Bruh you talking like Canelo really won that fight and GGG wasnt cheated out a win on Mexican Independence Day :russ:
Only the media is saying this. The same media who refused to give ward credit for besting kov. The same media who refused to give floyd credit for beating Pacquiao. Little g's whole aura was created by these media people. They were never gonna give canelo credit. 90% of pro boxers said canelo won. That's all I need to know :manny:



It's funny though. Shookboys still refuse to talk about their boy being shook to throw them hands. But they had all them jokes for canelo after the first fight even though canelo landed more power shots:heh:......media tries to say canelo's aggression wasnt effective, but then praise little g for his performance in the first fight. That shows you the hypocrisy of these clowns. Little g was the aggressor in the first fight and he still got outlanded in power shots and took more overall damage. But the media still called it "effective aggression":mjlol:......but then flip the script and canelo becomes the aggressor and he lands over 30 more power shots then little g did in the first fight while dishing out far more damage....and yet his aggression is "ineffective":what:.......b b but that jab though!.....it didn't matter what canelo did. The media was gonna do whatever it took to protect their great white hype.


I don't care what anybody says. If you watch that fight with no bias and see which fighter took more punishment in each individual round. There's no way you can honestly give 6 rounds to little g.

Tevin Farmer To Face Francisco Fonseca on Canelo-Fielding Card

By Lem Satterfield

Philadelphia southpaw Tevin Farmer pursues his 21st consecutive victory and second straight knockout in as many IBF 130-pound title defenses against Francisco Fonseca on the undercard of Rocky Fielding’s WBA “regular” super middleweight title defense against Canelo Alvarez, who will pursue a third crown in as many divisions on December 15 at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The 28-year-old Farmer (27-4-1, 6 KOs) traveled to Australia to win the vacant crown by near shutout (120-107, 119-108, 118-109) unanimous decision over Billy Dib (43-5, 24 KOs) before his partisan fans in August, dropping the former IBF featherweight champion with a clean left hand in the ninth-round.

“Tevin Farmer has a great story but more importantly to me the man can really fight,” said Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing USA and DAZN, which is streaming the event. “He showed great heart to...go to Australia to win the title – and now the world is his oyster. We are going to keep him nice and busy..."

Last month, Farmer scored two knockdowns during a fifth-round KO of Ireland’s James Tennyson (22-3, 18 KOs), ending the loser’s six fight winning streak, including five knockouts in a row. Tennyson was Farmer’s first KO since an eighth-round stoppage of Daulis Prescott in August 2015, a span of 38 months.

“I’m fighting three championships in five months. Punching power’s a definite improvement over my past two fights. I’ve been sitting down on my shots and turning them over,” said Farmer, 28, who enters his third title fight in five months. “I’m in my prime and as sharp as I’ve ever been. I just want to get better and better, so I don’t have time to take off. This shows I’m hungry, disciplined and I want it. I’m grinding and learning on the job every day.”

The 24-year-old Fonseca (22-1, 16 KOs) will be after his fourth straight stoppage victory since August 2017, when a one-knockdown, eighth-round knockout loss to left-handed two-time 130-pound champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis (20-0, 19 KOs) ended his five-fight KO streak.

“Fonseca got stopped, but he’s still in his prime and hung in there with Gervonta,” said Farmer's co-promoter Lou DiBellaof Fonseca, who was last in action for a fifth-round TKO of Sandro Hernandez in August. “Somewhere down the line, Tevin is going to wind up fighting Gervonta, so this is a very good measuring stick for Tevin and a very real title defense.”

Farmer has gone 20-0 with five knockouts since October 2012, when a seventh-round TKO as a late replacement to Puerto Rican Olympian Jose “Sniper” Pedraza improved the winner to 11-0 with seven knockouts.

Now a two-division title winner and current WBO 135-pound champion, Pedraza (25-1, 12 KOs) has a unification on December 8 with WBA counterpart Vasyl Lomachenko (11-1, 9 KOs), a three-division title-winner and two-time Ukrainian Olympic gold medalist.

Farmer was 7-4-1 with 1 KO after falling to Pedraza, rebounding in 2013 by going 7-0 with two knockouts, including a unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Camilo Perez that October.

“Tevin had been thrown to the wolves as a pro when I got him on a week’s notice for Pedraza,” said DiBella. “But even at 7-3-1, he gave Pedraza a great fight. I knew he had skills."

Farmer went 3-0 with one knockout during both 2014 and 2015, and 4-0 in 2016, improving his overall mark to 24-4 with five KOs. DiBella signed Farmer following his June 2014 unanimous decision over Emmanuel Gonzaelez, who was 14-0 with seven knockouts coming in.

“Tevin toyed with Gonzalez,” said DiBella. “He was putting on a boxing clinic, so I’m saying to myself, ‘Who is this, Pernell Whitaker?’”

Angelo Luna was 10-0-1 with six knockouts, and Prescott, 30-2 with 22 KOs, before losing to Farmer by unanimous decisions and stoppage in April and August 2015.

Farmer scored three knockdowns during a unanimous decision over former 130-pound world champion Gamaliel Diaz in March 2016, earned another unanimous decision in July 2016 over Ivan Redkach, and won the same way in December 2016 against Dardan Zenunaj. Redkach was 19-1-1 (15 KOs) coming in, and Zenunaj, 14-2 with nine stoppages before the loss.

“Do the research on the competition I faced coming up, and I’ve never has it easy,” said Farmer, who faced Dib following a unanimous decision in April 2017 over Arturo Santos Reyes.

“But the hard road gave me the experience I’ve needed to make a lot of fights look easy. I used to train three and four times a day from sun up to sundown. I have a good team, talent and I work hard.”

Room was created for Farmer on the card after Canadian-based IBF 175-pound champion Artur Berterbiev (13-0, 13 KOs) cited to speedy a turnaround as his reason for pulling out of a scheduled second defense against Joe Smith (24-2, 20 KOs), whose biggest career victories were first- and eighth-round stoppages of former title challenger Andrzej Fonfara and two-division champion Bernard Hopkins in June and December 2016.

The 33-year-old Beterbiev is coming off last month’s fourth-round stoppage of Callum Johnson (17-1, 12 KOs), scoring first- and final-round knockdowns but being dropped, himself, in the second. Johnson’s run of four straight knockouts (three in the first round) was ended by Beterbiev, who could yet defend against Smith in February.

The 28-year-old to Alvarez (50-1-1, 34 KOs) of Mexico still retains the WBC and “super” WBA middleweight championships he earned by split-decision over 36-year-old Gennady Golovkin (38-1-1, 34 KOs) in last month’s rematch of their draw from September 2017.

The 31-year-old Fielding (27-1, 15 KOs) of England dethroned Tony Zeuge (23-1-1, 13 KOs) in July by fifth-round TKO, flooring the German in the final round.

“Canelo is one of the best fighters in the world, and that means a lot of people will be watching me," said Farmer. “I’m looking forward to displaying my skills to new fans. Once they see me, they’ll realize I’m the best fighter in the world in my division.""
