I hazard a guess that the ads will pay.

That never happened.

That's false totally.

GGG took a lot of punishment.

He trainer said at the end of the 7th round that they were losing the fight.

And GGG fought at middle and large distance because the body punches of Canelo.

That was a very good win and Performance to Canelo.

A newspaper? That's terrible advertising.

..I usually see that as childish cheap bs..

Canelo is a gangster. Acts like a punk, bribes judges, gets caught for PEDs and takes no real punishment for that. A true villain of modern boxing.

..I was having a laugh... listen to this, at 1:57:40 - 1:58:12

I would love for Jacobs to pull this off somehow.

I think Jacobs is capable of pulling this off and I honestly wouldn't consider it a upset. Jacobs is a huge Middleweight, he's athletic, he can punch he can box. This is going to be a tough nut for Canelo to crack. With that said, I think Jacobs gets a little wide with his punches and I think Canelo will catch him late and stop him.

I don't expect any surprises..don't know who will win in the ring ..with all other things being equal though, Canello won't lose on scorecards..

Ha! What was that about.

Yeh. Always is. Jacobs started this tbh.

I believe the GGG-Canelo 2 kick off was kinda legit. First time they had come face to face and GGG’s team had been saying soo much about Canelo for a full year, through the previous failed ped test too.

Yeah, Jacobs is real deal, but still Canelo is a better boxer. Jacobs mustn't engage much. Both can punch, but Jacobs' chin isn't special, while Caneloi's one is granite. And Canelo is more polished, his punches are faster and shorter. Jacobs gotta stay away, use his jab and reach, outbox Canelo from the outside. But actually Golovkin did similar stuff, he used his jab and outside skills, he outworked and outlanded Casnelo, but still he lost. So Jacobs in a bad situation.

..I meant that part where Canelo was asked (and I quote"a million dollar question") about his next meal and if beef would be on the menu..and how he answered that the meat is always better...

I know I heard. He mentioned fish first didn’t he.

yes, he did..not sure if that was a sincere question she asked him or just tried to provoke him with it..

Obviously staged.
Probably Eddie's idea - a bit of amateur dramatics doesn't hurt.

Tyson was the last one to bring real menace to the weigh-ins.

In fact Mike was the Al Pacino of face-offs. Impossible to tell whether he was acting or whether he was about to try and kill you.

In Mike Tyson's case I think he really wanted to hurt them

Not in LA, targeting the Mexican American market. Plus, it likely also includes their online offering which is relatively robust, at least regionally.

That surprises me, I haven't seen someone even reading a paper on the train here in ages.

Now that surprises me as I read two a day Mon - Fri. It's a very long time since I paid for one regularly though.

Wow. Some funny business here.

Both ‘made’ weight. But they’re NOT telling us what they weighed?

Nobody said that they weighed under 170

Who cares? Those rehydration clauses are bullshit. If you're going to let them boil down up to the day before, let them put on as much as they want. after a real hard cut a gallon of water and a sandwich will toss on 5 lbs.

It's especially pointless if neither of them is bothering with the Rehydration clause, and both are over 170. At that point it's a wash, and there's no advantage either way so why even make a fuss about it.

The only person I could imagine being aided in any way with the rehydration clause would be Canelo, and if he's coming in over 170 himself then he must not give a sh*t about losing that possible advantage.

Hearn was saying he’d pay any penalties for Jacobs. He probably has. Jacobs said he wants to weigh 172-4 in the ring.

Anyway. We’ve got a fight now.
