Canelo always gasses but he can coast due to speed difference.

The funny thing is that Angulo will likely Outland Alvarez for the next few rounds and it'll be considered a cunning strategy by Canelo :barf:

Edit: or maybe not. Jesus, Angulo is getting rocked.

Kovalev is actually having a lot of fun right now.

And as I said that he gets cut :ohdear:

What I like about Khan: handspeed, fights using his height and reach as positive attributes.

What I don't like about Khan: Everything else.

:laffo: and he gets a nutshot. Bravo.

Were they seriously talking about Khan as a prospective future opponent for Mayweather?

His handspeed is still the type of thing that can make a Mayweather fight interesting.

Then the second half of the fight would likely make us forget all of that.

My main issue is I have a tendency to give credit to clearly landed punches regardless of activity. But Maidana is making it tough.

Cut = drama.

Holy poo poo Floyd lands so clean while Maidana makes it rough.

Maidana with a knee. Holy gently caress.

Mayweather really put some decent shots together that round.

That is what happens when actual clean multiple punches land. If Maidana could only do that back....

I'm taking people to task about rounds 8,9,10,11, and 12. I certainly give credit to Maidana for the early round activity (even if they weren't the clearest shots), but the takedown/bullrush really took away from his activity in the late rounds and he didn't seem to outland Floyd in any of them.

lmao Superman gonna get Homer Simpson'd

EDIT: Or not, but who would give him a chance against Kovalev or Hopkins now? Also, nice parallels with Marquez-Alvarado.

Kovalev would likely be an amazing fight while it lasts, but a Hopkins fight has the markings of a Jermaine Taylor situation. Plus while I think what Hopkins does is impressive, I don't like the idea if him being a "real champion" again.
