****ing shameful, he wont fight a contender but give him a washed up shell of a fighter in Mayorga and he's all over that. I'm really starting to not like this kid, and GBP handling of him and his precious 0 is ridiculous. Can't even believe any major sanctioning body would green light a title fight like this. Mayorga has done nothing but get knocked out for years but gets a title shot pathetic.
What a waste of a fight date. Mayorga is not a great fighter or even good at this point. Why not fight Lara if they want an opponent. This seems made up. I don't think this fight is going to happen. Mayorga is just not quality enough for a title defense. Canelo needs a current top fighter to fight.
I agree with just about all this, but the hate should be directed at the responsible party, and that's GBP. Canelo is just a kid making millions for his fight, and getting the celebrity treatment at this point. It'll probably be years until he takes the reign on his career.
calm down kids. word is that it's not Mayorga. expect an announcement tomorrow. possibly Kirkland or Lara :conf
