Round-by-Round: Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez vs. John Ryder | DAZN - 6 May 2023

[skanksta]

FFS I nearly landed.

JCM wins by TKO..

[margaret thatcher]

that looked prematurre, but ronal isnt complaining.....

[gregregegg]

I got JCM by dec @ huge odds for this reason - he's regressed.

That stings. Would of been getting nervy by the end. Good bet still, solid call on the regression.

[margaret thatcher]

wtf happened jcm...............

it's like a guy was on really effective peds and then stopped using them. he's so much worse than before

[KiwiRider]

This has to be undercard of the year. I've been looking forward to it for a while and it has exceeded my expectations

[gregregegg]

The boxing element of this card has been excelent

Sparks loss has dulled my spirits though, should be the best night of his carrer, ready to fight for a world title or a big australia card fight and buzzing. instead he is planning a rebuild.

the Random A-side knockdown video ref has also dampened my spirits a bit, because it just feeds into that fvcked side of boxing (unless jalisco has video replay, but even then it shouldent be suliman doing it)....

Boxing without A-side privilege would be so fvcking good.

Lets see if Canelo can get that quiet crowd excited

[margaret thatcher]

there is some bias in applying var, i have seen blatantly bad calls stand for the home fighter. in this case it was a legit kd tbf, but you do wonder how theyd treat it if situation was reversed

most questionable to me was the ref deducting batista immediately for something jcm did himself earlier and didnt even get a warning for

spark shoulda won too, outside a couple rounds, everything the mexican did spark did even more

defo mexican bias tonight, making sure this is their huge night

[gregregegg]

As far as i know only nevada do it, and the navada athletic commision run it.... not the alfebet belt.

the only time i was happy it exisited was the andrew maloney fight, and they fvcked it anyway. so ditch it.

[margaret thatcher]

they did it in argentina too when sergio martinez was floored 2nd time by martin murray. ref originally called no kd, they reviewed it and said the call was good. but it looked defo like a kd to me

the moloney fight of course was a classic f@ck up, the phantom head butt that they couldnt identify but said happened

[gregregegg]

I have to say this is pretty cool bringing canelo home to mex infront of 50,000.... Realy hope ryder can have a real go.

Also the only thing worse than a ringwalk is a corny as fvck montage befor it....

[margaret thatcher]

lol ring girls look ridiculous dressed up as a mariachi band

[KiwiRider]

Place has filled up a lot now. Pity so many missed the decent fights on earlier when it was near empty.

[Sweet Dick Willie]

lol ring girls look ridiculous dressed up as a mariachi band

Much better than being there half naked...

[margaret thatcher]

they didnt even have them girls showing some tummy, some blue body suit sh!t or something, still beats being dressed up like this

[KiwiRider]

Gosh this is all a bit drawn out, I nearly nodded off for a minute and it's only 3pm here

[margaret thatcher]

we havent even gotten to anthems yet

[margaret thatcher]

royalty cosplay seems to be a hot thing in boxing now, all these f@cking crowns

[gregregegg]

just put a dollar on ryder round 1 KO..... this ring walk is over the top as fvck, surely distracting.

[margaret thatcher]

is that the ukrainan flag...da ffuq

[KiwiRider]

John looks cool, but heck this is a mega event.

[gregregegg]

is that the ukrainan flag...da ffuq

Its not. Assume its a jalasco flag? cause ukrain is horrizontal... No UK flag to be seen but.

I got a tenner on him for the win, odds were too tempting

[margaret thatcher]

lol, i was wondering why they had a ukrainan flag but no british

no anthems? f@ck ya

[CaptainSpacerod]

John’s been in the ring for about half an hour already
