Saul Canelo vs Rocky Fielding

[Memphis]

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.

Canelo has been potshotted about by Lara and Mayweather easily enough. This was Calzaghe/Manfredo. Calzaghe would whip Manfredo today too.

[Fenster]

Canelo is easy to beat, as Floyd showed. The problem with these boxers is the low IQ. What else explains Rocky fighting the exact same way he's fought his entire life? Simple long range jab, potshot, spin and move off the ropes, twinkle toes, no trading on the inside. They never learn.

Fielding didn’t want to beat canelo the same way Floyd did because he wouldn’t have gotten credit for originality. He wants to make a fortune betting on himself in his next big fight instead, this is all part of the plan. He is going to move up to 175 and lure Andre Ward out of retirement late next year. Then we will see a jab that is like a Holmes, hagler, hearns hybrid.
