The Boxing thread

Crolla having a big after party in town later at the old cathedral arches.

He is not bad for a rag to be fair.
 
Agree mate what a fucking farce, had money on the other lad at 10/1 as well ha, had him 5-2 up, hand picked result before it started, rag twat
You got fucking robbed pal, it wasn't even close, I only gave the rag 2 rounds and if I was the other kid I'd lodge an appeal against that farce.
 
The scoreards had Canelo up at the time of the ko, disgraceful. Not a good night for boxing.
I am a big admirer of Canelo's but there is absolutely no way he should have been ahead on the cards.

If I am being honest at first look I thought the knock down looked a bit suspect - to be fair having watched it back a few times, he takes 3 heavy shots including the last on his way down and completely un-guarded.

I didn't think Canelo would take the power up in weight.

His punches looked heavy it just took him a long time to finally get there. It was a brutal combo. Krusher was toying with him for most of the fight and was cruising imo. Don’t see any way Canelo was up on the cards.
 
Canelo vs Jacobs was a much closer fight, to fight Canelo your footwork has to be perfect and Jacob's movement against Canelo was brilliant . Krusher didn't do much against Canelo, he looked exhausted, probably didn't have enough recovery time after fighting Yarde.
Don’t forget the reason he took on Krusher was Because out of all the light heavys he was the weaker option . I mean cmon do you honestly think he would go in with either Bivol or Berbertiev the answer is no . And also any time he has a fight which could be tricky then he takes it to Vegas and the safety of fishnets . I do rate canelo but there is too much corruption around him to be considered a great. He was 6-4 up on the judging so it was going the same way as the others anyway . Callum Smith had him sussed before the fight when they were talking about him fighting the winner . He just smiled and said canelo will drop back down to middleweight safety .
 
A proven fucking drug cheat who a couple of years ago was campaigning at 154 absolutely sparks a LHW - what a crime, what a bad bad day for boxing fans.

Kova showed his pedigree and boxed his head off and were he not a badly faded, borderline alcoholic who’d been press ganged into fighting way way too soon after his last fight he still might’ve hung on to outpoint him. At his peak Krusher would’ve beaten him up badly but then so he should he’s 4 weight divisions bigger than him.

But perhaps the worst thing was the scorecards, predictably corrupt. I had Kov 7-3 up. Outrageously two of the judges gave the 1st to Canelo - he barely threw a shot - and that set the tone.

Horrible outcome made worse by having to stay up until gone 6 so a UFC fight could finish before this could start

UFC has become more appealing than boxing and last night’s even at MSG was brilliant from top to bottom, sounds like the boxing was meh again? Golden Boy have gone head to head with the UFC before and lost heavily on PPV’s so decided against trying it again.
After winning last night Jorge Masvidal (UFC) said he’d fight Canelo in another crossover fight in the future so we might see another one similar to Mayweather/McGregor, you won’t have to wait up until 6am to watch that one. ;)
