Very dissapointing if true when he was rumoured to be fighting either BJS or Smith. This and the Fielding fight is Mayweather like spotpicking.
....only happening if Ms A. Byrd & Don Trella can be judges ....& Oscar can dress up as a Geisha girl.
You serious? Fielding is nowhere near the skill level as Murata and Murata isn't a pushover either. Even as a Murata fan I'm still favoring Canelo to win but Murata won't go down without a fight.
Horrible fight, but understandable considering his last bout was a legacy fight at 175. This and either BJS or Callum Smith for September is how I imagine Canelos 2020 is going to shape up.
I like this fight for some reason even though Murata is stylistically made for Canelo imo. But i hope he gives him hell and if he pulls the upset, it will be my favorite fight of all time.
