Anyone fancy Angulo to beat Canelo tomorrow? Canelo 1/7 on favourite but I reckon El Perro can do the business, was very unlucky with Lara last time.

Angulo looked like a skeleton at the weigh in.

I doubt Golden boy let Canelo lose.

Obvious Canelo wasnt going to make weight then this catchweight appeared from nowhere. The odds are stacked against Angulo but I still believe :)

Whilst he did look gaunt there, normally if you seen guys that are drained they are reaching for water etc. after they step off the scale, he looked comfortable and at ease. At least thats what I'm telling myself.

Angulo's the first proper light middleweight who Canelo's fought and he hits the hardest too. Canelo likes to saunter through rounds working barely a minute out of three. He won't be able to outstrength Angulo like he did to Hatton, Lopez, way past it Moseley etc

But Angulo's limited, he walks up in straight lines, he isn't fast, so Canelo should be able to box him on the outside. But if Canelo hasn't really put the work in or if he tries to outmacho him he'll find that Angulo will be on him all night. Should be a cracking fight.

I'd love to see Kirkland get a chance against Canelo. He'd walk right through him.

I remember him winning prizefighter couple of years ago, just checked his record and he's still unbeaten but I can't work out his career.

He won the British title, defended it, won Prizefighter then went back to fighting 6 rounders except for a bizarre bout against former world champ nate campbell.

Just fought 8 rounder against a Bulgarian I think he was went distance but won it easy didn't seem to have power to trouble him

what a round that was

 

[conormcfc]

That was a beating.

Dunno why the crowd are booing Canelo like the stoppage was his fault.

 

[Santiago Street]

Not to a Mexican it wasn't !

Ref couldn't wait to stop it.

The punch that ended it was so telegraphed that everyone in attendance and watching on TV actually saw the punch before it was thrown. Everyone but Angulo that is.

He was getting shut out and taking flush shots. Doesn't help that he turned up with what seemed like the hand speed of Chris Arreola.

Good performance from Canelo. Lara next.

Just watched it now. Angulo fighting like the other camp had his kids held hostage!
