Canelo vs Chavez is set for may 6

Agreed but remove Wilder Wawzyrk please, that's not a good fight at all.

Even the Wilder fans here admit that, they call it a tune-up after a bad injury.

 

Good fight for Boxing. We can argue it's relevance but to anyone watching these guys since they started out the curiosity factor is off the charts.

 

165?? No, that's ****ing ridiculous. Where do you people even GET this stuff? This is what's killing boxing, the constant wild speculation by the fandom about every little niggling detail, and usually everybody is WAY off.

In your case, by eight freaking ounces. Do you realize that would be enough marijuana to get seven people arrested (just barely, if distributed evenly)???

 

this should do better than 97k

 

I predict ninety-seven thousand, and eight ounces.

 

Easiest fight date to predict in history- there was zero chance it'd be any weekend but Cinco de Mayo.

 

Okay I guess.

It should actually be a good, if unimportant, fight. If Canelo fights GGG afterwards then I'm fine with this.

 

True but they missed the opportunity to do it up right.

The most thoroughly Mexican way to go about it would have been to just have it on actual Cinco, the night before, on Friday, headlining a Boxeo Telemundo card. But noooo, they had to chase the almighty gringo PPV dollars. Bunch of despicable sellouts.

 

Canelo tko 8 Jcc jr

 

Don't forget, they're only the gringo's PPV dollars until they're in Chavez and Canelo's bank accounts lol

 

With Jr's style and chin (below 175 anyway), I think this will be a fairly entertaining 12 round fight. It won't do crazy numbers or be remembered as a classic - but it'll be worth watching.

 

You are getting good at this lol

 

This should be a good fight, and could turn out to be a fight of this year. Folks can say what they want about Canelo, but dude resume looks great.

 

Yeah. I just have always thought it would be hilarious if two of the sport's biggest earners mutually decided to just troll everybody and meet for peanuts in a gym somewhere on a low-viewership channel with no/minimal promotion or forewarning (ie not even appearing on Boxrec until the day of). Like, "meh, we've got millions, we can afford to just **** with people for a lark." - although it would obviously have to be non-title since otherwise you'd have to disclose it well in advance in fairness to other ranked contenders etc., and payment of sanctioning fees is reported as public record.

Like picture some random Sunday afternoon, there happen to be that weirdo 2% of boxing nerds that are lurking on the stream websites to see what replays are on, and suddenly they're like "oh word! Calzaghe vs. Kessler, haven't seen that in a decade!" only to moments later be all "wait, something isn't right, they're both OLD-looking. Those aren't the same trunks either of them wore that night. Wtf, is this a rematch... happening LIVE?? B-b-b-but they're both retired! Whaaaaaaa-" and then frantically send out dozens of tweets and messages to all their incredulous friends.

 

Stop overrating this fight
