    Rocketboi, Fathom events was showing this at Marq-E on I-10 and other theaters. Also, there will be almost no bar that doesn't show it. Almost all will. Some might not even charge.

    Cotto was not in jail for a while. :)

    Told y'all.

    canelo won clearly. maybe not as wide as the judges had it though. i'm guessing they gave all the close rounds to Canelo so maybe i can see it that way. i'm not sure Canelo punches as hard as it looks at JMW. Cotto was hit with some clean, hard shots and didn't budge. But Canelo's boxing looks to be improving.

    I have no doubts that GGG vs Canelo will happen, its just when. It doesn't seem like hes interested in going to 160 to fight GGG in a title fight. My guess is Canelo drops the title and will fight GGG Sept 2016 at a catch weight. GGG will beat Canelo.

    And how about that vargas-miura fight? man that was some gatti-ward type of fight. Anyone catch rigo? zzzzz

    The winner is definitely guaranteed to fight Deontay Wilder next year.

    Interesting first four rounds, Klitschko hasn't really found into the fight. 2:2 or 3:1 for Fury in rounds.

    Klitschko about to lose this if he doesn't win by KO. But maybe the judges are bought as always in those kinda fights.

    I'd be shocked if Fury gets robbed, but I see it coming.

    Wlad was having massive issues with Fury's movement. Sounds insane, but he was never able gauge the target well enough to feel comfortable throwing the right.


    Well a rematch is in order and the purse is gonna be fkn insane.

    I think there'll be a rematch first. Either way, think both Fury and Klitschko would wipe the floor with Wilder, he's too inexperienced and not technically or tactially sound to fight against the greats.
