Not a good look but ppl on twitter already talking reckless like this would make all the ducking beforehand non-existent. Zhang isn’t all that so no way Hrgovic didn’t have a good reason to withdraw

I think it's cause his father recently passed away so must have effected him. I assume they will reschedule the fight on a later card.

absolutely this ...esp the bolded....canelo vs chavez was big trash too..the undercard was enjoyable plus i watched it in the theater which was a nice experience

see Res youre lucky...you're actually getting this damn card free in your area with your sub lol
They are not as crazy to put it on PPV on a small market like ours in the early morning hours.
What I don’t get is how they can’t secure this in Mexico and other countries of Latin-America of all places when these would likely some of the biggest markets for a Canelo fight.

Canelo vs a non English speaking Russian who won by decision in his last 6 fights not having big hype… who would have thought

Clearly he didn’t choose this fight to cater to casuals but to get one of them 175lbs belts and because he gets a shytload of money for it. Not every fight has to be some hypebeast promotion, it’s nice when a lot of casuals tune in (not in the comment section though :heh:) but doesn’t take anything away from my experience if they don’t.
Hype isn’t the measuring stick of how good a fight will be. Canelo vs Chavez had more hype then most of his other fights and it was a damn mismatch.
Whether DAZN earns or loses money on this is in them, I wouldn’t buy a PPV for the prices you guys getting it in the States either way, different consumer habits.
If anything this is a fight that the hardcore fan should appreciate. Canelo is already first ballot hall of fame. He could just chill and fight YouTubers for the rest of his career. But he's still trying to make history. You think any of these guys chasing canelo would have the heart to fight a guy like bivol?:hhh:....bivol would be the best fighter on any of their resumes by a huge margin. But that's too much risk for the reward right :whoa:


In only his 2nd fight at 175 canelo is already fighting a better opponent than beterbiev ever fought. Think about that. Just a GOAT doing GOAT things :banderas:

These canelo haters are so mad about his greatness that they come up with anything to discredit him… he could be fighting a heavy wieght and they will come up with something out of their ass.

Agree except the Beterbiev diss, these 175er guys actually fighting each other here and there unlike the current 168 and 160 scenes. Beterbiev beat Gvozdyk who imo was better than Bivol.

I still think bivol and Artur should have fought already. But both sides stalled it out to secure that canelo bag. And it looks like their plan is gonna pay off. Literally :wow:

But I'm not too mad at it. Bivol and beterbiev are gonna be two good ass fights.

Bivol has what it takes to beat Canelo but he would have to TKO him or KO him. There's no way they give him a decision over Canelo.

Say what? The guy avoided Andrade and Charlo for 7 years...that's not anything. Thats just how it is. He got time for Rocky Felding..Yildrim? Get that bullshyt out of here. He's afraid of black fighters and apparently is now on his high horse from 25 yr old Benavidez. Imagine Hagler being a coward like this:laugh:

:mjlol: yea the hate will make you say anything. Backwards ass thinking. P4P best in the sport with the best resume, is the one scared of everyone. And they be naming fighters with no work on they resumes. Dudes they never seen up against a real threaten opponent. Charlo and Andrade are going down in history as nobodies in the sport of boxing. Canelo going down as an all time great :francis:
