    Yes, only Alvarez knows.....................he could be right................

    Void already has a huge advantage, he owns Vegas, it's impossible for him to lose a decision no matter what. His ref will help him if he gets into any trouble. All Void has to do is be standing at the end of the fight, just ask Castillo and Oscar who won the fight but lost a split decision to Void's judges. Don't forget that Ross gave Bradley a decision over Pac, even in a round where Pac landed two punches to Bradley's one!

    i'll go on record now and say I think canelo will weigh in just shy of 155
    he was about 2.5 lbs shy at the 30 day mark than he was against trout, and everything about this fight (and the potential for a rematch) says it is worth paying the fine

    Alvarez' team has said that Floyd wouldn't fight if they didn't accept the 152lb catchweight. They aren't making the weight an issue because that would take away from the legitimacy of the fight....which , in turn, would lower the ceiling for max number of buys they'll get for the PPV.
