fingers crossed for quick knockouts on the undercard so we can get this on before anything goes wrong

here's my overly specific prediction:

canelo gets dropped early, rallies in the middle round, ggg takes over late for a late stoppage or ud.

remember that this is just the opinion of a stranger online...

i'm just going off what it says in the op tbh. i'm already flagging so it probably will end up being 5am because all of the undercard fights will go to points

You uk or European watchers, I always thought you'd set an alarm to get up and watch, rather than staying up. poo poo, I hope you get a good show for your trouble.

i've tried that a few times and i either sleep through the alarm or stay awake stressing that i'll sleep through the alarm

Do fights start based on a schedule or is it more "okay that fight ended let's start now"?

more of a 'ok that fight ended let's start the next one in 25 minutes for some reason' tbh

Kinda interested to see the adjustments for the rematch.

GGG knows he can walk through the best Canelo has to offer, Canelo (after watching tape) should know that he owns GGG in the middle of the ring.

ggg goes to the body more and stops him imo

lol @ everyone who after the may/mac fight heard about this fight and figured "hey maybe I SHOULD check out the actually important huge fight coming up" lol

I mean I'm a boxing fan in general. I'm not going to be completely put off like people trying to get into the sport based on a few recent fights. I haven't followed the modern stuff closely in forever but I was hoping this would be an all around awesome moment coming together. Of course it gets mangled up. Boxing is loving depressing and it doesn't have to be. It is genuinely draining to follow most of the time.

the best way to watch boxing is to check in the week of a fight and check out at the final bell, imo

people overrate canelo's power. his highlight reel knockouts have come against khan, a chinny welterweight and kirkland who'd previously been knocked down by a jab. he couldn't even wobble an old cotto.
