So hyped right now. Really hope it's a good even fight.

Sightly off topic but on fb I've noticed alot of Canelo hate by other Mexicans. I'm of Mexican descent but born and raised in the states. What is the hate attributed to? Malinchistas or what?

Back on topic I'm rooting for Canelo and think he will win.

Someone wrote a great article that my answer your questions

[Imp the Dimp]

Canelo will win on points

 

[kikiribu]

Both guys are pretty easy to like but one of them seems a bit more easily approachable and is always smiling/seemingly in a good mood, and that's GGG. I could see how some people might like GGG more personality wise.

 

[Tubie]

Diaz won every round, but Rivera showed a lot of damn heart, specially considering how little time he had to prepare.

 

[CrocoDuck]

Did anyone else get awesome GGG/Canelo PSN avatars through some promo on FB?

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Gonna be a while until Canelo v GGG. Fun fights so far though!

 

[Wallach]

I think Russel is gonna cook that dude.

I'm Mexican-American and I love Canelo, but I fucking HATE Oscar de la Hoya.

He ended Julio Cesar Chavez's run, who was a folk hero to every Mexican and Mexican-American.

Plus Oscar could have been the next great Mexican fighter (regardless of being Mexican-American) to pick up Chavez's mantle, but once he got the big money fights he just coasted and was only in it for the money. FUCK HIM.

The dude walks out to Seven Nation Army, what's not to like?

It's next, 15 min or so.

I did. It was a microsite mini game type thing.

No, is the promo still going?

 

[Syphon Filter]

Dam the fight is actually here, so hyped.

 

[TheCrow]

Vince McMahon is here! Lol

Man this is why I'll always love / have huge respect for Mexican fighters. Warrior spirits for sure

 

[PR_rambo]

Fight up next they're expected to be in the ring in twenty minutes

 

[kikiribu]

That is a good question. I have no issues with Canelo. I'm Latino, and know he means no harm since I understand everything he's saying perfectly. Maybe the fact that he doesn't like to speak English bothers some people as well? Idk. Seems like the Jose Aldo effect.

 

[Levito]

Dana White is apparently there (instead of one of his own events).

 

[Tubie]

BIG

DRAMA

SHOW

 

[Beefy]

Fuck off Khan

 

[Obliterator]

Dana White is apparently there (instead of one of his own events).

Also Dana put up a dual promo for both tonight's UFC event as well as GGG vs Canelo.

Don't forget that Zuffa Boxing shirt. I think Dana plan on promoting boxing fights soon

 

[Tubie]

I'm sure he's a fan of Boxing too and no fan of Boxing would want to miss a fight like this, even more so if you have the resources to actually watch it there live.

 

[illmatic22]

I would not want to bet this fight. Too close for me.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

German broadcast says Golovkin is the GOAT middleweight lol

 

[HiiiLife]

Amir lol.

10 more minutes.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

It's next, 15 min or so.

15 minutes plus the usual entrance shenanigans (which I enjoy lol). Gives us time to drink with my buddies either way.

Oh definitely.

UFC TV has a future for all sports.

 

[Tubie]

oh shit anthems already

 

[The JT]

Wowed they started really earlier, love it. This should be the standard.

 

[Rubenov]

Canelo. Make $ .

 

[Oscar]

Dana White is apparently there (instead of one of his own events).

It's a free UFC tv card, he doesn't always attend those. If he ducked a UFC ppv for this then that would have looked suspect.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Is AC Slatet in the ring? Shits about to get real.

 

[voOsh]

GGG looks serious. The weight of a NATION. Hype baby.

 

[Syphon Filter]

I am in heaven.

 

[illmatic22]

Mayweather Macgregor started too late I was dead tired

 

[Fox318]

He wouldn't have put a PPV up against this anyway.

UFC does good business with cable companies and a dual PPV day would fuck everyone.

 

[Beefy]

This guys voice hurts my ears

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

If GGG loses this, that means Canelo won.

 

[Turin]

I always hate this part.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Marquez retired officially, dude is a legend.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

My mom just threw shade at what Lucero is wearing. We have the first "no tiene verguenza" of the night.

 

[Junior Asparagus]

Was still kinda hoping for Borat on the anthem.

 

[caffeware]

My mom just threw shade at what Lucero is wearing. We have the first "no tiene verguenza" of the night.

Your latino?

 

[Fox318]

You have a counter?

Bruh my SO's fam ragging on her rn. "Mucha pechonalidad."

 

[Imp the Dimp]

How is this anthem so long

 

[Tubie]

If GGG loses this, that means Canelo won.

Neither of them loses if they draw.

 

[Darkman M]

Show time boys!!!

 

[Fox318]

Neither of them loses if they draw.

Then they draw again.
