Re: Lara-Vanes 2

I think the biggest factor in Canelo vs Lara is the one Mexican judge, who was the only one that scored it wide for Canelo. (117-111) One judge in the Trout fight scored basically a shutout for Canelo. Totally bogus, but expect at least one judge to score the fight for Canelo, no matter how the fig...

Re: Briedis vs Durodola in WBC cruiserweight eliminator

Durodola hurt again in the seventh. Briedis is winning but he's not impressing. He's getting frequently caught with right hands as he pulls back and is being forced to hold a lot. I am actually impressed. Briedis did to Durodola what Durodola did to Kudryashov -- withstood original pressure and the...

Re: Povetkin tests Positive for illegal substance

Meldonium is not even that much performance-enhancing, there are other similar drugs that can be of some help with cardio. The ban of meldonium and not the similar substances used in the US and Europe might seem anti-russian, since this kind of drug was most widely used in Russia. The whole policy ...

Re: 160lb not a problem

160lbs, 10 % for GGG with a rematch clause and many other things in Canelo's favor. Even this would be a good scenario. Rematch close ? Why would Canelo want to get another stoppage loss on his record ? If Murray & Stevens can go rounds with GGG. Canelo will be able to go 12 rounds Golovkin was...

Stevenson is 38, so he would fight anybody for a really good money. The problem is that Ward doesn't bring any decent money.

Re: 160lb not a problem

Re: Scenarios of Golovkin vs Canelo fight negotiations

Reading between the lines it seems to me that Canelo is pushing for catchweight and threatens to vacate otherwise. "We are in talks, that's the only thing that I can say, so let's see if we reach an agreement. We agreed not to disclose the details until then. It's a big fight, it is obvious th...

They are just fishing for an advance excuse for the bum Wilder.

Odds are definitely off. If I was a gambler, I would put some money on Vanes. He is training with Andrade and Monroe Jr which should help him.

Re: Povetkin tests Positive for illegal substance

I see this positive test as a minor transgression. If the WBC allows, this fight might still salvageable. Wilder has been in England sparring the last few weeks to prepare. He would be out a lot of money not to mention missing the largest purse of his career. I think he would be pushing for the fig...
