Is Gonzalez/Spike’s Bouts both 10 rounds ? Betting has them as 12 on most sites and this would void all bets.

Boxrec lists them 10 rounders.

I had a look elsewhere and it stated the same.

I can understand Gonzalez being 10, but Lem-Spike should be 12..

I agree this is must see. Think it will have very good action. Calling both fighters great? Very generous of golden boy to say.

He koed his opponent cleanly and brutally.

Kicked Fuentes' ass thoroughly. Vicious KO in the 5th. He took a measured approach in the 1st, landing some big shots at the end, and then from the 2nd round on he just beat the sh*t out of him until he eventually knocked him out.

I expect it (GGG vs Canelo) to be a completely different fight than the last confrontation. It won't be a shoot out, but rather Canelo trying to out-box the perpetual swarming machine GGG. Lots of running, slipping, dodging & slap boxing.

I think Lemieux vs O'Sullivan may just be the more entertaining fight. Lemieux sees the Irishman as nothing, whereas John L. Sullivan's descendant is full of confidence and better conditioning riding off the upset win he had earlier in the year. A man almost always performs better after such a victory, so I expect this to be an interesting and surprisingly competitive match.

Nice shot. Perfect shot. I knew Lem would KO him.

Eubank stopped him too.

I thought, O'Sullivan would stand a bit longer. A stoppage without full counting out was good, O'Sullivan was hurt badly.

Well there goes my prediction :lol: I hate it for O'Sullivan but this is a sport decided mainly by timing & moments, whoever gets off first is almost always the winner. It doesn't take much to knock a man out when he walks into shots, and Lemieux is a dangerous puncher though he's rather one dimensional.

What a knockout.

GGG/CANELO has alot to live up to off the back of that performance. That's what the people pay to see.
