    LOL, How is it CLEARLY an advantage for Canelo when there is no 2nd weigh in?

    Funny, less than a year ago, Canelo was a chicken that G would knockout with ease. Fast foward to the present and people are posting "if Canelo wins". Yall shook! I don't see Canelo beating G at all! He can try all these little tricks, but at the end of the day, G is a special fighter and will connect with big shots more than once during the fight. That being said, I want Canelo to win, so all G loving hypocrits cry like little grils that lost their dolly! Mind you, I know and understand that not all G fans are crazed and delusional and to them I say, may the best man win! To the delusionals..... I hope G gets slept well by Canelo.

    Technically it is a "unification" bout seeing as Alvarez holds the Lineal and Ring titles..

    Technically, and then technically a unification describes a fight between two fighters who hold different belts under the jurisdiction of different governing bodies.

    I doubt the IBF recognizes the Ring or Lineal titles as unification's.

    Stop playing dumb! First of all, I never said you wrote that, secondly, if you were on this ite for any time prior to the fight being signed, you know damn well many folks said that Canelo was scared and would get knocked out easily. NEXT!!!!

    Alvarez moved up in weight to help him take Golovkin's punches better and he feels that the extra weight will help him punch harder. Oscar is worried about Alvarez making weight Friday...........................he plans to weight 180 plus fight night. Since Alvarez does not have to take a drug test, but Golovkin does.....................

    Crawford picks Golovkin by late round knockout, but said that if it were to go to a decision the Vegas judges would give Alvarez a gift as usual. Alvarez is the house fighter.....................we all know that..................

    Don't get confused by trying to connect things that are not connected.
