Fury KO'd Cunningham in the 7th, after being knocked down himself in the second. He showed mental toughness tonight, but he's still too easy to hit.

I had given Cunningham every round until the KO (although you could make a case for Fury winning the 1st and being even in the 5th).

Alvarez won the decision.

I had Trout ahead. Very strange scoring from the judges (and I don't like open scoring).

Going to be different and say Canelo by decision

Oh yes

To be honest I would agree with you on this binnie

Good binnie break down on the fury fight , you pretty much called it .

I was surprised Alvarez was able to knock Trout down for the first time in his career. Guess that was either a lucky shot or he hits harder than Cotto. Other than the knockdown, thought Trout was the busier and more aggressive of the two as well.

Replace 'this' with 'everything' and I'll love you forever

Alvarez hits harder than Cotto. Maybe not in a P4P sense, but in a 'real' sense. He's much bigger.

Can't say I was that impressed with him last night. I'd be surprised if they rush him up to 160......

For those who didn't see it, here it is (with Russian commentary). It won't be up for long, so watch now.

I wasn't impressed with him at all. Seems he's been working on head movement, but he was doing a lot of showboating for a dude barely throwing punches. I'd heard going in that Trout would need a knockout to win, and that seems to have held true... still think he outworked Alvarez overall...

[binnie]

Me too. Wouldn't call it a 'robbery', but I'd certainly call it the wrong decision.

[jhale667]

Seriously. I could've seen a draw, but some of those scores were just ridiculous. Especially when the guy who wasn't punching was ahead on 2 out of 3 by such a retarded margin. What fight were they watching?

[jhale667]

Any predictions for the Mayweather-Guerrero(sp?) fight this weekend? Guerero is tough, but he's NOT going to be able to bully Floyd like he did Andre Berto. He's talking a bunch of shit (used to like him prior to the Berto fight, but he's turning into quite the douche lately), but he's yet to fight anyone of Floyd's caiber... should be interesting...


Floyd's going to have Sr. AND Roger in his corner (which the Guerrero camp arrogantly thinks has something to do with them - please), so that's kinda cool.

[vandeleur]

It's an interesting match up , Guerrero is gonna try and rough it up . Seen some pundits even predict Guerrero could nick it , which was a surprise .
Think it's mayweather on points but its gonna be a tough tough old fight .
Could be a cracker

[TFM_Dale]

Floyd smokes him before or in the 8th round. With Paq-fraud off the roids and not even an interesting fight for Floyd anymore I am hoping to see him beat Saul Alvarez's ass next and then he might as well retire.

I really don't know. All I can think is that although Trout was throwing, he look hesitant an uncommitted to some of his punches. Perhaps that was what the judges saw.
