Anyone know if the fight is on DSTV or am I watching it on dailymotion with Mexican commentary? :)
I’m not winning on Google or the DSTV guide.

DSTV usually screens Canelo's fights. But why? We know this is a Fake fight...

Should be entertaining tho, but BJS aint winning unless he does a Gypsy ala snatch and not follow the script.

But ja, Lets be honest, Canelo hasnt had a real fight since the GGG 1, arguably GGG 2.

BEEF! :P

Thanks again, this app/service is very cool. Main feature I really liked was that I didn’t need to get up at 4am to watch the fights. You can just pause the live feed and rewind to the start without waiting for the “broadcast” to end first. Very useful.
Pity they don’t cover all the fighters but for R30/month and cancel anytime it’s useful enough.

Dont get me wrong, canelo is good, but hes not as good as ppl say he is.

Given a level playing field, there are lots of guys that will woop him, but yeah... boxing....you know.

And of course, the Beef... :p

Canelo is pretty damn good. He chooses his fights for sure
But the first GGG fight was a maybe draw with likely going to GGG. The second fight he smashed GGG.

He looked very strong against Saunders on the weekend. He seems very comfortable at this weight, is strong as hell, very good technically and has improved his cardio significantly.
I dont see anyone beating him for a good few years
 
I don’t feel like he had even got into the flow of things when he caught Saunders but he was throwing with intention that’s for sure.
He knew that he had connected properly and that the fight was over. The calls for the crowd support were the cherry on the cake for me.

Saunders was pretty cocky but it definitely felt like Canelo was finding more of a groove from mid round 6 or so.
I didnt feel Saunders was ever going to knock him out and he was definitely losing on points.
Saunders was better at countering than I expected, but Canelo walked him down alot.

That was such a flush knock, Canelo must have seen / felt that he had done serious damage. It was the right call to not come back out

Get your eyes checked sir. Dont believe the hype.

Canelo has gotten better, but hes in no ways as good as ppl make him out to be. Hes also not fought anyone worth mentioning since GGG. He couldnt even KO a drained Danny Jacobs.

Hes also a drug cheat and a catchweight Diva. Check the facts before you follow the hype.

Of course he looked good against Saunders... if you think Saunders was coming to win, or actually had a chance then you are just being dishonest.

Saunders was selling a fight, thats how it works in boxing. If there aint anything to bet on then there aint no money to be made. Also hes known to take the piss and be a character

Styles make fights, and hes tailor made for canelo. A counterpuncher beats a boxer. Basics. And of course... hes not really that good.

Everyone thats fought canelo since GGG has just showed up to get a paycheck

What exactly am I getting my eyes checked for? You dont think Canelo won the second GGG fight?
He looked way better than GGG the second fight and walked him down the entire time.

You dont think Smith is worth mentioning? You think Saunders is just a bum fighter?
He is beating title belt holders and making it look easy, not sure what else you want the guy to do. He is already saying he will fight Plant next to unify. Not really his fault if you think all the belt holders are useless.

Instead of "believing the hype" why not look at his record and the fact that he is likely to hold all the belts in his division before the end of the year. Is that hype or is that a fact?

Also interested to know who would "whoop" him in super middleweight?
He is dominating the division
 
If You believe the 118 - 113 in the 1st fight? then get your eyes checked and also realise that something aint right. All canelo did in that fight was run from GGG.

Ja ok. he got the descion in the 2nd fight... doesnt mean he won the fight. I called it a draw. but Dominated? and he got an SD ? and the other 2 cards were 115 - 113? I dunno hey? last time i checked that means 5 - 7.... Dominated? lol.

Go check how many of canelos fights were catchweights...

What? this guy is too small to fight at 160, so he invents his own 155 division, drains 160 pounders to 155 and then we are supposed to be amazed that hes dominating? C'mon.

Then the same guy thats too small for 160, KOs a the best guy (ok he was old, but watch the fight. You telling me the best jabber at 174 cant land a jab all fight.) at 175 after admitting to having a rehydration clause in the deal. How many other fights of his had rehydration clauses? Against Jacobs they didnt want to admit it at 1st but afterwards had to come clean about it... that **** is straight dangerous. But hey... canelo is dominating...
Now hes suddently gaining 20lbs after weigh ins ? the same guy that was too small for 160....

As for Smith... you rated him? theres absolutely no one on his CV.

BJS.... is either a bum or he was sucking on purpose... you mean to tell me he couldnt land a decent left on canelo? Belts mean ****. His jabs landing on canelos gloves all night. Not a single combo... he was walking into the uppercut all night. He pulled most of his punches. He gave canelo free shots. He came to get his money... thats all
Watch the fight again. without the commentary team sucking canelo off all night.

Like really watch canelo and tell me how hes a great boxer... he doesnt have a jab worth anything... all he has is a shovel hook that looks impressive to the commentators but hits the guard most of the time... Hes seriously a juiced up weight bully.

Canelo is entertainment.... his job is to keep the mexicans in the states happy so they forget about their crappy lives.

And hey... if the division is ****... that doesnt make him great... hes just B level fighter beating C and D level fighters... but when he meets real guys... like GGG, he needs to get more beef so he can get a SD.

You believe the beef? dont tell me you believe that shizz... and dont tell me you are naive enough to believe that that was the only time. So many holes in this guys story once you look closer... but hey... believe what you are being told... its all good.

Next you gonna tell me that GGG ducked Derevyanchenko?
