Plenty of higher profile names dotted about, but all in all this is a poor card.

How many does this sell in the UK? More than 5k?

Bit careless not to include a Mexican city on that poster.

I know what Mexicans are like, they will take that as an insult, particularly given they can usually watch Canelo fights for free on Azteca 7.

Just woke up and caught canelo throwing 5 punches in round one

All the big fights gone the distance so glad I didn't pull a all-nighter

Another dull fight in a weekend of lack luster fights.

Rnd 8 has just started . I.m gonna use this 3 Min opportunity to go for a shit
Don't want to miss the commercials

Turki has wasted alot of money this weekend lol

You made the right choice. I've got dishes, vacuuming and a load of washing done and don't feel like I've missed anything.

Scull was happy just being there.

Gosh the atmos was so dank, ya wonder why they even hold the events there.
It probably cost a huge whack of money for what was a fairly dull event.

Another boring card.

Turks needs a new matchmaker

At least he has had the sense to make the Crawford fight in Vegas. Whilst personally I am quite content to watch fights in silence, most Western fans need social proof. If people aren't whoopin' and hollerin' the Yanks won't be interested.

What weight is he fighting Crawford at?

I feel we need the crowds especially to voice poor refereeing and bad decisions.

and the gasp after a replay of a blatant nut-shot

Scull was absolutely pathetic. He made no attempt to win the fight and was petrified of Canelo.

The mission from Scull seemed to be to try and give the impression he was cool, calm & confident while at the same time skirting around the ring and avoid mixing it up at all costs

I've seen too many of these Cuban amateurs completely found wanting when they have to come out of their comfort zone.

The boxing world only has so many Canelo fights left before he hangs them up...we can ill afford the likes of complete time wasters like Scull

100% gold!

I'm sure some Saudi apologist will be along to tell us that you are wrong

Really dull bill
