    I don't mind this fight at all. Both coming off losses. Angulo coming off a tko lost to lara after he gave lara hell while canelo lost to the best fighter in the world today mayweather. Style wise it'll be a great action pack fight which is why gbp don't want to put either lara or Molina cause if this is on ppv, would the fans pay to see canelo vs lara that likely be a stink fest cause of lara style? Or same with canelo vs Molina? How about lara vs Molina rematch in the undercard?

    should be an action fight. better than lara or molina in the mix.

    This would have been a great fight on regular Showtime but as for PPV screw that.

    In terms of a fight though from a purely entertainment point, this will be far more action packed then Canelo-Lara which has borefest written all over it.

    I give Angulo a good chance of pulling off the upset too, unlike Kirkland who is a pure beast and Lara who is a defensive master, Canelo can be hit and lacks the stamina to fight every round so i can see Angulo pulling off the win.

    Lara and Molina may deserve the fight more then Angulo but they'd absolutely stink out the place and make it 12 ery boring fsleep inducing rounds of boxing.

    At least Angulo vs Canelo is guaranteed to be action packed and a possible FOTY so give me this fight any day.

    This one is a sleep-inducer but I'm OK with it as long as there's 2-3 exciting matches between this and the main fight.

    I think that the winner of Lara vs Molina II gets canelo if he win. It would be a unification title the lara (wba) and molina (ibf).

    The only fight for sure in the undercard is omar figueroa vs ricardo "dinamita" alvarez is brother of canelo. I never have seen a fight of this brother of canelo, but i expect a good fight for the fighting style of figueroa.

    That's about right....easy-2-hit fighter with no defense and really slow. Make Saul look good and gets his confidence back. It's the norm in Boxing. I have no problem with this fight. But it better not be a PPV fight.

    I don't like this fight at all. It's a chicken **** fight and Anguelo is just there to play the punching bag. He's got a slim shot but he will again be the victim of too many heavy punches to the head. Quite frankly I think this should be a cash out fight for him. He should take the money and try and open up a business of some sort.

    As long as the card is stacked I have not problem with it being on PPV.

    Guaranteed to be more exciting than Canelo/Floyd!

    The drawback is that it will not do great PPV numbers.

    if the angulo that fought lara shows up, he could give canelo some serious problems. canelo doesn't punch hard enough, move well enough or has good enough stamina to keep up with that kind of pace for 12 rounds
