    Yeah, I was not too excited to find out that it is, and lucked out when we heard a friend will have the fight. I am excited to watch the fight though. Should be some good action I think.

    Think so? I mean he was taking punishment for, what...10 rounds? I liked it when both men were egging each other on, but man...Canelo was throwin some thunder man. Angulo wasn't phased, but that much damage can't be good.

    I think a stoppage was imminent, maybe not off that one uppercut...although it was a pretty nasty uppercut, but it wasn't far behind.

    Couldn't understand a single word perro was saying at the end. Probably from all the punishment he took at the hands of canelo.

    he couldnt see directly in front of him, canelo threw the phantom right to the sky and angulo reacted, canelo came with the upper cut and caught him square, he had taken enough, just like that heavyweight who didnt go down, but went the distance and then he went into a coma, i doubt angulo is able to open his eyes today either

    I didn't think it was a bad stop. Canelo was dropping some bombs. A guy like Angulo was not going down on his own. The selfish and barbaric side of me never wants fights to be stopped, but I had no problems here.

    A mate of mine wrote an article with ten predictions in Australian boxing for 2014.

    Give it a read, he'd appreciate the traffic: http://monstasport.com/?p=1496

    I'm kind of buying into Bradley's sock excuse from the first fight. I think he'll (legitimately) win tonight. Hmm... I think it will either be Bradley by decision or Pacquiao by KO/TKO. But,I think Bradley gets it.
