Arreola/Mitchell and undercard RBR.

[Blodhemn]

Mitchell's chin is horrible. One of the worst in boxing.

Needed to wear his helmet.

[gilgamesh]

Mitchell's chin is horrible. One of the worst in boxing.

Indeed. On top of that, he's got sh*t defense. A very bad combination in Boxing. Weak chin + Poor defense = Early KO losses.

Mitchell's never gonna be a top guy, he could make some decent money fighting FNF type fights...but his management definitely needs to match him with guys with no better than a 50% KO ratio...and a few KO losses on their record.

It doesn't help when you get hit flush from a strong heavyweight.

True, but if his chin weren't so horrible he wouldn't turn to jelly whenever he's touched.

[Blodhemn]

Maybe Mitchell should challenge Arreola to a pushup contest. That's the only way he could compete.

Well gil, we were right; card didn't go two hours.

I think I predicted 5 rounds. Damn....

I think I predicted 5 rounds. Damn....

Don't feel bad.. I had KO,10.. I figured it'd go until someone got gassed and sloppy.

Right before the fight I thought I better change my predictor thing to KO 1 for Arreola. Why didn't I trust my instincts why?

I said 4.

Same for me!
Come on, can we do it retroactively, JCS? Please?
:)
I figured Arreola'd be lazy for a bit, get outworked and then KO him.

Yet another case when it probably would've been a good idea for me to use one of my 2x bonuses. Basically though after the Stiverne thing, my confidence in Arreola for any fight is always shaky at best

[Rover]

That's understandable.

At least predicted the right fighter to win

Good point; that counts the most.

No funny business in the PTBF. I may support PEDs in baseball, but the PTBF is always by the book.

I think this fight will look like the Hatton fight, and Floyd would dominate Trout.

I don't really see any stylistic similarity between Canelo and Hatton that makes me think it would be like that at all. I figure it'll resemble the DLH and Cotto fights if it's gonna resemble any of Floyd's previous fights.

[gilgamesh]

Yes we will. Looking forward to it.

The DLH and Cotto fights were nothing alike, so I really don't see what they hell you are talking about.

Canelo fights a lot like Hatton IMO. He's young, has a lot of wins before stepping onto the BIG stage, and has an untested chin. He's like a clone of Hatton.

They were alike in the sense that DLH and Cotto both tried to box Floyd from mid-range for the most part while Hatton did his thing and tried to get inside and maul him.

Canelo is more likely to try to box Floyd from mid-range than try to maul him on the inside.

At any rate. All of this talk will mean nothing in a week. We'll know exactly what will or won't happen.

[gilgamesh]

He'll come out and try to box, then he'll realize he has no shot and try to get inside, just like Hatton.

I don't think he'll go about it as sloppy as Hatton though. He's more technically sound than Hatton.

I thought they were also alike in terms of competitiveness; 8-4 for me in both.
