  3. Holy fuck this fight is amazing. I have it even so far.
  4. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! Shove that maple syrup down their throats!
  5. Oh, Canada! Take this trash out. Just a shame there isn't another team in CONCACAF to push La Cucarachas out of the WC.
  6. So I guess Canelo read my post. Dude is trying to put a fight together with Ilunga Junior Makabu at Cruiserweight. Though this article seems to suggest it might be fought at 190 instead of 200. Still, that'll be almost 50 pounds Canelo has walked up over his career. Absolutely nuts. https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/32648380/canelo-alvarez-gets-wbc-approval-fight-illunga-junior-makabu-cruiserweight-title Canelo Alvarez could chase a title in a fifth weight class. At the WBC Convention on Wednesday in Mexico City, the organization approved the request of Canelo's trainer and manager, Eddy Reynoso, to have Alvarez challenge Ilunga Junior Makabu for the cruiserweight championship. Alvarez, ESPN's No. 1 pound-for-pound boxer, became undisputed champion at 168 pounds earlier this month with an 11th-round TKO of Caleb Plant. A win over Makabu would make Canelo (57-1-2, 39 KOs) a five-division champion. Alvarez has never competed at cruiserweight, so Reynoso needed to petition the WBC to order the title fight. Now that the fight has been approved, negotiations can begin, and if no deal is struck, a purse bid will be ordered. "I know ... what he has done with the heavyweights he spars with, and that is why we asked for the fight," Reynoso told ESPN Deportes' Salvador Rodriguez. "We know that [Makabu] is strong, but Canelo can beat him. ... Many may say that it is crazy, but they also said that it was crazy when Canelo was junior middleweight champion and we were looking for middleweights, super middleweight, light heavyweights. "I have a lot of confidence in Canelo. He is very strong and has many qualities, and I know that he is going to win that fight." Alvarez, 31, fought once at 175 pounds, a November 2019 TKO victory over Sergey Kovalev to win a light heavyweight title. He unified titles at 154 pounds and 160 pounds before that. The cruiserweight limit is 200 pounds, but the WBC recently introduced an 18th weight class -- bridgerweight -- with a limit of 224 pounds. In a corresponding move, the Mexico-based organization is reducing the cruiserweight limit to 190 pounds, the same weight when the division was introduced in 1979 before it was increased by 10 pounds in 2004. Reynoso told Rodriguez there have been some offers to fight in Congo, Makabu's birthplace. "Let's see if something can be arranged for that to happen," he said. "It is one more challenge. Just as we took the challenges at 168 and 175 pounds, now we are going to cruiserweight." Makabu, ESPN's No. 4 cruiserweight, has reeled off nine consecutive wins since he lost the title to Tony Bellew via third-round TKO in 2016. He is promoted by Don King, who last month announced a deal for Makabu to fight Thabiso Mchunu. However, WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman claimed Mchunu wasn't ready to fight on Jan. 8 as planned. Makabu said he was excited about the prospect of fighting Alvarez. "I'm feeling very happy because I fight the best boxer in the planet," Makabu, a 34-year-old resides in Johannesburg, told Rodriguez. "Canelo has been beating everyone ... but now he's fighting one tough man. "I'll fight anywhere. Even if they put on the fight in his own house with no public. I'll fight."

    Lucky to escape with a point there. We are phenomenally bad when Gerg starts playing his special lineups.

    Is there some reason the crowd is booing Ochoa or is it just the back pass to him that's getting booed?
