Remember how easily Floyd Mayweather beat Canelo?

Wait, tell me again. What happened over 12 rounds?

Who won again?

 

Both learned a lot that night. Floyd learned two big lessons from Canelo that night. How to feint and how to fight off the ropes.

 

Sorry dude but I don't agree with any of that. C'mon.

 

You've gotta be playin bruh

 

Canelo didn't teach Floyd anything FFS...

 

I suggest you review the footage because what I'm telling you is very clearly seen. Count the amount of feints that Canelo caused Floyd to bite on. There were about 20 feint / flinches in the first 3 rounds alone. In round 10, Canelo absolutely schooled Floyd on how to fight off the ropes. First Canelo going back to the ropes and picking off shots, making Floyd miss, so much so that Floyd backed away, then Floyd tried to copy what Canelo did and went back to the ropes, himself, then Floyd got hit with a 12 punch combo. I'm not making this up.

And here's what I'm getting at. You don't call something a master class when these kinds of things happen to you. The first 6 rounds were extremely close. For something to be a master class, you pretty much have to dominate every round. That did not happen. Floyd put in an impressive performance, but it was far from a master class start to finish. He struggled a lot early on, Canelo had his moments. And frankly if you think that's a master class you don't know what a master class is. Floyd literally won by out jabbing Canelo. Power punches were very even, and Canelo landed a good amount of body shots and shots in between the guard.

 

The only thing Floyd learned is that Canelo has more pulling power with the 'judges' than he expected.

--

"The problem with that argument is that Ross' scorecard reflected a draw after 12 rounds of boxing, despite the fact that Mayweather landed 46 percent of his punches to just 22 percent for Alvarez.

The bottom line is that if she isn't coming off as being incompetent, Ross is certainly being perceived as corrupt.

Fortunately, her decision wasn't enough to unjustly damage Mayweather's legacy on Saturday night. Still, her controversial ruling no doubt hurt boxing and will bring down the sport even further if she isn't punished for it."

 

If you go back and study the footage, you'll see it. You have your head in the sand. You don't want to go back and rewatch because you want to continue to live in la la land. Canelo did a lot to Floyd that people continue to ignore because they want to perpetuate the myth that Floyd dominated. You probably believe that Canelo doesn't have any fans but yet 73,000+ rowdy Mexicans showed up in Texas over the weekend. You probably expected Saunders to easily outbox Canelo because Canelo's nothing special, then were shocked that Canelo shattered Saunders face and sent him to the hospital.

 

Didn't read.

Lafi - who won again?

 

first of all regarding the feints, it's not that hard to get Mayweather to react. He's a very high reflex type of fighter. If he feels he's in a position to get hit he gets his head the hell out of the way. Canelo couldn't really capitalize on the feints. Second, you dismiss Mayweather's performance but in the next sentence say it was Canelo that put on a masterclass. I'm sorry but that is not cool. Alvarez was lucky to win 1 round.

 

You're wasting your time bruss. Just ignore ol boy.

He regurgitates the same nonsense over and over, none of which actually makes sense. At this point, I'm almost convinced he's a rebirth of MVC! or eltirado.

 

Was an unbelievable performance. Seems almost impossible.

 

Thanks for the heads up.

 

No he wasn't green, kind of...pink. Not full on red like he is today.

He started at 14 ffs that's why he had so many fights when he fought Floyd. But Canelo had been in the ring with some pretty good boxers:
Matthew Hatton, Kermit Citron, Lovemore NDou, Josesito Lopez, Austin Trout, and Carlos Baldomir. Lots of experience in that group. So there's no excuse for him. Floyd did a number on him, and it was good for Canelo because he then realized he couldn't just run over people; he had to truly dedicate himself to boxing, which is what he's doing now.

Dude sleeps in silk pajamas and still does 5AM roadwork. Respect the man.

 

I do find it funny how often boxing "experts" will throw around phrases like 'styles make fights' and talk about how alot of the greats picked up losses or found their prime as they moved up to a weight that suited them better... but then will also act like a fighter just has to beat someone who goes on to achieve good things and their legacy is set for life
