I am so hyped for this fight..... I can usually call a fight about 80% of the time but this one. I legit don't know.

 

[RootCause]

Neither of them want to fight Golovkin. He needs to pull a Lara and call one of them out at their own press conference for a fight at 160.

Yeah, a fight in which he'll show up between 170-175, please don't make me laugh. The only way Cotto should give him fight is if he shows up at 160 for the fight. Even tonight's fight ridiculous, Canelo will get in the ring around 15 pounds heavier than Cotto.

 

[Tekniqs]

wooo can't wait for the fight.

excited to see Rigo fight again as well!

 

[illmatic22]

Yeah these guys suck because they lost to the best fighter of these last couple of years.

SMH

 

[kodecraft]

Uhh.. How friendly is Gaf towards posting "unofficial" streams? I use a paid one that's never failed me yet but I don't wanna be banned.

Don't do it.

 

[Tenebrous]

If anyone wants to get in the mood for Cotto/Canelo, you could do a lot worse than check out Abraham vs Murray for the WBO SMW title, & Perez vs Crolla II for the WBA LW title. Should both be on in the next few hours.

Best fighter? The internet told me all he does is run. How can you be the best, if all you do is run, hurr, hurr, hurr.

[Rastafarian42]

I'm leaning towards Canelo but this is a toss up it'll probably end in a knockout.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Fuck Cotto and his catchweight and ducking GGG nonsense.

Isn't canelo also ducking ggg?

 

[Tater Tot]

According to Dan Rafael from ESPN. Cotto paid GGG 800k to step aside so he can fight Canelo. He later did not want to pay the 300k sanctioning fees on top of that and has been officialy stripped of the WBC middleweight title. However, if Canelo wins tonight he will become the WBC middlweight champion.

I imagine most of those geniuses thought Rousey could beat Mayweather too.

 

[RBH]

Can't wait

 

[Kitschkraft]

Pretty hyped.

Got some left-over vodka I've been meaning to drink.

Rooting for COTTO but I ain't even mad if Canelo wins.

What time do the festivities start?

4 hours for the main event would be my guess.

 

[Frog-fu]

Gonna be real, I don't know for sure who I'm rooting for. I like both fighters but I'm leaning towards Cotto.

The Jackal returns to the ring, finally!

 

[illmatic22]

He took Donaire to school. Say what you will about Rigo but he is supremely skilled.

 

[Tubie]

Velez vs Rios has been pretty good so far.

 

[Fox318]

Velez has some fast hands

 

[King Kovu]

Good fight so far.

 

[King Kovu]

Rios is taking this fight over.

 

[Fox318]

Imagine if we get a draw here

 

[Tubie]

Imagine if we get a draw here

Nah, Rios easily won this fight.

 

[_illmatic_]

Let's go RIGO!!!!

 

[Wellscha]

Rigo's getting pummeled .

 

[Fox318]

I love how they have to explain if the boxer isn't going for knockouts or throwing punches he's playing it smart and safe.

 

[Wellscha]

Can't tell who's in control.

 

[loki 16]

Rigo is a fantastic boxer but he is not very exciting.

 

[Tater Tot]

Rigo has won everyround

 

[Mesousa]

Lol booing.

 

[Ramsiege]

When does the replay show up on HBO go?

 

[Tubie]

When does the replay show up on HBO go?

I think next week, because that usually when they show the fights on HBO (a week later).

 

[Wellscha]

Rigo's winning on decision isn't he?

 

[Fox318]

Rigo's winning on decision isn't he?

yup.

 

[abuC]

Of course

 

[Fox318]

Kellerman is really stretching to sell this fight.

Kellerman is really stretching to sell this fight.

Rigo isn't really for everyone, I love his skill and how badly he makes other fighters look. He can be a bit negative but that doesn't bother me.

 

[Mesousa]

Is Canelo and Alvarez next?

 

[Tubie]

Rigo isn't really for everyone, I love his skill and how badly he makes other fighters look. He can be a bit negative but that doesn't bother me.

On a technical level, he is amazing, but it's hard to blame the people there from booing.

 

[Fox318]

Rigo isn't really for everyone, I love his skill and how badly he makes other fighters look. He can be a bit negative but that doesn't bother me.

No doubt the dude can box but if he wants to be a big draw people want the theatrics.

 

[Tubie]

Is Canelo and Alvarez next?

One more fight in the undercard after this.

 

[Mesousa]

One more fight in the undercard after this.

Good stuff.

 

[Hands of Stone]

Rigo isn't really for everyone, I love his skill and how badly he makes other fighters look. He can be a bit negative but that doesn't bother me.

It's more for the fact that this guy is so clearly overmatched against Rigo, he shoulda taken him out by now.

His last fight has made him fight super tentatively tonight


Also Rigo can't lead to save his life it seems, and his opponent hasn't given him much to work with so its even more boring

He doesn't have the best beard, he fights like this because he can be hurt and knocked down, unlike Floyd who has a really good chin he can't afford to be as reckless.

 

[Wellscha]

Drian was trying so hard, Fuck Rigo.

 

[Fox318]

Now Holly Holm is the conversation.

 

[Hands of Stone]

He doesn't have the best beard, he fights like this because he can be hurt and knocked down, unlike Floyd who has a really good chin he can't afford to be as reckless.

Makes you miss Casamayor, a highly technical fighter who knew when to press on the gas

 

[Fox318]

this is hard to watch

Drian Francisco looked horrible out there compared to rigo

 

[Fox318]

How the fuck did a judge give 3 rounds to Francisco?

 

[studyguy]

Rigo is Mayweather without the charisma and all the technical knowledge. Too gunshy to walk down his opponent down despite being obviously able to punish with those counters, I'm sure he thinks he's doing a great job but I was glad thst 10th round bell rang.
