Usyk and Crawford at 175 lol

Do you remember when Canelo-stans were saying Canelo could beat Usyk after he cleaned out 168?  Even Canelo was entertaining that fight.  Dude was high on his own supply.  Then Bivol shut that shit down with a quickness.

Legit I wouldn’t mind seeing Crawford Bivol. Canelo couldn’t contend with the reach among other things. Crawford wouldn’t have that issue 

Mario Lopez needs to not have this job

That short clip should be made into one of those GIFS.  It looked like a movie punch with how Canelo’s head and torso reacted to that punch

I knew this outcome was the most likely, but let Netflix talk me into the weight being that much of an issue over the past couple weeks. Spoiler: it wasn't. 

The reflexes were always going to be too much, the timing, the precision. He has just had that level that only the greats have had, for a decade now. I've been a fan of Bud only half the time I've been a fan of Canelo, but I thought it was a mistake for Canelo to try this, the same way it was to fight Bivol. Just too much. He chases greatness, but could've retired as a great just sticking to 160-168. But he tried. Buds just another animal, and he has that same chin that Canelo has. Where i could not really see Canelo hurting him that bad. Maybe wearing him down, but fuck he couldn't even do that.

We witnessed what the sport is about. A big flight and a champion that stepped up to the plate. What a performance. Bud is the best I've ever seen. The man has the "it" factor. It's a shame that we could never see him outclass Floyd. Shout out to canelo for taking the fight and giving us fans what we deserve.

Damn, Hatton was a fighter for sure. Didn't back down, ever, that I can remember. Just two or three losses.

 

Still thinking about last night. That was awesome for Crawford. It sounded like that stadium was about 70% for Canelo. Glad Crawford resoundingly won.

i ended up passing out before the fight last night, but was able to watch it this morning without having the result spolied.  what a fucking performance from Bud.  I thought Canelo would be too big for him, but that wasn't an issue at any point during the fight.  just an absolute masterclass.  it almost felt as if everyone on the broadcast was hoping he'd retire after that, but i sure as shit hope he fights again.  he is my absolute favorite guy to watch and he always delivers.

Yeah, my boxing fan buddies and I talked about this fight for months. Everyone agreed:

*Bud is the better, faster technical boxer, but won't be able to hurt Canelo enough to stop him. 

*Canelo is bigger/stronger, but won't be able to get Bud into a phone booth brawl, so he'll have to land a combo to hurt Bud.

*Canelo isn't typically a 4/5-punch combo type guy, so he's going to have to catch Bud, who never gets caught. 

*Bud has the reach on Canelo, so he'll be able to jab Canelo at distance whenever Canelo wants to bring his combo bombs.

*Canelo will have to take damage to get in range, while hoping Bud stands there to deliver more damage and becomes willing to brawl. There is no world where Bud will consider this, even if Canelo is clearly hurt and ready to go out. High risk, low reward. 

 

Then they bet on Canelo for some reason.

Inoue completely kicking MJ's ass.  Not even close to competitive.  I guess Nakatani really is the only guy who can challenge the Monster at this point.

Inoue is just too good.

Honestly the few times that they did stand and brawl, Bud was way better at it and landed the more impactful shots. He was better than Canelo at everything, even the things that were supposed to be Canelo’s strengths.

Facts. However even being better at it didn't justify the risk of continuing to do it and getting caught with a phantom punch to the liver that could change or end the fight. 

Bud's defensive movement was great, because it put him in an offensive position with almost no risk.
