    Canelo says that he’s okay with staying at 175 and capturing more titles. I would like to see him face Beterbiev next year. Who do you guys favor if the 2 ever do fight?

    Unfortunately, I think AB-Bunn is next on the menu.

    Canelo is moving back down. He simply pulled a Miguel Cotto taking on a damaged goods, washed up fighter.

    Will Beterbiev have to meet a 185lb rehydration weight clause on the morning of the fight? Because Canelo having this is place is the only way this fight happens, in my opinion.

    The way that Gvodzyk was making Beterbiev miss on the inside repeatedly, makes me think that Canelo would slip and dodge all day while countering. I'm not sure that Canelo could take those right hands to the body though, or be able to box with Beterbiev. It's one thing to take Kovalev's pity pat from last night, on the guard, but Beterbiev will be slamming those bombs into Canelo's guard with power. I'd favor Beterbiev.

    You called it right! I thought Kov's jab would be more effective. He never committed to any punches. With as good and powerful a jab Kov has and how many jabs he landed, Canelo should have been busted up. Terrible strategy to just touch Canelo.

    Artur KOs him. Staying in close, with his power and inside skill, is a very bad idea. Canelo doesn't have the legs or appropriate power to combat Artur. His upper body movement will only serve well at the beginning, then Artur would set up his forearm traps, short angled punches, inside positioning, lunging hooks and traps etc.

    And really hurt cinnamon boy.

    I’m a massive Canelo hater but I was impressed last night even though Kovalev look like **** and fought scared.

    Canelo vs Bivol - interesting fight but I favor Bivol.
    Canelo vs AB - AB by death
