    Number 1 Rigo moved up 2 divisions to fight number 1 Loma and got smoked. I was super hyped for that fight, too!

    Number 1(?) Brook moved up 2 divisions and got destroyed by GGG. We love saying that Special K gave a very valiant effort, which he did, but a lot of y’all gloss over the fact that the fight was only four rounds. I’m still butthurt with whoever let this fight happen.

    Number 1 Charlo moved up 2 divisions and got the lion taken out of him easily by Cinnabunz.

    Bud is one of my favorite fighters but come on, why are some of y’all so wet for this one? I’ve heard some people say that Bud’s stamina will make him competitive, but did y’all not see the Charlo fight? Canelo’s tank might be an issue when he’s taking shots from dudes his size, but Charlo landed some bombs on him and he barely even reacted. No way Bud is hitting harder than Charlo.

    On paper, Canelo should ko Bud, but his older style will probably lead to another Charlo type fight of just walking down and landing one or two shots and rinse and repeat.

    What say y’all?
