i just re-watched canelo / floyd and it's a much different fight to what i remember - probably because i can hear the commentary and the crowd reaction instead of the general atmosphere of wherever i was at the time. i could see how - if you listened to the crowd pop - you could score the fight much closer for canelo then the near-shutout i had it if you scored the 'bodywork' canelo was putting in in the first six rounds. the commentary team and the crowd were delighted at canelo's work to the body but nearly none of them were scoring shots. it was an utter domination by floyd. first time through i scored it 119-109, this time i had it 118-110. really good fight, really watchable. floyd stood in the pocket for much of the fight but had canelo so gun shy because of the insane accuracy of his counters. extremely good poo poo. sort of miss floyd. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg2QFkXNkWg

I think I'm coming round to Canelo tbh. Obviously the bullshit with his scorecards can leave a bad taste in the mouth, but he's a pretty engaging fighter to watch, and seems genuinely willing to go after big fights against risky opponents. Could he be accused of ever ducking anyone? Genuine question, I've only been a very casual boxing fan up until the last year or so.

He definitely delayed the Golovkin fight for a year, going so far as to drop a belt instead of fighting GGG, who was the mandatory opponent at the time. He's an excellent fighter really staking out a big legacy right now.

To save everyone else the hassle, at the current exchange rate, that's $32 and a quarter.

The continued success of $75 PPVs is the biggest mystery of boxing to me. How many people even have 5 friends into boxing enough to chip in and split the cost? These aren't megafights either.

GalacticAcid posted:Anybody ever gone to a movie theater to watch a fight? I've done it for quite a few (a few Mayweathers, basically every Canelo fight while he was on pay per view) and enjoyed it. Either the theater is empty and it's like watching it at home a big screen or the place is packed which tends to give a good-but not overwhelming like being in an arena-energy. Assuming you are talking about Wilder-Ortiz II Saturday I would think it's more the latter but I would recommend it either way.

I'm home sick and bored as poo poo. Is the Wilder Ortiz card worth ordering if I'm just a dumb mma fan who rarely watches boxing?

It will be poetic if Wilder gets beaten up tonight after he, Fury, and Joshua all avoided making the big fight happen. Joshua gets KOed, Fury gets his face turned into hamburger by a nobody... Wilder deserves some comeuppance.
