    All of you take note. When lepinthehood and I start talking about an "upset" occurring. Goddammit, listen to us. The last time we did this was when we were predicting (me to the round) that Andy Ruiz was going to stop AJ. Had you all read this exchange, you'd have known what was in store for Ginger Balls tonight.:deal:

    This is the same kind of thing we had with Canelo GGG 1 and 2. You scoring several less rounds to Canelo than he actually won, and you arguing that I'm somehow delusional for seeing it pretty much how the judges saw it. This is no different than where we were going into this and I wouldn't expect anything less of you. But the key to remember is that I obviously know what I'm talking about as I clearly predicted this would happen while you clearly didn't.
    He didn't school Canelo. Canelo gassed and was lethargic in the mid to late rounds due to putting on excess weight to fight at 175 and being on a new diet. This is something I very clearly predicted and expected to happen. And I never really wanted him to go up to 175 again, I knew he was better at 168, this was a big risk to move up to 175 to fight Bivol and it played out pretty much exactly as I thought it would.

    My scoring? I haven't even given a score yet, as I went to a watch party and wasn't scoring it closely. I haven't reviewed the fight yet but I certainly didn't see it as a dominatin by Bivol. I saw it was a close fight early, with Bivol coming on strong in the mid and late rounds. I made it clear that I thought Bivol won, had no problem with the decision whatsoever, and totally would expect you and many others to have it wider than the judges had it given your history with your wider than the judges cards for Canelo GGG 1 and 2. So nothing about this scenario is surprising to me, it's in line with where we were going into this and what I expected to happen.

    If you gave Clenelo PEDvarez more than 3 rounds GTFOH you can't score a fight for ****.

    It's 2:50 in the morning and I'm hungry. Canelitas sounds like a very tasty appetizer at a Mexican restaurant.

    Shadow111, you may be right but, to be fair, he hasn't lost in eight years so there hasn't really been a reason for Alvarez to cry about a decision.

    9 years, so yeah this is a very new experience for him. Losing ain't easy, especially when your so used to winning like Canelo. But at least he didn't cry about it in the ring or make excuses, or claim he won in the ring like Pac against Mayweather, or storm out the ring without giving an interview like GGG.

    Last night puts paid to Canelo ever reigning supreme at 175.

    Bivol and Beterbiev will (have in the case of Bivol) see to that.

    Canelo is now stuck in the wasteland that is 168.

    Shadow is still in here working over time to protect his PED fuelled hero.

    Juiced to the hills and couldn’t win more than 2 rounds.

    It’ll be okay fella.
