    Much more significant than Chavez / Martinez

    Lopez was being ****ing shifted with the punches, a lot of the shots he was taking looked like the knocked him down through pure force rather than knocking him semi-conscious

    Yeah, I hear you, Canelo was just too big, too strong and hit too hard. He did what he was supposed to do. I don't fault Canelo.:bbb

    No but it was a pretty shitty situation for Josesito to be in, handled it with heart though.

    It was that hook to the liver that was dropping him every time.
    I don't wish any harm on Hosesito and there was a good chance he could have suffered some serious injuries if the fight continued...but there was also a chance that he just might have worn Canelo out. His warrior spirit could have made for for an interesting fight in the later rounds. The sadist in me wanted to see the fight continue and the ref could have let it continue. The moment hosesito was stopped was no worse than many other moments in the preceeding rounds.

    I disagree

    Canelo is a very big 154er, Mayweather is essentially a big LWW/small WW

    When you are going toe to toe and getting into a war with someone who could very easily be 3 weight classes above you (Alvarez) the size differential is a lot more signifigant, Mayweather just moved and boxed, so his actual size advantage was largely negligable

    Canelo just ****ing walked through Josesito and smacked him around, again, not Alvarez fault, but I felt for josesito
