    I purchased it, too, along with tonight's Canelo card; I watched only the Garcia fight and skimmed the others.

    Honestly, I believed if anyone were going to be upset last night, it would be Teo, but he showed boxing ability I never thought he had and showed the level of Catterall in how easily he handled Barbosa.

    God knows how much Turki spent shutting down Times Square, but I would hazard a guess it would be at least 10 times the cost of renting out MSG—all for a gimmick that failed worse than Whyke Povetkin 1 in Eddie's back garden.

    I was disappointed in Garcia, as I expected him to deal with Rolly in under six rounds, but one thing is for sure: Romero is taking everything and anything. He had muscles upon muscles, and last night, he totally neutralised King Ryan simply by extending his arm and feinting.

    That show must be somewhere between 20 and 50 million in the hole, especially if Garcia managed to fleece the Saudis for a $20 million purse.

    That performance from Garcia was an off egg night - power and energy certainly significantly down from his previous fight.

    100 %, because Rolly was only brought in to make Garcia look good; because we all saw against Tank and Pitbull, he was made to walk into Garcia's left hook.
