I might change my mind again when I see him on the scales. Last time he made 168 he looked gruesome man. What's this fight at? 164?

164.5, and JCC Jr will definitely need that extra half pound!

Yeah you'd think so mate. He'll need every ounce lol. Is there not some sort of ridiculous penalty in place if he comes in over?

To be honest I haven't followed much of the build up for this one. I'd imagine there is since this will be the heaviest fight of Canelo's career and he'll want to mitigate the risk of Chavez rehydrating to HW

Yeah I'm sure they'll be all sorts of daft stipulations laid out! Seems to be common place for Canelo nowadays! I'm sure I heard there was some kind of mental financial penalty if Chavez is overweight. 100s of thousands for every pound or whatever. Can't remember the exact figures.

I used to quite like Canelo but until he mans up and fights GGG I'm going against him

Pretty sure it's a million a pound.

Jesus fukk! What a riot! He'll be training like a man possessed! They'll probably have to carry him to the ring and carry him out at that rate! Interested to see the weigh in.

Al Haymon just hugged @OscarDeLaHoya in an @MGMGrand arena hallway: most unexpected & oddly heartwarming boxing scene I can recently recall.

To big, to powerful h ll be able to take c shots but slow c wont be able to take his. Chavez knows what it feels to be punched by a 6'2 atrong lh, c all his life dealt with weak opponents either old mosley, small weak khan or feather fisted floyd. Around rd 10 all will be over.

I hope Canelo v JCC Jr turns out to be a good fight for our Mexican friends as well as us, they now have centre stage so lets see what they deliver.
The big question is Chavez Jr isn't it ?
We all know Canelo by now and are aware of his power and his general boxing skills improvement over the last couple of years.
Chavez Jr who has participated in some entertaining fights has also been burdened by a lack of motivation, hopefully on the big stage he can up his game and spirit and make this something to remember.

This is the fight that i circled as soon as i heard it because i think that this one is going to be a war. I predict that the fight will closely resemble Cotto/Margarito 1. I see Canelo landing dazzling combinations throughout but JCCJR will keep coming forward and he's eventually going to catch up to Canelo and we'll see how Canelo finishes that fight. I can see JR getting beaten badly early and being down huge on cards late when all the excitement will begin in the 11th and 12th.

The prince and the pauper. A dollar too far for Canelo/ Oscar?

If Jr wins, I will do 70 push ups, because I will be happy.
