Im a pretty casual fan and i think Canelo is going to get the poo poo beat out of him if/when he puts his back on the ropes as he has a habit of doing but I also think he'll probably make it to a decision so who knows what can happen

Jack B Nimble posted:For reasons outside of boxing? Part of it is a generational divide, with the JCC generation having some resentment towards canelo as a result of him being "anointed" at a young age. I'm sure many of you have heard criticism of GGG based upon HBO really pushing him, like he was a created star rather than earning it. Canelo is actually in the same situation.

I also hated that fight, but I blame all three camps. That was just a stupid, awkward infomercial advertised as a fight.

I was going to say whatever else you say about that fight Canelo finally killed JCCJr's career forever which is something we can all appreciate. But I looked it up and of course he's coming back.

I lied my thread is going up tonight even if it's half finished and will have no pictures. CommonShore posted:I wonder if the May-Mac is somehow responsible for the parade of good bookings. Maybe freak show I think that's part of it, I also think just Mayweather and Pacquiao vacating means there's room again for guys to establish themselves as "the best." Regardless it's been a great year for boxing, lots of fantastic matches from start to finish.

^^ We look forward to it (with or without pics), cause your threads are always The Truth.CommonShore posted:I wonder if the May-Mac is somehow responsible for the parade of good bookings. Maybe freak show I dunno, this entire year has been ridiculous, so I think it's just coincidence. A big part of it is honestly is HBO telling Top Rank to gently caress themselves, and then Top Rank having to put up quality matchups (or at the very least marquee fighters like Pac) to get approved for ESPN. This is obviously something that could swing back around like it did last year (gently caress 2016), but this year has been amazing.

Here's what Meltzer says Dave Meltzer WON posted:At this point, the estimate for Mayweather vs. McGregor on PPV is 4.6 million North American buys between PPV and iPPV, so those who bet on the under on the 4.99 million look to be the winners.

imagine how high the numbers for manny vs floyd would've been if, instead of a 7 year build, it had a 4 year one and happened before manny got sparked against marquez and looked like poo poo against bradley

The weigh in already happened? That seems super early.ozymandius1024 posted:^^ We look forward to it (with or without pics), cause your threads are always The Truth. So me and MMM watcha say are just chopped liver? In defense of HBO-naturally coming from me-losing Top Rank has forced them to be a bit creative in their matchup which gives us things like 'Superfly' and whatever comes from it. If they can get their budget on track they may even be able to start working with Haymon again.

do they have to weight in the day of the fight? or can they start packing on a bunch of weight now?

One of the belts is the IBF and they have check weights on the morning of the fight and you can't be 10lbs over e: however don't be surprised if Canelo ignores it and so can't win the IBF

NUKES CURE NORKS posted:do they have to weight in the day of the fight? or can they start packing on a bunch of weight now? Nah they can pack on whatever they want now. They used to do weigh ins on fight day but it got people killed, since so many fighters are doing stuff like cutting water to make weight and their bodies didn't have time to recover. e: Ooops corrected with that belt thing. I was unaware of that. Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Sep 15, 2017 |

Lionel Richie posted:One of the belts is the IBF and they have check weights on the morning of the fight and you can't be 10lbs over Would Canelo ignore it? It wasn't that long ago that dude was fighting at like 154 so I'm not sure his walking around weight would be much over 160. He was light going into the catchweight with JCC jr wasn't he?

He might not, it just wouldn't be a huge surprise if he did. Maybe he wants every advantage he can get, because Golovkin will almost certainly be keeping to it.

For some reason I remember reading about the IBF recently getting rid of the same day weigh in rule, but I can't find any confirmation of that now so maybe I just imagined it.

Also two of the three judges are the very bad Adelaide Byrd and the very shady Dave Moretti so imo the pick has to be Canelo by (crooked) unanimous decision.
