Yep. I’m old. :)
Really sad day. Remember the days of Mike Tyson, Julio Cesar Chavez, Evander Holyfield, Meldrick Taylor, Pernell Whitaker on HBO?
I know it’s a pipe dream, but I want to see Jermall get his WBC title shot against Alvarez next.
I’m hoping the WBC enforces Alvarez’ mandatory title defense against Jermall Charlo, but I think we’ll probably get Alvarez vs. Lemieux instead.
Regardless of who you think won the fight, it felt like Jones Jr. and Kellerman were cheeerleading for Alvarez.
I thought there were several Rounds that were hard to score, so I wouldn’t call it a robbery, (I had GGG winning 116-112) but I felt the HBO...
I scored it 8 Rounds to 4 for GGG (116-112), but there were several Rounds that were very close.
GGG will win inside the ring 7 Rounds to 5. Canelo Alvarez will win on the scorecards: 115-113 (Twice) and 120-108.
Because WBA is greedy.
if I could change the result of any one fight, I would change the result of the March 17th, 1990 Chavez-Taylor fight. I’d have Mel survive round...
.....And I heard he wants to shock the world and fight the AJ-Wilder winner!!!!

Alvarez and GGG are negotiating, and I think it’ll happen in September. (I’m still holding out hope that somehow Charlo-GGG happens though)
People on this forum who haven’t seen it: Please check out Roberto Arriaza KO1 Sammy Valentin on YouTube.
There’s a lot of posturing going on from both sides, but odds are it’ll be Alvarez-GGG 2 in September.
