Fun matchup. Mucho violence.
Reasonably? No.
Is this same day weigh ins as it would have been in 1982? If so, Canelo fails to make weight or is sufficiently weakened by making weight that he...
Yeah, I remember the Hopkins-Mercado fight. When I saw the result and saw Hopkins got dropped twice and still came away from Ecuador with a draw...

No maybe about it, Richard - it definitely should have been a unification fight. But Zarate should get all the credit as if it were one. He proved...
It certainly is - but I think the OP said three rounds or less. Nonetheless, I’ve watched that one loads of times. Toney showed great urgency...
Kennedy McKinney v Junior Jones, which was on the undercard of Hamed-Kelley, was three rounds and terrific action. EDIT: no, my memory was wrong....
