Not that anyone was probably all that pumped in thw first but the Orozco-Ortiz co feature to Linares-Luke Campbell was canceled because Orozco came in 7 pounds overweight so tomorrow's HBO card is just the Canelo-GGG replay and Linares-Campbell Orozco needs to form a triple threat of recent career wasters with Frankie Gomez and Gervonta Davis (who apart from looking like rear end in the MayMac co-main could be facing assault chargers) https://twitter.com/danrafaelespn/status/911329783400644608 http://www.boxingscene.com/gervonta-davis-facing-first-degree-aggravated-assault-charge--120740 The SituAsian fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Sep 23, 2017 |

parker's got a nice jab. had him winning that one purely on jabs to the body. and the fact that hughie did absolutely nothing.

parker seems to have adjusted and is now charging in and ripping the body which is more effective. glad i didn't pay for this though god drat. hughie needs to actually start fighting.

Linares-Campbell turning out nice after it looked like Luke was going to get worked. Also Danny Jacobs signed a deal with Eddie Hearn-unknown if he's left Haymon-and has multi-fight deal with HBO https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=760311 EDIT: Linares wins a split, which I agree with. Apparently one of the judges gave a 10-10 round since the card that went for Campbell was 115-113 and he was knocked down. The SituAsian fucked around with this message at 05:13 on Sep 24, 2017 |

Dorticos looked sharp and so far so good for the WBSS in terms of delivering. Kudryashov also made a pretty funny face while on the canvas https://twitter.com/redeyeLsmoker/status/911794966019629056

i haven't watched canelo / ggg since it happened, and i don't know who 'the modern martial artist' is, but i just watched a breakdown of some of the things that happened during the fight and it's incredible. i've really, really gotta watch that fight again. they are both monsters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R34AnGmQ6vo

yeah i didn't pick up on a lot of the adjustments either guy made / attempted to make as i was to busy screaming at the television and arguing with a canelo fan. i don't think i gave canelo enough credit.

Rewatching I still think it's 7-5 or 8-4 Golovkin. You'd have to stretch it to give the draw, I don't think anybody would have complained had GGG been given the nod.

my first watch i had it 10-2 ggg (which i still consider a reasonable card), but upon rewatch this morning 8-4. 7-5 ggg if you gave canelo every round he was remotely competitive in. you have to see poo poo that isn't there to score a draw, and a canelo win is out of the question in my opinion but hey. hopefully canelo goes for the rematch, but i've got a sneaking suspicion he doesn't want to do that again. happy to be wrong.

I had it 9-3 with Canelo winning the first three but a few of the last rounds could have went either way and my ggg bias probably influenced me. A draw may have been a reasonable but I don't think that should excuse a 10-2 Canelo win, even if it didn't affect the "reasonable" outcome. Byrd needs to get out of boxing and never come back.

I barely understood what I was looking at, even as I enjoyed it immensely, so I was glad I could nod and say 'I feel like a draw is the right result' and look knowledgeable next to the people I was with who also barely understood what they were looking at. loving amazing fight.

I think my favorite part of that video is how Canelo worked to take away the right and GGG realized it and started faking with it and Canelo's reactions are funny for a punch that doesn't come.

Canelo's movements there were pretty effective at keeping him out of harm's way, but this is probably what led to him getting so exhausted. It burns so much energy to be constantly wound tight like that.

Golovkin is now Ring magazine's pound for pound number 1 and he'll be ESPN's soon as well (Ward was 1 and he was 2 as of 8/31) https://www.ringtv.com/ratings/ EDIT: In case you're all like "gently caress Ring magazine" top 10: Golovkin Crawford Lomachenko Rigondeaux Kovalev Canelo Mikey Inoue Spence Jr. Sor Rungvisai The SituAsian fucked around with this message at 05:58 on Sep 28, 2017 |

I think that's a fair list, I'd also say though that the difference between the first seven or so names on that list is pretty minimal. I'm sure not looking forward to giving my own list for New Years.

Unless GGG or Crawford fight again this year it will probably be a logjam between them and the Loma/Rigo winner with everyone else fairly far behind

I was curious about the PPV performance of Canelo-Golovkin, the numbers came out and the fight did 1.3 million buys. That's far short of the 2 million buy estimates that were floating around, but it's also the best PPV showing Canelo's been a part of since he fought Floyd in 2013. That's good news for the prospects of an immediate rematch; Golovkin's a more lucrative foe than Chavez Jr. was, and there aren't many Chavez Jr.'s around for Canelo to make good money from. Also worth noting is that this was the third-highest boxing gate of all time after Mayweather's fights with Pacquiao and McGregor, another good sign for the rematch coming off. I think between these two, it may be Canelo that benefits more from rematch adjustments. I thought Golovkin won the fight with his aggression and pressure, but I was also surprised by how elusive Canelo proved to be. Alvarez has never been a mover but his upper body movement has improved a lot. His stamina is his biggest weakness, hopefully he'll be addressing that in training. Golovkin needs to start faster in the second fight, but I also think he needs to work on hitting a moving target. Against Jacobs and Canelo he's looked just a moment too late on a lot of his offense. He also has to figure out a way to get to Alvarez' body without eating counters.

if canelo isn't willing to trust his chin will stand up to some of golovkin's best shots or he'll gas again. he used way too much energy avoiding being hit. great for staying alive, not great for winning fights. canelo had to box perfectly to win the rounds he did, and most of them were razor close. he needs to be on the front foot for way longer in the next fight, and i do believe he can do it, but golovkin only needs one.
