Eventually hating on Canelo will get old. Dude is embarrassing undefeated elite level boxers.

You have to give BJS his props for continuing to take risks after feeling Canelo's power, as well as not going down after that uppercut. However, once he landed a few power jabs and started ducking :heh: after his combo's that was it. Canelo threw a full power uppercut to the body at like 1:50 in RD8, BJS blocked it and still got sent back a few feet. Twas only a matter of time before BJS herky jerky style and bravado caught up to him. Probably a round or two earlier than I expected.

Canelo's trainers deserve insane props for what they've done with him. Truly turned him into a monster. How do you game plan for a dude like Canelo who has a granite chin and wants to fight? He also is affecting his opponents with blocked shots. I don't see anyone 168 or under beating him. IDK about 175 cause the power gap is pretty big, but we'll see.

Canelo doing legendary stuff.

I actually felt bad for Andrade getting shyt on like that :mjcry:

“I’m a big fan :mjgrin:

“I know :martin:

:laff:
I'm just legit lost at who has smith, bjs fielding, next plant fought shyt or even GGG( to keep it 100) if that's canelos requirement:dahell:


Or is it because he's a potential challenge :sas2:. He should move up to 168 and force that fight to happen but yeah he lost that exchange.

Roy summed it up nicely. Said saunders won maybe 2 rounds. He still competed and made canelo work. But for the most part he wasn't doing shyt but landing a few jabs here and there. Canelo was landing the serious blows all night.





Was nice to hear roy again. Hopefully dazn gets rid of mannix and starts upgrading the announce team..

How can he abandon 160 like he did 154 just to chase Canelo to another division and still hold on to his dignity and some level of respect?

He's not getting ggg or charlo he should just move up since the weight isn't easy to make for him anyway

That's when the "he doesn't deserve the fight, he just wants a payday homes" argument goes out the window. I guarantee that the majority of his fans never watched BJS before last night.

If they wanna Charley Burley the breh, be my guest.

Golovkin, smith and saunders actually had large fan bases. Andrade don't have shyt except a few hundred online fan boys:russ:


And Fielding was a showcase fight after coming off a war with golovkin. Wasn't nothing but a victory lap fight. We all knew that. Those are the type of fights you EARN after coming off great fights. Something Andrade has never done yet his whole fukkin resume is built off Rocky Fielding level opponents. It's funny how you sit here and ignore that though:sas1:......Talking about challenges but won't dare criticize Andrade for never taking a challenge in his ENTIRE career. shyt. Rocky Fielding would stomp out Liam Williams bum ass if we're keeping it real. And Andrade almost got knocked out by liam :mjlol:



Andrade is nothing but a hypejob who just wants to cash out before his horrible career is finished. Any chance he had of getting canelo is over after that stunt he pulled last night. I'd be legit embarrassed to even be reppin Andrade at this point. Dude is the Biggest clown in sports. There's a reason none of his peers respect him. And now the whole sport is laughing at him after last night. Publicly embarrassed himself and his father :mjlol:

If I'm Andrade, I'm asking for my release ASAP after watching my promoter all :skip::bryan: It's obvious that Hearn is hindering Andrade from getting good fights because he's done the same with Farmer and Whyte
Hearn isn't hindering Andrade from shyt. Dude is a clown who's been bum hunting his whole career. Pulled out of a Charlo fight one week before the fight happened. Ducked Lara when he had the chance to fight. Andrade has never taken a risk his whole career. He been with like 5 different promoters and couldn't get a good fight done. But it's the promoters fault :mjlol:

Cant believe the Canelo hate have brehs talking about slick fighters are winning against Canelo until they are losing. Moral victories for you minor leaguers :umad:

A fight is 12 rounds and it doesnt matter if somebody is potentially ahead if they are not finishing the 12th :umad:

Andrade should have been fighting better competition if he wanted that cinnamon payday. Now he has to resort to publicity stunts to exist :umad:

Nelo grants fights to the deserving. Hustle hard and youll get rewarded :umad:

So how does Canelo's opponents rank in terms of difficulty in his post GGG career? I think it's something like this

1 - Jacobs
2 - Kovalev
3 - BJS
4 - Smith
5 - Yildirim
6 - Fielding

Jacobs and Kovalev could be the most competitive, but Kovalev was mostly just coasting then got brutally stopped, Jacobs actually made it competitive. BJS was game but losing on the cards then immediately retired once his eye been busted. Smith wasn't competitive at all maybe won 1-2 rounds top but hasn't been knocked out like Yildirim and Fielding who were really just filler fights for Canelo. Don't even feel right to say one did better than the other but let's say Yildirim did a bit better, cause he wasn't floored left and right in the first 2 rounds like Fielding.
IMO, Kovalev cant be #2, he wanted no parts ofthat fight and was just pumping the jab to pump up his punch count. There was 0 power and 0 will behind his punches.
