I just don't understand why JCCJ had to finish the last round like that. He fought a much better fight and won convincingly this time around. I genuinely felt embarrassed for his family sitting ringside. Seriously, I wonder what his father and wife were thinking watching him act like that. The guy is such a clown. The Texas crowd should have been at least 90 percent pro-Chavez. Except a good majority of them were actually rooting for Vera.

Yet another soft touch for Kid Chocolate. This guy has fought more than 50 times against mostly limited opposition but has only 23 KOs.

Canelo and Angulo is not a PPV worthy fight.

Of course it isn't but I guess we'll find out what kind of PPV draw Canelo is on his own. I don't think it needs to do a whole lot to be a success for GB.

It will be a great action fight and will likely provide more in ring action that any other PPV that is upcoming.

Molina is out of PPV... and thank god... he should always be off TV.

I am loving the Linares Arakawa fight...

He should fight Danny Jacobs.... there is no reason why he shouldn't fight him.

I'm not a fan of a fight with Jacobs either ( I think Jacobs should be developed more) but at least Jacobs has legitimate punching power. This Czech guy doesn't.

It's a shame that Figueroa is still suffering injuries from his fight against Arakawa because those two definitely need a rematch.

Although this is a pretty good fight as well.

It was a epic fight but there was a clear winner. Figueroa is going to get bigger fights soon.

What great undercard action....

Blame Rasho · Post #312 » by **Blame Rasho** » Sun Mar 9, 2014 5:15 am

Main Event time...

Angulo is actually bigger than Canelo... 174 to 170...

Blame Rasho · Post #313 » by **Blame Rasho** » Sun Mar 9, 2014 5:26 am

Angulo looks like he has nothing on his punches..

Didn't Canelo fight Mayweather at 147 or 154?? Now fighting at 170??

Never mind, just read about it on ESPN.

Well that was a good stoppage... Angulo had nothing...

GS Warriors 1 · Post #318 » by **GS Warriors 1** » Sun Mar 9, 2014 6:19 am

Tuned in late to this card as I went out to dinner, didn't see the opener. I streamed it but it had no sound, although the picture quality was solid so I kept it.

All the fights were basically one-sided, I had Santa Cruz and Linares with shutouts and Canelo maybe only lost 1 round entering the 10th. Having no sound, the stoppage looked a bit awkward even though I knew Canelo was whoopin his ass. Gathering now that the corner was close to stopping it anyway, so in that sense I think it was good.

skflives · Post #319 » by **skflives** » Sun Mar 9, 2014 2:49 pm

I'm guessing Canelo fights Demetrious Andrade or Carlos Molina (if his legal troubles are cleared up) in September before fighting the winner of Cotto/Martinez at the end of the year.

Butch718 · Post #320 » by **Butch718** » Sun Mar 9, 2014 7:32 pm

I don't want to see either fighting him. Canelo should be fighting Lara, but his handlers will keep him away from that fight for as long as possible.
