BoxRec

It is!

It's £16.95 on Virgin (UK). But I really, really hate these late Las Vegas spectaculars. By fight time I'm 75% asleep and watching a very limited version of what's actually happening.

I guess I could try and record it and turn my phone off in case someone texts me like that time when Marquez knocked out Manny.

Because all the rabble rousers have convinced the commission that the judges somehow showed favoritism to Canelo, I would expect that this week's judges will go out of their way to turn in the dreaded "make up" scores.

So it's Canelo who will need 3 or 4 knockdowns to actually earn a decision.

Golovkin rooters have absolutely nothing to worry about when it comes to judging. They have that part in the bag.

Whatever. When have judges ever not favored Canelo? 114-114 card when he fought Floyd. Biggest blatantly corrupt scorecard I have ever seen. Just because G deserved last fight doesn't mean the judges won't show any less favoritism to Canelo. Anything less than a ko win for G and I expect a draw or decision for Canelo.

I'm heading to Tijuana Mexico to catch it at one of the hundreds of bars, restaurants and nightclubs that will televise it for free on Televisión Azteca.

A few of the bigger clubs usually show it off the English language HBO PPV feed.

Since there's a compelling undercard, I won't need to entertain myself by watching the frequent bar fights that routinely break out.

Any guesses on how many PPV buys there will be?

The first fight attracted 1.3 million. Below expectations.

I'm estimating that all the controversy and trash talking will help lure about 2 million this time.

Verizon wants $85 for this, and the undercard is pure mediocrity. I'm gonna pass.

That's European socialism in action Poor Canelo won't be able to buy another million-dollar car because of that.

This undercard seems to be dividing opinion. I think it's as solid as it gets. Good idea also to a keep your distance from all the off screen action going on around! Feel free to score them, just don't attempt to referee.

Tijuana? Ah, the power of words.. I hope you can enjoy it whatever the outcome. I hope we can all enjoy it whatever the result!

the undercards not bad and im looking forward to spike vs lem, but imo not enough competivness to be a really impressive undercard, at least on paper.but taken with the main event im pretty satisfied with the card

though dam son at that us ppv price

What time does it start?

Are you kidding me? It's a solid undercard: Chocolatito's return, Lemmy/Sully, and Munguia again. One of the better undercards for a PPV fight, actually.

I am looking forward to Lemieux icing Spike.

Thanks.

I always enjoy major fight nights in Tijuana.

The beer is cheap. The women are even cheaper and the fights are free.

Throw in wagering a few pesos at the Caliente Sports Book and how is it possible not to have a good time?

Unless the Mexican policia sets its sight on you.

Made it to Tijuana.

Plenty fans in the teeming streets wearing either Canelo shirts or the multi-purpose dual Canelo/Golovkin tees.

For the first time there are also many sporting spiffy Jaime Mungia: Campeon (champion) shirts. Munguia is a hometown kid so the locals have wisely jumped on the bandwagon.

No sign of those "Mexicans for Golovkin" shirts. Despite all the talk, Mexicans still revere Canelo. I think the Mexicans for Golovkin gear is more likely a Mexican-American thing.

Mexican nationals would never wear them, especially on Mexican Independence Day eve.

About 4 hours away from the main event and many of the bars appear already packed.

Not sure exactly but I think something in the $70-80 range.

No I am not kidding you. Chocolatito and Munguia are both 20-1 favorites. Those aren't good fights. Lemieux/Spike is a solid fight but also the sort of thing I can watch any weekend for free on ESPN or FS1.

The last boxing PPV I bought was Golovkin/Jacobs because it had a damn good undercard (Chocolatito/Rungvisai and Cuadras/Carmona) and wasn't outrageously priced.

Gave us some great KO's btw. O'Sullivan/Lemieux is not an ESPN-quality fight. O'Sullivan was on a good win streak and Lemieux is always a big attraction due to his monstrous power.

How is it not an ESPN quality fight? Ramirez/Orozco was just on ESPN last night.

We paid the 84.99 cdn for the event. Am happy so far with all the kayos! Lemmy is up for another 1 punch ko of the year again!
Love the lengthy commentary in the lead up to the main event.

What a great fight. Both fighters deserve credit for a tremendous effort. However, Alvarez just clapped back at all the negativity and criticism and beat Golovkin at his own game. He walked down in 7 of the 12 rounds.
Great performance from Canelo who should be in conversation for p4p no.1

No he didn't. GGG adjusted beautifully and jabbed Canelo's head off. Then hurt Canelo twice in the fight. I feel like I'm in the Twighlight Zone with these comments.

....see nothing to worry about, you're man and his team had everyone in their pockets again. The sport sucks!
