I predicted rd6 by bodyshot, was only wrong on the rd. No challenge, as expected. They could have had callum smith or groves if they really wanted a fight. Not sure how the regular wba title makes one a world champion when there is a real
Super world title. It should be like wbc silver/ diamond. Anyway, another predictable result and waste of time. Andrade, jacobs, charlo, saunders. These are the guys to fight for your legacy
Couldn’t agree more, Jason. If this silliness continues, DAZN will lose me as a subscriber.
Brave Irish and good boxer but Canelo was too much of adversary for him. Canelo’s body work was formidable and quite precise. Easy walk in the park.
During all the fight i was like: wtf! Should have jab and stay away from canelo. Move non stop and jab, straight right, hook like non stop too. Going body to body was really d*mb. He or his trainer should have understand this after the first round. Since the second round i was hoping the official stop the fight. Ok you can’t beat the champion but at least try to do more round and learn something. It was like he was trying to lose fast.
