ILovecycling said:What did you expect?
There were couple of really good jabs,and in 7 or 8 round iirc it looked like Guerrero is may get ko(i mean not the end of the match u know,i dont know how its called in english,i mean like 1 counting)
Floyd always looks like he has lot of energy to fight even harder and try to KO the opponent in final rounds,but he always plays it safe way.Just control the fight,like he says.
movingtarget said:I didn't believe that he would win so easily. I can't believe how fast he is for a 36 year old. Guerrero was outclassed and only won the first round although the judges were more generous.

Kessler never had a chance from the beginning if that was her genuine scores. Froch won by 2 perhaps 3 rounds. But that was just pathethic.

ILovecycling said:Its like a dream,and this early,Im just surprised.
Merckx index said:For Floyd--who controls the decision completely--the sooner the better. Canelo is only going to get better, while Floyd at 36 is starting to slow down, and will continue to decline in the future. In a year or two, Canelo would have a very good shot of beating him. This September, not very likely, I'd say. For all the self-serving "I'm giving the fans what they want" talk, Floyd is always very calculating. He doesn't take risks. If he really thought Canelo was a serious threat to him, he'd find a way to avoid meeting him. If Alvarez were a little smaller, I don't think the fight would even be close--sort of like Guerrero. But his size and power make it a somewhat better match.
I'd still rather see FM and Pacquiao, even now, when neither is as good as they were a couple of years ago. But Canelo is about the next best choice. Sergio Martinez would have made a terrific fight a few years ago, too, but he's pushing 40 now and showing his signs of his age. If Matthyse beats Danny Garcia, he might be the next possible opponent.

movingtarget said:Did anyone see the Daniel Geale fight ? Geale seemed pretty disappointed with the split decision against him. I will have to check it out.
ChewbaccaD said:It was freaking amazing, and Barker deserved the win. He made a comeback in the 6th round that was one of the best I've ever seen, and then finished the fight much stronger than Geale. Geale didn't deserve the win in any way.
