I don't think he's got much chance at all but agree that he may as well go for it. His volume is just not great enough and he leaves himself exposed when pulling out of the pocket, as he showed against Usyk in R12 and against Ruiz.

Only fighters I can see troubling Usyk are technically proficient pressure fighters like the Kronk version of Fury.

Chisora caused Usyk more difficulties with his pressure style than AJ did and I don't see AJ being able to teach himself to box that way when he's never done it before. Well, he might do, but he won't do it effectively enough.

Couple of ALL ACCESS episodes. Always surprised the apathy Canelo fights get on this forum?
How we see it going?

He’s not popular on here….gear and his ridiculous scorecard favouritism being the primary reasons. Which is fair to an extent. He’s a very good boxer despite that though, not his fault he probably needs better opposition to cement his legacy

 

[Deery]

After what he did to Calum Smith I don’t hold much hope for Plant, he’ll just smash through him not even worth staying up for.

In other news DAZN purchased the Micheal Conlan v Leigh Wood world tittle fight, I fancy Conlan to win on points, would be good to see another Irish world champion.

He'll probably stop him with a massive right hand late in the fight... after attacking his body for the first half

Does he even need to be that cautious only watched Plant fight once and he wasn’t that impressive.

The cheating, blatant favoritism and arrogant personality make him hard to like. It’s always felt like he’s being sold too and people don’t like to be sold. Now they are trying to sell him as this once in a lifetime legend which he really isn’t anything close to being.

On top of that I just find his fights impossibly boring. No drama. Just nothing.

 

[LDUred]

The remarkable thing is that he clearly has added a lot of muscle mass and yet he does not gas or get fatigued seemingly ever. This was particularly apparent in the training camp after Chavez Jr for the first GGG fight.

If the muscle had been added naturally (which is definitely possible), you would expect him to lose something on the stamina side. If anything he's gotten stronger in that area, too.

 

[Gringo]

I'm not his biggest fan, far from it, but god is he one hell of an animal. Just that little altercation with Plant, the reactions, insane stuff.

 

[Pscholes18]

Cry me a brilliant lovely river.

 

[christy87]

Nice uppercut by dirrell

 

[christy87]

Could plant win this, he’s been well able to handle this so far.

Nope canelo, canelod him, pity as he was fighting a great fight up until that

 

[cyberman]

God damn it Plant you had that

 

[mu4c_20le]

Pretty savage. Thought this would go the distance tbh

 

[predator]

Just clinical from Saul. Caleb did well though

 

[One Night Only]

God damn it Plant you had that

He never had it canelo just done what he does, pisses about for a bit then finishes it. Plant might aswell have been throwing marshmallows at canelo all night. No power.

 

[christy87]

Those judges cards are a disgrace.

 

[LDUred]

Plant used that shoulder roll to great effect. He can seriously box. Gave Canelo a tough fight.

Although it wasn't quite a barnstormer it was the best fight Canelo's been in since GGG.

 

[Kazi]

Canelo been goated

 

[DWelbz19]

Canelo been goated

Yep

 

[DixieDean]

Canelo has a chin of iron. Unless you're a heavyweight you're not knocking this guy down.

 

[RoyH1]

The amount of hate that Canelo gets is absolutely staggering. He's such a divisive figure.

 

[markhughes]

Makes me wonder if he can make it up to cruiserweight, that would be insane.

 

[simonhch]

The amount of hate that Canelo gets is absolutely staggering. He's such a divisive figure.

I think it’s because of (a) the outrageous decisions that went his way against GGG, and (b) being a two time drugs cheat.

 

[SambaBoy]

Him v Beterbiev is the best fight he can take. He's too powerful for anyone around these weights, and too talented.

I’d only watch that fight if it was with no stipulations. Catch weights and re-hydration clauses designed to handicap the opponent aren’t my thing. If it’s a genuine fight, I’d say that or Bivol are the only Canelo fights I’d watch. Didn’t bother to watch even 10 seconds of this past one.

 

[JP77]

He's absolutely batshit crazy but in fairness he's always competitive and willing to fight anybody, great character.

Kell Brook to finally fight Amir Khan in supposedly the biggest fight in British boxing.

Only the five years after anybody would have given a feck, too.

 

[Kazi]

Surprised Khan would agree to this. I always called it "the great escape" in the way he would avoid this fight.

 

[Deery]

Money Grab both men will retire afterwards pointless fight but to line Khan’s pockets even more..

 

[Port Vale Devil]

Can’t see many forking out £20 for 2 over the hill fighters so maybe could be on DAZN. Not sure who the fighters promoters are though.

 

[JoaquinJoaquin]

I honestly don't think he would. Too much to lose, as great as he is.

Eubanks v Williams is on regular Sky and not PPV which is brilliant and a real good fight to boot…

Thats a good, competitive scrap. I’ll tune in. Tomorrow I’m going to Munguia vs. Rosado, which promises to be a real battle.

Love Munguia should be a great fight, haven’t got DAZN though so won’t see it will get highlights on Sunday morning, let me know how it goes and enjoy yourself..

Del Boy has his wild side but I think a lot of it now is an act. He's actually being quite cute here and making Hearn uncomfortable.

He knows that he is being used as a gatekeeper for a bigger fight (Parker Whyte II) and he just wants a fair a shake.

He essentially lost the first fight due to the better work clearly coming from Parker. He actually landed more, and he dropped him. I do believe that he could legitimately have won that fight and that Joe didn't do enough.

Everything that he says about the Helenius fight is spot on. He did clearly win that one and it was a shocker.

To be honest, I would like Joe to win this because Parker/Whyte II would be an absolute barnstormer.
