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

[Kirkland Laing]

Back acne is de rigeur for a lot of fighters these days it seems. I'm guessing no VADA testing of this card.

[Ron Swanson]

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 .

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

I've begrudgingly come around to Canelo at middle as size on fight night is obvious. Then there's the trinket from Cotto who 'beat the man' yadda yadda. But you simply cannot take a title won with CW conditions serious imo. Hell some titles you cannot take serious at all . Fact is the fight is here though and a win changes everything for Canelo and gets him that respect. I honestly think Golovkin looked not so stellar vs Jacobs but respect to Jacobs and seriously needs to up his output next week. It's a good fight and I'll def be front row but not the be all to end all for sport at least to me. Should Canelo pull it off the belts splinter and I in no way see him facing Jermall Charlo or even Derevyanchenko. Sanders-Monroe jr winner..yeh.

What makes this card so great are each fight has it's own anticipated story and winners of all three very much have a future as yet more big matches vs one another. Gonzalez looks to right a 'wrong' and reset his shine. Inoue in a very anticipated Stateside debut and mass exposure that comes with and Cuadras v Estrada is a headliner in itself. Fly and super fly get very little stage to begin with and this deserves it.

I like the fight. I just don't like the notion it is the best vs the best. GGG has work to do with Jacobs to prove who is best between those two and Canelo has done absolutely nothing to prove he is the best at MW.

But tonights card is off to a blistering start as we knew it would be. And like you said no matter the outcomes it leads to other great fights.

[Spicoli]

Estrada huge 7th, good 5th but Cuadras did great work early rounds. Pretty good fight!

[Fenster]

Through 6 rounds.

HBO 5-1 Cua

SKY 5-1 Est

Fenster - we'll call it 3-3

[Kirkland Laing]

Cuadras looked fucked a couple of rounds ago but he's come back a bit. Did HBO really give him five out of the first six rounds?

[Fenster]

Estrada has looked the most likely to score a ko/kd, didn't even go for the finish though. Savvy.

[Spicoli]

Huge shot while HBO is busy making Cuadras into SRL. Estrada behind but he's been touching him hard throughout and steady pressure. Helluva scrap

[Spicoli]

5-6 Cuadras but prob even on points. Estrada needs to go all out.

[Alpha]

This is an awesome fight.

[Fenster]

I have Estrada well in front with the kd (and Darren Barker in my ears).

[Alpha]

I've got Estrada sneaking this.

[Spicoli]

Estrada confident methodical as shat and just swats Cuadras off the ropes. One grew stronger one not so much. That KD is huge could be. Have 114-113 Estrada

if these two could rematch I'd greatly appreciate it

[Fenster]

Give me a draw baby.

Darren Barker thinks anuone that scord it for Cua can't score. Bit harsh

[Spicoli]

Well shit man. Ruh roh...did Buffer blow it

[Alpha]

Estrada confident methodical as shat and just swats Cuadras off the ropes. One grew stronger one not so much. That KD is huge could be. Have 114-113 Estrada

if these two could rematch I'd greatly appreciate it

I agree. That's how I had it. Caudras gets it 114-113.
