      Anyone see that Sadam Ali vs. Jaime Munguia fight? I realize it was a gross size mismatch (probably at least 2 weight class differential on fight night), but if the kid can reliably make 154, he seems like someone to definitely keep an eye on. He's raw and we need to see him against fighters his own size, but early returns are looking pretty interesting.

        We had discussed the fight and him a couple of weeks ago. As to his size Munguai said he would go to 160 next year seeking GGG or Canelo.

          LOL...I've been out of town a lot lately and so I had to binge watch a bunch of fight cards I had stored up on my DVR. The result is I lost all track of when any of the bouts actually originally happened.

          Hey, so what'd you guys think of that GGG-Canelo fight?

            I think the fight will happen at a 55-45% split in favor of Canelo down from 65-35%. If it doesn't Alvarez simply does not want the fight.

              Nine days away from Charlo-Trout. Interesting that Trout said the hardest he's ever been hit was by Lucas Matthysse while sparring.

                I don't know why this time around will be any different from the last time. I like Trout but he doesn't have enough power or a high enough work rate (as he is primarily a counter-puncher) to really beat top-flight guys.

                He has so much boxing skill and savvy, though, so he's hard to definitively beat. He sorta reminds me of late career Bernard Hopkins, who was so talented that he was really hard to decisively beat, but he also couldn't really beat anyone else (that was a serious contender).

                  Yeah, Trout can't get to the next level because he doesn't have the talent.

                  154 Charlo, on the other hand, has upped his game since barely escaping with a victory over Vanes Martirosyan (the guy GGG recently obliterated). Since that fight three years ago Charlo has found considerable power and placed himself among the 154-160 elites.

                      My thoughts exactly.
                      Canelo could easily tell DLH to take whatever deal GGG sets.
                      He definitely needs the fight more than Golovkin.
                      It should be 50/50 as I don't see Alvarez as the clear draw anymore. Not after his losing performance in the first fight or the two failed drug tests.
                      If he doesn't get the rematch, his reputation is tarnished for good.

                      IMO, Alvarez is the 4th best MW right now behind GGG, Saunders and Jacobs.
                      I'm not sure he can beat Charlo right now either.
                      So that means DLH will have to put on his best fishnet dress and pumps to dance Alvarez away from any serious contenders.
                      He'll feed him a steady diet of B fighters like Spike O'Sullivan or David Lemieux.

                        I want to. May purchase it as it sounds really interesting.

                          I was out last night and didn't get a chance to buy this PPV. (Only $30 CDN too).

                          Watched some online replays and man this looked really entertaining.
                          I'll most likely be buying the next one.

                            I think he clearly lost but if you draw with GGG under any circumstances it shouldn't hurt your fan base too much. Slight disagreement because I think Alvarez can make more money fighting the same guys that Golovkin fights. The Mexican fan base is pretty strong.

                            I would love to see those fights though.

                                I believe it's called "Bec Rawlings Bareknuckle FC"

                                I don't know if the company has a link, but here's the recap:


                                Undefeated 'champ' Gunn stopped a guy with a liver shot a few seconds into his match.

                                I've read the PPV numbers were fairly good.
                                This was part 1 of a HW tournament so there'll definitely be a part 2.
