    Same here, I'm still mulling over whether I want to switch from Alvarez to Bute or not.

    I'll bet $10 that Garcia beats Thurman.

    A few movie suggestions, The BFG which I was expecting to be awful was far better than I thought it would be, in fact it was quite a beautiful film, I highly recommend it, especially to posters with kids, it was a real throwback, it felt like an old early Disney film come to life. Spielberg isn't the director he once was, but he's still capable of coming close occasionally.

    Arrival from Denis Villanueve, who at this point is probably one of my top 3 new directors, is at times brilliant, its less a sci-fi film, and more a Terrence Malick type film, a meditation on time and the repetitive nature of our lives and of history, its smart although a bit slow and brooding, but thankfully I really like slow and brooding. Its definitely worth a look for heady sci-fi fans.

    Hacksaw Ridge was astonishing, probably the most moving film I've seen all year, I was riveted from start to finish, ironic that a Hollywood "conservative" made one of the most beautifully liberal films I've seen in years, its a pity the left seem to want to go in the opposite direction lately and cynically push for conflict with Russia to earn political brownie points over Trump. Back to the film, Garfield is a revelation, Teresa Palmer is stunning as his wife, Vince is damn good, and underrated in his performance, the film should win Best Picture and Mel should definitely take Best Director. But I fully expect for it to be spitefully robbed, and for obvious reasons..... as usual.

    Floyd is imo a better version of Whitaker, although I have very high praises for Pea. Pea is one of a handful of fighters who could beat Chavez the way he did.

    Floyd is just a better fighter, that's all.

    So Floyd, any weight class, but there would be no knockouts. 8-4, 7-5 type matchup.
