i think for the casual fan both are easy to root against champs are always easy to root against. I don’t think anyone has said they’d like to see Canelo beat Bud just that they’d like to see Bud lose. I’m a huge Bud fan but I’m also a big Canelo fan. I think technically Bud is the better Boxer but IDK if I’d think (everything being equal) he could beat Canelo.
32 Didn't really follow boxing other than big events till 07-08ish in college. College football consumed so much as a kid growing up in the 90s, was honestly shocked to learn mega fights didn't always used to be on Saturdays which absolutely blew my mind. Learning Tyson-Spinks was on a Monday and Bowe-Holyfield 1 was on a Friday just seemed crazy to me as someone who only say big fights on Saturdays competing with every other sport.
stuff I like to learn and see. boxing is slowly becoming soccer to me where I’m getting older and it’s something I love more and more and replacing other stuff. I’m dumb as fuck on it for the most part so it’s just learning. 100% comes from TC because it’s obvious we back our own from Nebraska. It’s why we will jump up and argue the 3 of the biggest in the world in women’s volleyball, wrestling, and boxing.
Not sorry. Gingy can’t cut the weight. And by Cant I mean doesn’t want to. PFP Bud would fuck Canelo up just like GGG did.
Guys are you all high? You must be, because I know for a fact that everyone on this board is +/- 2 years of my age, definitely.
Porter is a good ass fighter despite losing. Thought he was winning the fight. I get the dad stepping in if he thinks he's done which is what he said post fight. He's going to protect his son and I can't really blame him
Thrilled for Bud, that moment and a win like that have been a long time coming. No one can doubt him now, you don’t fluke your way into beating Shawn Porter. Big respect to Porter, who brought it every single time out and didn’t duck anyone. You got a ring and some gloves, he’d come fight. A hell of a career, and we’ll be seeing a lot of him on TV I hope. His dad probably made the right call, better to be too quick with it than too late, because you can’t go back once the big shot lands. Didn’t like calling his preparation out post fight, that’s bullshit. And you’re his trainer, if he didn’t train well that’s on you too.
I didn't get the training call out by his dad. Porter looked good, fought well, looked to be in great shape and never looked gassed. Kind of bizarre
I almost wonder if Shawn not being able to train like he used to is unfairly seen by his dad as laziness or skirting corners. Porter is 34 and has been in the ring with Spence, Thurman, Garcia, Ugas, Berto, Broner, Brook, Alexander and Diaz twice. Almost all of them were wars. At some point, the body just can’t do what it did 5 years ago, and I can at least understand a dad not being able to see or admit that.
Almost like it was excuse making. Porter was good and I thought he was leading the fight. He got caught. It happens
I’ll admit that I would probably root for Canelo despite liking both(would root for Crawford v Spence ) . I didn’t even like Canelo early on in his career but he has gained so much respect from me through the years w how hard he works & how active he is willing to be as a fighter . but it won’t happen bc don’t see Canelo going that far down in weight again

The awful tattoo after a big win or loss is a boxing warning sign as old as time. Teo’s back tat certainly qualifies.
