    I didn't bother watching it.

    Canelo is on a decline and that flat footed approach will be useless against Crawford.

    Turki has not given us Beterbiev v Canelo and that is a great sadness.

    Thank god Inoue is fighting today/tomorrow after those 2 awful cards this weekend. We might see a punch thrown. Added bonus that it doesn’t have Turki’s grubby hands all over it.

    The worst thing about Clenelo not having scored a stoppage win since 2021 is he's been cherrypicking dog trainers, crab fishermen, and chiropractors all that time.

    He's shot to bits, moves like a statue in quicksand, punches like Skye Nicolson with a broken hand and Crawford is bigger than him with a much longer reach and weight wise there will only be a few pounds in it. All Crawford has to do to win is get on his bike

    Money is nothing without power, influence and control.

    The Saudis are wealthy but they don't have the influence you think

    He wasn't taking a blind bit of notice at one point in the Times Square debacle. He was just looking down and stuffing burgers in his mouth like there was no tomorrow.

    taller is one thing I expected
    But I figured Bud would be relatively smaller physique wise.

    why isn’t he fighting at 168lbs ffs
    Should have been doing it & fought Benevidez too!
    Crawford resume is trash compared to Nelo’s.
    Yet he is actually bigger o_O

    Tweeting crap like the below. I know he’s glossing it up but you can tell he doesn’t have a clue about boxing.

    straight up — I’m a Jew. I’m actually an atheist and not a fan of Israel, but that’s kind of like saying “I’m black but identify as white”. I’m a Jew. So when I hear Rothschild conspiracy theory nonsense? lol.

    let me guess some other things you think. Trump won 2020? Covid vaccine contains bill gates computer chips? Something about a pizza parlor? Q? Moon landing faked?

    we ain’t gonna get along. Let’s leave it at that.

    Commentators ruined that fight for me. I couldn't concentrate fully on the second half of the fight because they had me so riled up, due to their blatant Canelo brown-nosing. So I can't really comment on the second half sadly, or say who won which round. I've not got an issue with Canelo or anything like that, I respect him. I'm not even claiming he lost. If I rewatched it and concentrated fully on the second half of the fight without the commentators, I'd be able to give a proper opinion. But I think I would probably end up scoriing it similar to the two judges who scored it close. All I know is, Scull was clearly winning a lot of them rounds in the first half. And that was down to Canelo's inactivity. He was just following him around the ring but not actually doing anything. Yes, it's fine to hate Scull's style, I understand that, but as commentators, you shouldn't let that cloud your judgement on what is actually happening. I guarantee if it was Devin Haney they'd have a different view on it. He was outboxing Canelo clearly in those first few rounds. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Who was the guy who said boxers like Scull should be deducted a point for "not fighting?" That almost made me throw my PC. Seriously, how unprofessional was that?

    Gotta give credit to Danny Jacobs when they brought him in for his take, for being the voice of reason and telling those fools in the nicest possible way what was really going on. I think it surprised them and made them question things slightly. Honestly, rather than Scull, every single one of them should be ashamed at their own performance tonight.

    I’ve read this forum on fight nights for years.

    I signed up as that fight was so bad that I can’t possibly keep that to myself.

    Woeful.

    I’ll be more positive from now on.

    Wow who would have thought the supposed stacked boxing weekend cards that was meant to excite the fans turned out to be a total disaster?

    I seriously hope tomorrows fight with Inoue vs Cardenas and the rest of the fights on that card doesn’t turn out to be another disaster. Don’t let us down Monster.
