The fight might be more competitive than we think in the first half. Khan will certainly be as focused as ever and Saul still has those heavy feet.
I still think Canelo's knocking him out, it'll just be later than I initially thought.
In any case, we better get that fucking GGG fight in September.

Holy shit that is huge for me, i want to see this badly! I doubt khan wins but you never know with his style. If khan can win he might convince floyd for a fight.

Kahn ain't winning shit. Canelo is walking in at 170/175 that night and Amir was getting bodied by much smaller dudes.

Prescott caught him with my favorite combo in boxing; straight right left hook. Trinidad probably did this better than anybody in his prime. So beautiful!Cans at lightweight were chicken dancing Khan
RIP Khan

yea he did look suspect there but the two fights before that he was pretty impressive.
At this point all they care about is making as much money possible out of Canelo.
No confidence in him to actually win and dominate tough fights even after he completely destroyed Cotto.

Irish gangsters armed with AK47s open fire at boxing weigh in

Fucking crazy. This MGM promotions is said to be funded by an Irish
crime family and this was a retaliation hit after they had murdered somebody from a rival family a few months ago.
1 killed and two injured.

GGG vs Wade
so this is why they pushed the WBC mandatories. For Kahnelo and GGG vs Wade. Hmmm I wonder who will be the winner out of these fights..

Anthony Joshua to fight Prince Charles Martin for IBF title on April 9th.
Typical boxing robbery, Chudinov won that fight.

Thurman-Porter postponed.
Thurman was in a car accident, apparently. No significant injury, but some stiffness or whiplash.
This fight is never going to happen, is it?

I am so pissed. I spent a fortune on tickets and a hotel room. I don't have a clear answer yet as to what is happening regarding refund, etc.

Our cup runneth over this weekend.
Frampton-Quigg tomorrow. It's on Showtime at 5pm EST. This is going to be a good one.
Crawford-Lundy and Verdejo-Silva are on HBO a few hours later, at 10pm EST. Both shitty matchups but Crawford is always a treat and I've enjoyed watching Felix begin to realize his potential.
Lastly, Santa Cruz is taking on Kiko Martinez the same night, on Showtime at 9pm EST. Martinez is going to get smoked, but it's always a pleasure to watch Santa Cruz unload. It would be great if they could make something happen between Santa Cruz and Loma or Walters (though it looks like these two will fight each other soon).
Choose wisely!

Fun boxing weekend.
Frampton-Quigg is god-tier, but it's a shame that the others aren't taking on better opposition.

Crawford fighting tomorrow. Anyone watching it?
He did some FS1 boxing shows last year before the launch of the PBC and he was pretty good. It's crazy how much boxing there has been in the US in the last 2-3 years versus 5 years ago. It's a great sign to me that all this new talent is coming into the sport to keep up all the new shows.
The Crawford fight is a total mismatch in terms of talent, style, and physical attributes. Total cherry-picked opponent. I am much more excited about the two Showtime cards today, specifically Frampton-Quigg.

Quigg looks much better when he closes quickly
Surprised him once or twice in that last round

Crawford solid again. I hope Pacquiao gives him a shot should he get past Bradley.
