It was easy to miss, but Cotto did fight at a different venue the same night as Mayweather/McGregor.

Khan was trying to get a fight with Pacman earlier this year.

Before the Cotto and Kirkland fights, some people thought they had a real chance to win, especially Cotto.
You are right. My bad on Cotto.

It seems to me that many fighters are overprotected nowadays (money?). GGG had been ducked for years, right? I may very well be misremembering, but I don't recall Hagler, Hearns or Duran having this problem.

Hagler didn't get his first title bout until his 50th professional fight (at which point he was screwed out of the decision). After he won the title the following year, Leonard ducked him for years before finally agreeing to a fight.

Canelo was a clear favorite over Cotto (-300) and a heavy favorite over Kirkland (-900).

GGG hasn't been ducked for years. Y'all are hbo brainwashed. He could've moved up at any time. It's just not a deep division. Great fighters move up. Especially ones with murderous power.

I have no advice on bets. No clue what happens tonight. Hardest fight to predict I can remember.

Canelo straight up counterpuncher strategy so far. Focusing on GGG’s body. GGG stepped up use of left hand jab in round 3. GGG starting to pursue a bit more.

Anyone have a decent stream. Buff and livesportsfeeds (the two recommended by reddit) are buffering to the point of unwatchable.

4-3 Canelo. GGG on aggression in 7. Interested in seeing if the body work pays off for Canelo

5-4 Canelo. 9th was the best round of the fight GGG final let go with power punches. This is a good fight
