Canelo handled the young boy as I predicted:

The shot he caught before the uppercut reset his hardware was sickening. That being said, Munguia has nothing to be ashamed of.

:lol: Knicks and Rangers post-seasons definitely have me distracted. Plus 301 only had two notable fights right at the top.

Aldo looked GREAT! The Erceg vs Pantoja was a fantastic fight. 125 lbs title fights keep delivering.

Canelo did his thing. That uppercut was filthy, and he just controlled the action despite the size discrepancy.

I feel like Canelo did everything that he could to knock inflict a brutal knock out on that kid. His beef is with Oscar, not Jaime :lol:

Definitely a weak card for a PPV event. I wonder what the numbers were.

Excellent fight. Inoue is must-see boxing. The time zones are the only thing holding him back.

Yeah I actually was shocked that Inoue got knocked down in this fight.

Dude had to go to the hospital. I hope he is alright. The way his head bounced...christ. I love boxing but this is the part that sucks. Those knockouts can lead to death

Its really is a scary aspect of the sport. I follow every Puerto Rican prospect I can. Right now, our hottest prospect is Subriel Matias. He's 20-1 with 20 KOs (nearly half of which are from fighters giving up on the stand), the one loss came shortly after he beat Maxim Dadashev who died shortly after the fight from brain injury.

It puts into perspective why so many fighters haven't been able to come out of the corner between rounds with the kid.

I remember the Dadashev death :noway: that was awful.

That's why I don't ever denigrate or disrespect boxers who step into the ring. Even if I hate them or despise them for outta the ring stuff (Floyd), it takes a huge amount of guts to step through the ropes because all it takes is the right shot to kill or permanently injure you for life. That's true for all combat sports, but I've been watching boxing since the days of The Four Kings and I've seen too many guys die.
