He was 165.2 late last night...the plan is to sleep well into the afternoon...wake up, walk off any weight if needed then weigh in

Good luck breh

I've seen all his recent fights. I'm not saying he's a bum. But there are some factors in this fight that are alarming for Canelo. For one....he's small. And I'm not even talking about weight. He's listed at 5'9", but if anyone that watched the Cotto fight will see, at the end of the fight they embrace and rest their heads on each other's forehead, and they are close in height (Cotto is barely 5"7"). Junior is a legit 6'1" coupled with the fact he's fighting with a 3-4 inch reach advantage. Junior isn't the best fighter in the world, but he has championship level pedigree and talent. He's literally walking into the ring with most of the advantages while Canelo fans are banking on soft factors like Junior being "lazy". Another thing Canelo does in the ring, which isn't a bad thing, is that he really prides himself on being a boxer. Unlike someone like Floyd, who's had experience of being the "smaller" guy in the ring, I don't think Canelo has ever been in a situation where he's being leaned on by someone much bigger. Sometimes skills go out of the window and you just have to fight. What happens when he's no longer on his toes and both guys are stuck in mud and just have to fight? Now add in the fact a "light heavyweight" will be leaning on you all night. I'm not sold on Canelo "gas" issue being fixed and I think he's gonna find himself in some deep waters this fight. I wouldn't be shocked if Canelo gets ko'd late.

So who are you choosing breh?

When has Canelo shown struggle against a non-mover?

He just making shyt up because him and shookboys in the back of the line hoping Canelo gives them a shot.

Ain't shyt struggle about Canelo except his footwork and Chavez footwork is even worse.

Gotta see how Jr looks on the scale. If he looks sunken and drained, then I'm going with Canelo. But if he looks like he brought the weight off the right way and looks strong, I'm going with Junior.

 

[krackdagawd]

Chavez should fight like this instead try and outbox canelo.

If he does he well get stopped by the Mexican James Toney. Can't wait for the gifs and that sig that will be rocking a krackdagawd in immaculate shape @ChocolateGiddyUp

banking on him being lazy?

No we're banking on the fact that Canelo is better technically, faster, better defensively, has faced better opponents so he has elite level experience, and he's been on this stage before so he wont freeze under the pressure. Chavez's biggest fight was vs Sergio Martinez..........Canelo has faced not only Miguel Cotto, in a PR vs Mexico big fight, but Floyd Mayweather himself on the grandest stage. Plus we're banking on the fact that with an extra 10lbs cushion, Canelo wouldn't have to drop as much weight as he did to fight at 154, and will have better stamina than ever seen out of him.

However, we'll be here at the end of the fight to re-discuss this post

 

[Newzz]

So we jus goin ignore Canelo taking huge chunks of rds off in his last fight vs beefy


You wanna blame it on cutting weight fine with me....but dont be on some what stamina problem tho it's fixed

We know Canelo has stamina issues at 154 & 155....but he's at 164.5 tomorrow. If that does what I believe, and allows him to not have to drain himself as much, Chavez gonna get that work breh

Thats fine like i said ill accept the draining = gassing issue

But there was posts talking bout what stamina issues
