The Army Boxing Thread

I think the fact is that the list of people with a genuine chance of beating him is short, and Alvarez is top of it for a number of reasons I mentioned above (size, strength and poise).

Agreed. I think Floyd wins by a split decision, but I really want to see how Mayweather holds up if Alvarez parks one of those left hooks squarely on his chin. My hope is that he will catch Floyd napping and knock his ass out.

The ONLY way Alvarez wins this is if he knocks him out, there is no way in hell that Showtime will allow a points decision to Alverez. Too much money at stake, call me a cynic.......

I think Canelo's best chance at winning is to not aim for the head and go for the body. No one has ever landed enough head shots to put Floyd in danger and i don't expect that Canelo can either. With Floyd's great defense of his head why not just hit what you can hit and hope that the unexpected liver shot does the damage.

I should also say that:

a) I'm at a friend's wedding and will not be able to see the fight. Yes, I AM pissed.

b) Garcia - Mattyhse will be a much, much better fight on Saturday. Waaaaaaaar!

Also, it looks like Arreolla is back after his destruction of Seth Mitchel last weekend.

Totally agree on the Garcia - Mattyhse fight. That should be the one to see and would be a main event anywhere on its own. Garcia has a good chin but will it hold up to Mattyhse's awesome power and what happens when Garcia lands a great one? I am much more stoked by this intriguing matchup.

8 rounds of a boxing lesson up to now

Canelo who? When are you guys going to learn?

[vandeleur]

Think mayweather is missing a trick , he needs to have another fighter lined up to jump straight in so he can get two done a night :-)

[vandeleur]

One judge scored a draw ... Wtf .

[TFM_Dale]

One judge scored a draw ... Wtf .

That is crazy, giving Canelo one round is reaching. That judge needs to get the boot, that is ridiculous.

[vandeleur]

Your right ,I don't think Canelo was even close to winning a round .

[jhale667]

Canelo wins a point for surviving the night. He was never in any real position to hurt or stop Floyd. Shocker.

[ToraToraTora]

Alverez was made to look really really ordinary. The Mayweather money train rolls on. Who's next??

[DlocRoth]

That was a joke.

Sorry B Hop, but Floyd is easily the best defensive fighter of his generation. Possibly of all time.

[vandeleur]

Seemingly mayweather dislocated his elbow half way through , wouldn't like to fight the fella if he had two hands

[ToraToraTora]

So he really can beat people with "one arm tied behind his back"
