    Mayweather didn't even need a knock down to win, you are been a drama queen as usual

    Because Chris Eubank Jr brutally KO'd him. You don't want people saying, Canelo couldn't even KO someone a featherfist like Eubank starched, do you?

    Tbh I Really don't care Canelo is still miles ahead of eubank anyways, I have a feeling Canelo is not going to want to take him out early hes going to carry him just to put on a show

    I think that just talks. Recently Canelo gives nothing to anybody, wearing down, knocking down, multiple solid fighters were not their selves after Canelo fights.

    First I've seen of Yildrim. It should be very quick if he tries to stand and fight against Alvarez.

    This is a slightly more favorable showing.

    There is a possibility that he'd just had a bad training camp and took too much damage, because he hasn't shown a bad chin, before or since that fight.

    They were well matched and that was an entertaining fight that I hadn't seen. Thanks for posting. I still think that if Yildrim fights like that he's gonna get ko'd quick. Canelo will walk him into a combo that finishes up with a short, brutal uppercut transforming Yildrim into a Pez dispenser. Something like that. I just think that ginger boy has quicker hands, better combos and hits about 3 times harder than Dirrel did in that fight.

    Win win for both

    I wonder how many will be rushing to bet their house on a Canelo win?
