Canelo-Saunders: Predictions, Discussions, RBR

Plant is Facing Canelo in September...




REED

 

Let's hope. Although I don't give him much chance.

 

Benavidez Has Certainly Done Himself NO Favors, But Who's the BEST Super Middle in the World NOT Named Canelo, Currently, in YOUR Opinion???...

Who Gives Canelo a BETTER Fight @ '68???...Smith???...Saunders???...Plant???...Or Benavidez???...

Everyone KNOWS the Answer, Some are Just Reluctant to ADMIT It...





REED

 

That's basically the same as asking for a catchweight, something Canelo conceded to for his fights with Mayweather and Cotto.

 

REED Will Pick Canelo Also...

But Like Saunders, Plant Will Present a TACTICAL Obstacle; Only He's Taller, Longer and Faster Than Saunders...




REED

 

Nah, it's DIFFERENT...

AFTER the Weigh In Friday, Kovalev Had to Weigh In AGAIN Saturday Morning, to Fulfill the Terms of the Rehydration Clause...

Would YOU Rather Begin the Rehydration Process Immediately After the Friday Afternoon Weigh In OR 10-12 Hours Before FIGHTING Saturday Night???...

Neither Floyd Nor Cotto Made Canelo Do THAT...






REED

 

I rate Benavidez and Plant basically the same. Neither one is definitively more impressive or accomplished than the other IMO.

Before Saturday, I would've given Benavidez as much of a chance of outhustling Canelo as I would Saunders of outslicking him.

Canelo-Benavidez would be a desirable fight no question, but I don't see Benavidez standing out as some kind of stylistic nightmare or definitive foil for Canelo.

 

Breaking somebodys eyesocket is more or less a freak injury, a 1 in 100 fight injury at best/worst. Yes Canelo mightve sparked him out anyway but there was no prior sign of it and we'll never know.

 

Could Spence be a future fight for Canelo?

 

Probably not. Not if he doesn't want a body on his record, anyway.

 

Yikes. What a fucking horrible sport we follow

 

Seems highly, highly, highly unlikely.

Canelo is staying at 168, and Spence is in his 30s and still hasn't left welterweight.

154 would be the max for Spence. He doesn't have the frame to compete at 160, let alone 68.

Canelo-Spence is a huge mismatch if EJ moved up. It'd be nothing more than a money grab for Spence, cause it would surely be the last fight of his career.

Spence doesn't have the mobility to avoid Canelo's offense, and Spence is a guy who relies on being physically stronger than his opponents - that advantage obviously goes out the window if he faced Canelo.

EJ would just be badly outgunned, and thats okay, it's not a slight against Spence. He's a welterweight.

 

In other words it's quite possible.

 

Ya never know.

It would probably draw the biggest crowd in the history of Cowboys stadium, and if assuming it was on Fox PPV, I think it would easily break 1 mil in buys.

So I guess it's always possible.

 

I think what's more likely is the possibility of Spence vs Ortiz. I don't think Spence is in a rush to fight Ennis.

 

Ennis has great eyes for a defensive specialist. His positioning is very reminiscent of old school guys like Loughran IMO. Excellent little talent.

 

If Bud and Spence are gonna get Ennis, the time would be NOW!

He's gonna be able to fuck both of them up by 2022.

 

Stylistically, I prefer Ortiz. He's more fun IMO, and with the right guidance, he can be a very effective aggressive fighter IMO. That power isn't gonna be put to waste by any proper trainer, but it also shouldn't be the only thing they look at. Teo being a top example of a guy who's great technically, but also has that power as an aside.

Ennis really looks like he develop into a beast. He puts Haney to shame.

 

Fuck Haney. One of the most unlikable little cunts in the sport.

 

Nando Vargas is roasting BJS on social media. Saying he pulled a heart muscle .

 

Even though I trashed Saunders for quitting on Saturday, I (kinda) retract on it. Sure it would have been nice to see Saunders try to fight off Canelo at least for a short while after the injury instead of basically quitting right away, but this is what only a small, select breed of fighters would have done. Its unreasonable to expect this to be the default' case. Margarita did vs Pac and it not only basically ruined his career but also half of his vision. Vargas, iirc, never had to fight through this kind of injury, so even in his case we cannot guarantee he would have continued

 

Didn't Oscar fracture his orbital in the second-to-last round of their fight?

 

I don't remember hearing about it at the time but I did a Google search and some sources (of questionable merit I should say) claim it was the case

 

A broken face is dangerous and can be life threatening.

 

Let's hope so.

Vargas is right but he'd have lost to Canelo too.

Also roiding your balls off to fight a former 135lbr in your own division is kind of quit.

Like I said before you cannot take these cunts anywhere. They have no regard for boundaries and regard themselves as these fucking "free spirits" who are not to be bound by anybodies rules or law.

I'm glad he got smashed. Little fat headed twat.



EDIT: Note both the Fury brothers staying right out of it. Fury knows the game. I don't know what he sees in that little shit Saunders.

 

There was no reason for the security guard to act this aggressively toward an old man. Really out of step imo. When I worked as a bartender or security guard, I always hated those kind of meatheads. Would always turned confrontational situations into pure mayhem when a bit of people skills would defuse them 99% of the time.
