an awful lot of 'why didn't he just jab' on social media. If only someone had conveyed that message to Fielding before the fight he would have been laughing.

There's also been a lot of pretending that what happened is a new thing. Shock horror, Star attraction takes the path of least resistance and the other guy is more than happy to hand over his title for a proper Christmas pay packet. The one's saying Fielding folded a bit too easily, I'll buy that. He got knocked about a bit but not steam rolled.
