Canelo Alvarez vs. Rocky Fielding on Sky Sports - 15 December 2018

[Ruthless-RKO]

Canela's cuts haven't healed by the looks of it.

I think the one under his eye if permanent..

[samwbr]

Big old target for Alvarezs body shots isn't there.

Yes , hope rocky is getting paid well and it's a great experience for the lad , but he's in deep water here .

Yes , hope rocky is getting paid well and it's a great experience for the lad , but he's in deep water here .

He's getting 7-figures.. No doubt his highest ever purse and definitely first £1m+ purse..

In all honesty, he HAD to take this bout. Canelo's team called Rocky.. It wasn't any other way around.. He got lucky..

I said before, don't be surprised if Rocky retires after this.

I'm really pleased he's bagged the opportunity, he's a decent lad.

[GlobalBox]

Anyone know a running order for tonight Skywise?

[dalcumly]

Like most, I fear for Fielding. I suspect a total disaster for the lad, I think he'll freeze and be stopped in the first round.
Definitely his last fight, but anyone would have taken it.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Yeh, Anyone fighting Canelo really will make life-changing money..

It's kinda why everyone wanted the Mayweather fight in his final years.. They wanted to be paid.. Why do you Khan was chasing is? Mostly due to the payday. Don't get me wrong, at the time, people did think he'd give Mayweather problems matching his speed etc.

Mayweather basically handpicked his final opponents.. It's what Canelo will kind of do as well. He will still need to take some risks though.

Berto was paid $4m base purse

Maidana was paid just over $8m for both fights

Canelo earned a base minimum $5m plus $7 Million for Mexican TV rights

Guerrero earned a career-high $3 million base purse
---
Even Cotto was guaranteed a career-best $8 million.

Ortiz made $2 million

Mosley made $7 Million

Marquez made $3.2m plus $600,000 for Mayweather failing to match weight

Hatton made $12 Million
-----------------------------

I don't think Canelo will consistently be able to provide his opponents what Mayweather did, but the better the opponents the more they wil receive.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Anyone know a running order for tonight Skywise?

No idea.. Suprised it's not said anywhere. Even Matchroom haven't posted it.

[Terminator666]

He really has absolutely no chance does he- don’t like these type of fights

[Oiky]

Don't do boxing no good do they

Paid his dues to the game , wouldn't it be great if he pulled off the impossible .

[Nightmare Roy]

Good luck Rocky

[rhino222]

in my opinion...

rocky is not going to beat canelo on points. canelo is thick set at the weight and will 'mike tyson' rocky to get inside and work the long body.

im afraid, if rocky has a chance, he needs to plant his feet straight away and hope to win the lottery.

[KiwiRider]

Guys, quick question;

If this fight was at MW, and Rocky won, obviously he would be top of the pile on the boxrec list.
But as it is at SMW, would this even change Rocky's world ranking at SMW if he won?

Exactly this. Come out and go for it first bell but doubt he will it’s not his style. He’ll try and box and end up taking a pasting I fear.

I believe Canelo’s rating would decrease slightly as he is moving up but if Rocky beats him, Rocky will likely be at the top of Boxrec.. maybe.. then when Canelo moves back down to MW, he’ll be on less than what he is on today.

Proves he’s human I guess

[jamamb]

i heard him assure use that canelo is not going to try to brutally deforest a field

[Ruthless-RKO]

Oh yeah we got Adam smith again. Has he mentioned that when Canelo says he was going to destroy fielding it was not a reference to the terrible 911 attacks we all witnessed

Lmfaoo as long as that’s clear.
