Chavez Jnr vs Canelo: anybody else quite looking forward to it?

[Counter-puncher]

Chavez is yet another example of modern training and nutrition that makes boxing now the greatest it's ever been.

Unfortunately I stayed up.

Chavez didn't bring any ambition. He looked to be in journeyman/survival mode from round one. Even when Canelo appeared to sit on ropes and invite him in, Chavez could only lightly hit his arms and elbows. As bad as a performance I've ever seen in such a modern high profile fight.
If I was Chavez Sr I'd be asking for a DNA test.

I'm not a huge fan of team Canelo. The only reason they've now taken the GGG fight is because they feel he's on the slide. Should of been made 12-18 months ago.
I've got a horrible feeling Canelo might of got him at the right time.

I don't think he has.

I think |Canelo will make a fight of it, I rate him, but GGG has far greater firepower. I think it may well go the distance, but Canelo will take a pounding. Canelo couldn't put a dent in a guy who was a walking punchbag, he's going to get hit over and over against GGG.

Chavez' fight was to make weight. Fairplay to him for doing that. His head looked fvcking massive, is it always that big ??

I don't think Chavez warrants any criticism at all. Oscar and Canelo wanted yet another fight heavily stacked in Canelo's fighter so they chose a washed up name who was never elite and who they knew would be rendered impotent by having to make an absurd catchweight. Chavez dutifully turned up for his beating well aware that his only edge on Canelo ie size and strength had been negated by starving himself half to death.

Who the fvck buys Canelo PPVs in USA ? These Mexican fanboys need to take a long hard look at themselves.

I was fairly under the influence last night but I couldn't help but being impressed with Alvarez, even though​ Chavez Jr was awful, I get that he was weight drained but he was fit enough to take a 12 round beaten, it was his effort that was scandalous

[crusader]

Alvarez was essentially doing a heavy bag workout at his own pace....he'll look flashy every time in that kind of fight, but there's not much substance to it in my opinion.
