    No prediction for me on this one. Both fighters are talented and I see this as a very competitive 50/50 match-up.
    I like both fighters so, may the best man win.

    Great fight, I think Julian is all around the better fighter,
    and Trout exposed some things with Jermall.

    Julian UD.

    Yeah, I hear you on that but Canelo's wanna be daddy Oscar is too scared to match him in that mix. He should have went there instead of reaching all the way across the pond for a cherry.

    Yes I agree,for the record I'm not a Canelo hater and as a boxer I love watching him but I don't like the way Oscars been taking him,one of the reasons for the hate from folk was his owning the lineal WBC belt at 160 but only wanting fights at 155 to avoid the monster in the division that is GGG.Canelo then gives up the belt and moves down to 154 which I had no problems as he was actually in a division but then instead of being that mix again with Lara,Williams,Andrade,Charlos ect Oscar sneakily finds the perfect opponent for Canelo and guess what he owns a belt which in winning could make him a mandatory for Saunders,clever stuff by Oscar but no doubt he's been steered away from those top guys and most likely it will stay that way as he can't afford a loss with the mega fight with GGG on the horizon,quite frankly I don't care who Canelos next opponents are as long as they are gearing him up for Golovkin,I guess we'll know the answer to that come Canelos next fight which is already being talked about at 154?

    Yeah, I am not really a Canelo hater myself because I know that it's Oscar behind the moves being made. I think that Canelo will fight anyone but Oscar is saying trust me, trust me and got the man looking bad in the publics eye. I just wanna see Canelo in with some serious talent as well as the same for GGG.

    Yes exactly the way I see it,there's no way you can call Canelo a coward after seeing the way he fights,actually Kellerman said the same thing about Oscar throwing his man under a bus,all the s*** Canelo has had to put up with on the back of Oscars decisions.

    Yeah same applies for GGG,we all want to see him fight the ne t best in his division,I don't think it's for a lack of trying though,I've long been critical of K2 but instead of just going to purse bids at 75/25 for some reason Loeffler has been trying to negotiate and it seems that it's not gonna happen so on the face of it I'm not sure what more K2 can do save doing what Paulie M said about drugging GGGs opponents and dragging em into the ring Lola?

    Williams looks like the talented one, both Charlos hit hard and are tall, rangy fighters, but both looked limited to me and seemed lost, one against a past his prime Trout and the other was getting outboxed by a puncher. Eitherways, we'll see what both Charlo and Williams are made of and see if they are real threats or wannabes. Canelo and Lara are still better and leagues above the rest 154lbers.
