Mayweather vs Alvarez

[Tommy Smith]

Is anyone else looking forward to this fight?

It'll be absolutely HUGE.

Probably the highest grossing fight in history and I haven't looked forward to a fight this much since, well, ever.

Gonna be epic and I am counting down the days.

Go Canelo!!!

Can't wait.

I'm a Floyd fan but would have to admit a Canelo victory (as long as it's not via dodgy scorecards) would be exciting.

I am concerned it might turn out to be a snoozer though. Canelo surprised everyone by boxing very cute against Austin Trout. Trout is sort of a jab and move type fighter (like a poor man's Mayweather) and Canelo adopted a similar style to Trout and actually out-slicked the slickster. If he does that against Mayweather I'd expect him to suffer a very boring defeat.

Hopefully as Canelo has a big size advantage here he will be pressing the fight all night and maybe even offer some opportunities for Floyd to throw a few and test his chin.

Theres a chance it could, probably not likely though. Mayweather is bigger than he has ever been, both undefeated fighters, Canelo being a legit mexican will draw huge numbers and having Matthyse vs. Garcia on the under card will ensure a lot of hardcore boxing fans buy this as well.

I'm a huge fan of Canelo and have been for years. I hope he KO's Mayweather.

Matthyse vs. Garcia should be an absolute war.

Im excited.

cannot possibly see it being bigger than Mayweather v De La Hoya

 

[Tommy Smith]

Just a hunch.

You're probably right as it'll be hard to surpass Mayweather vs De La Hoya.

We all know this will be a much better fight; but whether or not the casual boxing fan does is what it depends on.

I'm just so excited because Canelo is the real deal. A super fighter who is sensational to watch,

If he wins then it'll be awesome. But if Floyd wins then he'll have really earned it and congrats to him. This is his "legacy" fight imo given that the Pacquiao fight hasn't happened.

i highly doubt it

Floyd will knock him out

I agree, I think Alvarez is the best fight Floyd could take at the moment (not something you can always say about his opponents), is young but experienced, coming off a win that arguably made him the best at 154lb, and is in reality probably 2-3 weight classes bigger than Floyd, which present its own challenges.

HOWEVER, Alvarez doesn't really have the defining win(s) on his resume yet to compare to an ODLH or Pac. If Floyd wins in convincing style it will be all to easy for people to say that Alvarez wasn't actually the real deal and discredit the win.

So hyped for tomorrow. Cant wait to see Danny Garcias dad when Matthysse knocks his son out.

 

[royce10]

Just watched the weigh-in, which is probably the biggest weigh-in event I've ever seen.

Looking forward to Garcia/Matthysse just as much!

Also Mainevent will be showing this in HD!!

Mayweather may as well enter the ring dressed as a professor, because he's going to give Canelo a boxing lesson.

"I was born ready"

 

[El Diablo]

love big fight days

 

[umina panther]

What time you guys think the fight will start?

 

[KiWi_BoI_15]

That weigh in was awesome, what an atmosphere.

Would love to see a Canelo win today.

 

[El Diablo]

could be 2pm depending if the two other fights go 12

 

[Tommy Smith]

How about the judging so far?

f**king criminal some of them.

 

[El Diablo]

only two judges and it didn't effect the results luckily

 

[Tommy Smith]

True.

Just boggles the mind that any of them can get it so wrong. Not that I'm surprised.

 

[El Diablo]

Matthysse needs a KO IMO
