@heyitsmarcosv@Turki_alalshikh Marcos, I assume that the most probable reason is the combination of Canelo’s price and Bud’s performance against a 154lbs champ with far less pro experience than himself and Canelo. I would like to see Bud v. Virgil so long as Virgil is healthy and shines in his upcoming 🥊.
@SteveKim323 Heart says, GGG split decision. If GGG got on that old Canelo regimen, I say he batters Canelo’s face and forehead to 7-5 or 8-4 decision (regardless of judges). If not on that regimen, gases late and Canelo outpoints him. If wrong, all respect to winner.
@SteveBoxman Only if Bivol decides to make the rematch at 168lbs and it takes a toll on his body. Canelo and AJ were outboxed, out-thought and out-gunned in the ring. AJ still does have that “if he lands a bomb” chance but I wouldn’t bet on it.
@SteveKim323 Pathetic is the best way to describe those score cards. At least they didn’t rob the kid as many suspected. Boxing won tonight. The true “loser” ends up being GGG who will be that much older next time he sees Canelo if at all now.
@SteveKim323 I would prefer to watch Bivol v. Canelo or a highly unlikely matchup against Bertivieb. Charlos, Andrade, etc. are not getting the fight nor do most of these fans want to see it. Which is a bit comical because those same fans payed to see Canelo fight “what’s their name?” Lol.
@SteveKim323 Steve I can’t get enough of David Benavidez. The kid is great in interviews. Asked about Charlo, Canelo, Bivol and Berteviev, and no stuttering or pausing on his part. Just a straight, let’s get’em all in there type answers. Old school boxer right there. Ur input?
Wow look at all that “body-real estate” Canelo has available to 🪴 his 🥊 and harvest from. Calum jabs—>Straight right to the ribs from Canelo... Calum throws a right—>left hook from Canelo = 😵.
@SteveKim323 Steve, do you want to watch a Spence v. Pacquiao or Crawford v. Pacquiao fight at this point? I love 👀 PAC since Barrera 1 but at this point I don’t know about the little man vs naturally much much bigger man. Am I crazy?
I agree Steve. I guess that makes us old. I mean, why would we want to pay $75+ to see the best v. the best at their best, instead of paying $75+ to see “the best?” vs “it makes sense”. Smh!
I have no issues with fighters getting as much money as possible -- that's what they are here for -- but if they start to do it as a shield against other boxers, well, that becomes problematic in my view. Are they here to fight or compare financial portfolio's? #boxing
Steve, just curious, after so many years covering the sport that you love, does the all to repetitive excuse of not enough money or this and that keeping fights we all want to see gets boring or annoying to you? Or are you just so used to it and accept it as part of the “🥊game”?
Personally, I'd love to see Tank vs Haney, really interesting style match-up of two very talented young boxers. But it seems like all they are going to right now is see who has the biggest bundle of cash they can put to their ear like a phone. #boxing
@TeofimoLopez You had that work before young fella..lol. Just say you scared to put your belts where you mouth is..🤷🏽♂️ Get your money before you fight Haney though cause that will be an L! Your team knows this!
@Dak Hey Dak, from a big Giants fan, the hell with the rivalry, sending you my prayers my man. Hopefully you recover quickly and get the financial security you deserve. I’ll go back to wishing you 🏈misfortunes once you’re back on the field you love, but until then all the best.
When Teofimo is focused and all's good, this young man is spectacular. I've said it since his second pro fight, when the #TeofimoExpress was launched... #boxing
Props to PBC for including Bud in this one!
At the moment my rating is C, B, A.
Unfortunately, these guys will all likely fight only once this year, and not against each other. :(
