Just keep yourselves busy. I got some stuff I need to get done and going for a walk first to start this day.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Canelo got his shock-absorbent beard on.

 

[Kelsdesu]

Off topic but I feel this deserves a mention here.

Airing on ESPN

Oh shit! I wanna see HiTek do that DBZ shit against Rigo.


Also surprised the powers that be (Al Hammond) let this fight happen so soon.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

My Plan to survive the night.

9 to 11- Boxing(Billy Joe Saunders v Willie Monroe Jr)
11 to 12- Food Break
12 to 4 - UFC
4- GGG/Canelo

Hopefully I can do it.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Stay awake all night to watch the fight or set the alarm at 5am and get up unreasonably early for it?

Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin | Promo | 2017

 

[El Topo]

The timer in the opening post is solely for the event itself, not Canelo vs Golovkin, right?

Edit:
Okay. 6am German time the main event should start, right?

Great night for fight fans 👊

Unfortunately it's my girl's birthday so I'll be missing most of it 😞

Yep. This is the recipe. I've been keeping busy so far.

Can't wait!!

You're g/f will be around for a long time, but this fight only happens once!

This is probably why my last g/f dumped me lol

 

[CountAntonius]

This is a tough fight. I genuinely like and root for both and would hate to see either of them fall. Mexican family though so I know who will be getting cheered in today.

 

[Obliterator]

Lomachenko is so legit

 

[Bits N Pieces]

Going to flick between the Callum Smith v Erik Skoglund and Billie Joe Saunders v Willie Monroe Jr cards which should take me up to the Main Event of the night.

Pulling for Smith and Saunders!

 

[Delusibeta]

On the one hand, BoxNation (who have UK rights for this) is also broadcasting the Saunders v Monroe Jr bout that's happening in London tonight prior to the festivities in Las Vegas. On the other hand, they've also introduced a £4.95 surcharge for new subscribers this week, that will end on Monday. Bit of a dick move. :/

 

[Mixolydian]

In Nashville for a bit, anyone from here that can recommend a good watching spot?

Great analysis video, especially useful for people who only see Golovkin as some come forward slugger.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

What a punch by Zach Parker, first round TKO. Boom!

I love Gennady

He is overrated, lost to an out of prime salido.

*In his 2nd professional fight.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

Going to pick up some Modelos for the fight. Not much of a beer guy but can't show up empty-handed to the fight especially when they're going to be barbecuing.

Haha I've converted her into a pretty big fight fan herself over the years but it kind of fizzled when Jones got popped for PEDs. She used to root him on since his destruction of Bader. She's not at all into boxing or Luke Rockhold (surprise!) so it's not exactly a big night for her. I think the bar/lounge we're having the party has a bunch of TVs for sports so maybe we can get them to turn on the FS1 card at least.

That isn't a good excuse.

He only had like 400 amature fights to warm up

The jump from amateur to professional is huge though.

 

[Turin]

Salido keeps pricing himself out of a rematch.

Can't blame him though. He has something they want. Try to milk a huge payday out of it.

 

[jchap]

That 19 year old kid looked good.

 

[puebla]

I got Canelo in a very tough fought decision, and I hope there isn't a ko unless its epic like Corrales-Castillo lol.

 

[mnannola]

I think this fight has a chance to be one for the history books. Let's fucking go!

 

[Tubie]

I have GGG by TKO in the 9th or 10th.

Fight is gonna be close tho, would not surprise me if Canelo wins it instead.

 

[Syder]

I have GGG by TKO in the 9th or 10th.

I have a little bit of money on this outcome.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

A Ukranian fighter coming out to Volver is amazing.

Did something happen, cause the fight right now is between Cesar Valenzuela and Serhii Bohachuk and its only 4 rounds.

edit: It's actually Joan Valenzuela.. nvm.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Valenzuela is one of the worst fighters I've ever seen.

 

[Tubie]

Valenzuela is one of the worst fighters I've ever seen.

Didn't even look like a real boxer lol.

 

[Damerman]

i want to root for canelo because he strikes me as more dexterous and refined, and those are my favorite kinds of fighters. but what does that mean in front of a super efficient human tank like GGG. it's gonna be an amazing fight.
