Anyone else heading to the Canelo/Crawford fight in Vegas?…

[Quint]

Dominate you say? You must not know anything about boxing becuase two of the professional judges said it was tied through 10 rounds before Bud squeaked out a 115-113 win. 🤯

I know this is sarcasm, but judges have sucked for years.

I only fought for a decade plus, so my opinion certainly can’t hold the same weight as a corrupt judge.

 

[Flabio]

Media row and almost every expert I listened to didn’t think it was close. It’s hard to beat the champ and money machine in boxing.

 

[Kaladin]

The fight was never close

Such a great weekend…Love fight night in Vegas.

I actually have to admit, I inadvertently lied…I didn’t have eighth row seat, they were actually 18 rows up. I misunderstood my client. I actually think they were better as they weren’t on the flat, but headed up the incline/bleachers, which made for a great view.

On a sidenote, Max Kellerman has one of the most punishable faces in all of sports…and after hearing his commentary once returning to the hotel, I should’ve followed through on that instinct. But alas, I’ve spent two nights in Vegas jails on two separate occasions in my youth…and that’s probably adequate. 😏

Only thing possibly worse than Kellerman was that incessant mariachi music pre-fight…wtf?

Was the crowd as pro-Canelo as it seemed on tv?

Yes

you don't come off as oversensitive, you just are oversensitive

it's your default setting

absolute crybaby snowflake weakling

The “reactions” to this post should tell you everything you need to know…”potatoes, and “thumbs down” all around. 🤣

Good to know your lack of self-awareness, and douchyness travels across platforms…well done.

FFS…you’re such a massive tool, it’s almost incomprehensible.

Yes

And then some…Shit-load of Mexicans/central/south Americans. Could’ve been a massive hotspot for ice last night. 🤣

The first mariachi band was actually Bud’s entrance music. It was a local Omaha band that he flew out there for it.

His outfit and the song was tied to the movie Desperato. Crawford was El Mariachi carrying a guitar case to the ring.

“At the Tarasco bar in Mexico, Buscemi, an American man, talks about witnessing a massacre in another bar, committed by El Mariachi, a Mexican with a guitar case full of guns.”

Yes he was using it to troll Canelo… Same reason he walked in with a mariachi guitar.

Regardless…annoying as fuck.

I thought it was super cool that Bud was acknowledging and honoring his Mexican heritage. Just like with Canelo, you’d never know he was Mexican just by looking at him.

This is what’s wrong with boxing.

“Fight was even after 10 on two cards (how I had it), Crawford pulled it out by winning 11 and 12”

 

[Quint]

you know, just the other day I was thinking what this board needs was more shitty posters

I know this is tongue in cheek, but even though the way the bulk of the board communicates/posts is different than I’m used to (likely generational related) there has still been a pretty high level of decent football takes. Just the other day I was actually quietly mentally celebrating the ‘Decent -vs- Douche’ poster ratio. Now this one douche may be douchier than most, but the ratio is still pretty good.

Ring.com’s AI judge scored the fight 114-114 draw, so don’t be too quick to leave humans for computers. I also thought the 2 115-113 scorecards were wrong but a lot of the rounds were razor close so it’s not as bad as some of the other robberies I’ve seen imo.

I would agree. I think the fight wasn’t as close as the cards indicated because I thought aside from the body shots, Canelo very rarely connected with anything clean. But in the end, the judges got it right, and amazingly Bud has still never had even one judge score a fight for anyone but him. That in itself is pretty amazing.

He’s trying to be the next Canelo so it was partly to pick up from his fan base imo.
