    Ive noticed Shadow has been quiet of late, I wonder why? Maybe because he fears that Charlo just might do a Bivol on Canelo. He went into hiding after the Bivol thrashing lol

    The name calling is played out, come on you have to respect the fighter in Canelo by some standard, he has proved a lot over the years.

    Looking forward to this now as there's nothing going on lately, hoping for a good night of boxing as both guys are great & explosive, hope it's a good exciting match tomorrow.

    That was the judges doing,

    And it's funny as i happened to watch their second fight today again with no commentary this time, Canelo did very well in that fight, proved many wrong while going up a level, you have to respect it.

    Aww C'mon you know very well he was never going to lose a decision. He was the cash cow after Floyd. I have to respect a fighter first before I root for him. Canelo lost x2 to GGG, lost to Lara, should have at least had a draw against Trout. He popped dirty for PED's basically it was swept under the carpet. He got SCHOOLED by Bivol yet look how close the Vegas judges made it? Even they couldn't give him a draw there.
    If he fight Bivol again Beterbiev & Benividez beats all 3 legitimally I might just start respecting him. I said the same thing about Floyd If he fought & legitimately beat Margarito I'd respect him & call him Champ. LOL We saw what happened lol

    That would really burst the bubble for the supposed King of Boxing wouldn't it lol Funny. That Akbhar guy got Donald Curry a crown & ermine cape & claimed he was King of Boxing. Him & Marvin Hagler got joint fighter of the year that year I believe. Dave Gorman said " I hope Donald doesn't start falling for that spiel " That was when Don seemed to lose a step It was Akhbar who insisted he fought Honeyghan even though he was nowhere near 100%

    The only time I ever rooted for Canelo is when he fought Mayweather.

    I'd consider myself a Canelo fan but I'm rooting for Charlo this time. I respect the risk he's taking and welcome the feat. Boxing could use a new star

    LOL, I would take that risk and get a hell of a beating from canelo for such amount of money.

    Imho there nothing to respect here. He's getting a beating for a shitton of money, like any of us would do as well. Nothing special there.
