Mayweather vs Alvarez card

[crusader]

Card started yet?

[crusader]

I was hoping some prelims would be shown online. That's one thing Top Rank does very well.

Anyway, hopefully it will be a good night. I expect Floyd to win handily, but I'm not too confident about the outcomes of the other bouts.

[gilgamesh]

Yep, I'm watching. SNAFU still downloading

[marcianofan]

I asked off work for this one, so I might actually be able to give some live scoring instead of posting after the fact this time!

Whereas I've been called in early, so any updates will be much appreciated.

[marcianofan]

So far the biggest update is that Showtime has a new show about 1950s researchers wiring people up and watching them have sex.

[marcianofan]

Gotta love the propaganda piece about Canelo pretty much dominating Trout, too...

[marcianofan]

Cano-Theophane are in the ring.

[Craig14]

Come on the London boy

[marcianofan]

Cano heavy handed and moved forward like a tank. Very clear 10-9 for Cano in rd 1.

[Craig14]

10-9 cano, Ashley might be out of his depth here.

[Craig14]

good boy, Ashley's round 19-19

[marcianofan]

Rd 2 better for Theophane, but he didn't get started until the 2nd half. Cano still landed cleaner and harder, but Theophane no longer gunshy. Reasonably close 10-9 for Cano.

[marcianofan]

Theophane hurt twice in the round, but fought back enough in the end to avoid a 10-8 on my card. 30-27 Cano.

[marcianofan]

Theophane has good first half of rd 4, but gets tagged a couple times in the middle of the rd. Reasonably close 10-9 for Cano. 40-36 Cano.

[HyacinthusTurnipseed]

Ooooo, turned into a decent little scrap this.

[marcianofan]

Theophane starts Rd 5 strong, nearly gets decapitated, manages to stand, and comes back strong to knock Cano on his heels a time or two. Cano takes command at the end again to win it clear. 50-45 Cano.

[marcianofan]

Theophand dominates 1st 2 mins of rd 6. Cano reasserts himself late, but Theophane takes it reasonably close 10-9. 59-55 Cano.

[HyacinthusTurnipseed]

I've given Theophane rounds 2, 6 and 7 so far.

[marcianofan]

Rd 7 Theophane has become the aggressor, and vastly outworks Cano. Fight is definitely turning. 68-65 Cano.

[marcianofan]

Rd 8 Theophane continues to be the aggressor and has more snap on his punches as Cano looks arm-weary. Cano does pick it up at the end to make it close, but Theophane gets anohter 77-75 Cano.

[marcianofan]

Rd 9 Cano comes back strong, starts to impose himself on AT physiclaly for the first time in a while. Clear 10-9 Cano. 87-84 Cano.

[Craig14]

I've got Theophane 4 rounds down and I'm English he's being outworked and outclassed. Needs a last round ko.

[HyacinthusTurnipseed]

Cano 96-94 for me.

[Tanzio]

97-93 Cano for me.
