Actually, the announcer said the contracted weight was 155lbs and both fighters came in over 154lbs. Your telling me everyone in the crowd were on their phones checking out fat dans twitter to see who requested 1 extra pound?? And look at the title of the video. I didn't create the title.
So the weight limit was 154 but Angulo weighed in .5lbs heavier and canelo 1lbs heavier So they both came in overweight why the hate for Canelo?
the weight limit was changed at canelos request before the weighin. canelo had to pay angulo 100k. but the crowd didnt know that ****, i was watching live stream and only 1 guy in the comments knew what was going on.
I assumed it was the "White-collar guy" vs "Blue-collar guy" scenario where the fans are rooting for Angulo. Alvarez let a lot of people down with his Mayweather performance, more so than Angulo did with his quitting against Lara (a guy Alvarez has shown no interest in fighting).
1. Angulo has more fans than expected 2. Lots of Mexicans stepped off the Canelo train after his Mayweather loss
Angulo represents the hard core boxing fans the once that will go to the weight in. Canelo still have more casual fans. Fans are not stupid they figured out that the higher weight limit was Canelo's idea.
