Canelo vs Crawford getting closer..... (wink, wink)

[TitoFan]

Televised pre-fight hype in its full splendor. Pretty sure it must’ve brought a tear to many a groupie eye. Gotta hand it to these people. They can take a meritless shit show and turn it into gold. You got the expected celebrities. Ward… Kellerman… others… singing the fight’s praises. “Fight of the Century”…. “The Face of Boxing”…. and other phrases worthy of “oohs” and “aahs.”

That’s the thing about boxing hype. It’s like a snowball rolling downhill. There’s not stopping… and the closer it gets to the bottom of the hill… the bigger it gets. Never mind it started out as a snow-covered pebble. It becomes a virtual avalanche as it rolls along.

Knowledgeable fans decrying the fight get swept aside. Nothing gets in the way of the hype. “Best Fight Ever.” Being compared to Ali-Frazier, Leonard-Hearns, etc, etc. The venue is being lauded as the only possible place big enough to hold such a gargantuan event.

It’s enough to make one vomit.

Good evening, Gents... been a while!

Nice opening round(s) by the time this posts . Mbilli is all action but somehow I think Martinez has the natural sapping type strength down the stretch. Fair to say he has "rehydrated" just fine. Competitive scrap early. Netflix here glitching in and out but doing ok. This Ufc fella they put on the announce reminds me of Ranallo.

Site is mega slow. Mbilli-Martinez fight is a good one. Don't think I'll make the Canelo-Crawford circus... er... fight. We'll see.

Fun fight had Mbilli up by 1 maybe but ruled a draw. There are some fighters you just feel like you've seen exactly where they are going. As fun as Mbilli is I think he's one of those. Straightline 1 gear offense head to chest. But Ward was spot on saying a basic step offs to side opens up more windows on him. He does rush over himself badly. Callum Walsh next up. Looks like he's the TKO poster-boy.

Only saw the last round of Mbilli vs Martinez and that was epic!

Vargas v Walsh on now which is the co-main event.

Can't find the answer, but when was last time Canelo was cut? Walsh and Vargas pretty quiet early.

I remember the dad, Fernando Vargas snr who was a talented, skilled and elite world class boxer. His son will not live up to that height.

Vargas is going for the body and Walsh head hunting.

Max Kellerman has been overhyping thie significant of this event all week.
