    Fight weekend.  Bananas excited for the fight tomorrow. Canelo gets so little respect while GGG has everyone on his nuts, myself included, without fighting anyone really, largely because he has been avoided and there isn't much money in it.

    I love both of these boxers. My heart tells me to take and pull for Canelo and that a win will give him the respect he deserves.  My gut tells me GGG is going to go all GGG on him and knock him out after destroying his body.  Jacobs was a bad fight though.  Did his age finally hit him?

    I cannot wait.  Have a lunch meeting, will be going to the ECU-Virginia Tech game then watching the fight.

    GGG is a mutant that you can hit in the head with a 2 x 4 and he will just smile back at you.  This is first PPV in quite some time that is a no brainer.

    Yeah, I can't wait to see this. GGG going at him and canelo countering. It's going to be fun.

    Like I said I love these boxers so much and I don't want either to lose.

    Just dropped a little dough on canelo though. I think this is his moment. The spot is too big for GGG and he lost a bit of power.

    Well, I am very wrong so far. Only took GGG a few rounds to get going but he is rolling

    So GGG clearly the aggressor overall but canelo has landed more effective power shots. I think

    This could go either way

    Outside of the insane card, I love that outcome and agree with it. Canelo had a tiny edge in power and %. I thought his power was more effective and if anyone was hurt more it was GGG. GGG was the aggressor and threw a shit load of jabs. Jabs don't decide a canelo-GGG fight. Get the next fight scheduled tomorrow

    Goddamn the corruption of boxing.  These motherfuckers finally have a prime fight and then slap anyone with half a brain on that decision.

    How in the fuck can you call 118 - 110 in favor of a dude that was attacket back into the corners the entire night???   The judge should be arrested. Obvious shenanigans..

    That card is crap but I am good with that fight being a draw. But yeah 10-2 is pure pure insanity. She is awful

    I disagree.  I am in no way happy with that being called a draw.  It's a travesty, a sham, and a mockery that this crap blatantly ruins the sport.  

    It takes years of shenangans just to set up a card like last night, and then Vegas just poops on it. That score card is obvious Vegas corruption. Clear as day.

    Nah, jabs don't win a GGG-Canelo fight. 114-114 or 115-113 are perfectly acceptable scores either way

    It was obvious in the Conner vs Mayweather fight when Vegas was scoring Mayweather a 2 – 1 favorite after 3 rounds. The bookies run the show. That was a fake boxing match.

     Last night was a real boxing match and Vegas took dog poop and rubbed it in our face.
