I have a feeling a close Canelo-Mayweather fight will end in a draw, meaning a huge rematch payday for everyone; and both remain undefeated..........

O yer ! Havent even had a beer yet !
Couldn't help myself, just had £25 on Floyd by ko, at 5/1 wins me £150 (£125 profit), so if Galahad, Garcia and Floyd wins by ko I win quite a bit for a £50 stake !

I think Garcia will win as well. People seem to be creaming in their pants over Matthyse after the Peterson fight, but anyone who's seen more of him knows there are plenty of holes in his game. In fact he's quite basic and a bit crude. Garcia is very compact and well schooled and his timing is top notch. His timing makes up for his lack of speed.
Canelo ain't slow. And Floyd will be wearing the big boys gloves; it;s gonna be even on speed, both landing right crosses. Floyds is Powderpuff though, Canelo's makes guys the size of Trout do the Bambi.
If you think Canelo is going to win, that's fair enough (I hope he does win). We're all just guessing at the end of the day. But don't spout nonsense to help your argument. The speed factor will be nowhere near even.

An educated guess but i agree.
Ive seen a few arguments saying canelo is faster (whaaa?) and aslo canelo will bring pressure (like when?).
Sometimes a hunch comes off - i knew hopkins would outbox pavlik, many on here thought otherwise. Flip side i knew, without any doubt, jamie moore would beat ryan rhodes...
Want my told you so... Garcia points (makes it a boring fight) mayweather points (makes it a boring fight).
By 6am our boxing hard ons will look like a bookies pencil.
Hope im wrong, as i want matthyse by KO and mayweather by stoppage.

Mayweather, by possible stoppage, though a UD looks likely.
Mattysee by decapitation (hopefully).

Garcia to me is abit of a brawler with poor head movement which spells disaster but apparently he was a decorated amateur who won many championships.
This is such a test & they say he's ready to move to welter which also spells danger as matyhse is a scary puncher looking fwd to this bout! Garcia could stand up to the power & exploit Lucas like a Sanchez v Gomez

The draw has been dropping all day. COral is now 14-1. I'm fairly sure this is the lowest I have ever seen a draw in a significant fight or at all

There you go I was spot on. Its a shame I don't bet anymore. Those predictions were pretty obvious to me though. I wasn't going out on a limb, not even with Garcia. He should have been favourite.
Canelo never had a chance. Size means nothing if your slow, a bit one dimensional and pretty basic.

Good picks mate. If im wrong then im wrong, fair enough. The Garcia vs Matthysse one was a tough one to call to be honest but I just felt he was underrated to a large degree. Garcia that is obviously.

L.C wrote:Floyd to win in an unexciting fight. First few rounds will go to Canelo, then Floyd will work out how to land more and take less. He'll be comfortably ahead by the end of the 10th, and relax a little in the last two leaving Alvarez to maybe take them on activity. 7-5 in rounds, Scorecards may be close, but it'll be quite clear who the winner is.
Garcia to beat Matthysse by close decision. Garcia has a decent chin, he can box clever and avoid the big shots from Lucas. I think he might take a knee early, but I doubt he'll be in any real trouble during the fight.
I don't think it'll be a FOTY candidate, though I'd love it to be. I can see Garcia fighting on the back foot.

Floyd will give Canelo a lesson. It won't be pretty for the Mexican and I can see Floyd making him look stupid.
Galahad will show he levels above the good quality dickens.
3 good calls
