    Berlanga isn't ready for Canelo it will be a brutal beatdown down the stretch similar to Mayweather-Gatti.

    A prime Jon Berthnal gives Canelo a tougher fight than Berlanga.

    Which part of this espectáculo de mierda are people looking forward to most - Lara-Swift, Plant-McCumby, or the main event?

    ...tbh, I can see this entire card being a horrible chore to labor through.

    Lara-Swift. Not because I think it'll be a legitimately good fight, but more because of the strange and indecipherable curiosity I have seeing Garcia, of all people, fighting at middleweight in calendar year 2024.

    On a side note, while I think the main event sucks, I'm getting excited at the thought of Berlanga finally beaten to a pulp tomorrow.

    Would you consider prime Jon Bernthal to be The Walking Dead or The Punisher?

    I mean, I can appreciate Lara/Danny, although I think Danny has no chance unless Lara is over the hill and he's 42, it's coming sooner rather than later. I wanna see how Cool Boy looks after the humbling he received. Everything else including the main event..............meh. Although Berlanga is not likable at all and this will be one of those rare times I root for Canelo to punish someone

    Admittedly, I haven't seen much of McCumby. And by that, I mean I've seen nothing. Would you consider him a live dog?

    At least Yildrim was just a quick stay busy fight and one that got a BS mandatory out of the way. This is... ugh, it´s the same BS as in 2016 and 2017. Going after random guys like Khan, Smith and Chavez Jr. instead of fighting the boogeyman.
    I used to be excited for Canelo fights.
