Comments Thread For: Canelo's Trainer: No Weight Restrictions To Be Placed on Makabu

[Oracle01]

“No [there won't be weight restrictions], but we will see how the negotiations play out.

Are people so easily fooled by political spin? notice the BUT? That is sort of important. It means the weight limit is still open for negotiation which means there will be one. The fan boys are so easily fooled.

Canelo is moving up the equivalent of 4 weight divisions (32 lbs) to fight a top 4 cruiserweight. That deserves respect. Some people act like he's fighting the 50th rankef cruiser in the world.
If it's so easy, why isn't anyone else doing it??

Can you provide a link? If not STFU.

A link ? Where have you been ?

After the "tainted meat" incident with Canelo, and the "tainted tea" incident with Valdez, I don't put any faith in the WBC doing the right thing anymore!

those are a light felonies. Mexicans don't do anabolic steroids at the star level like RJJ or Toney's Nandrolone. They are better. They don't need that extra edge.

Casuals and Alvarez fans cheer this fight, but most boxing fans want to see Canelo face a real threat, not an unknown African fighter who got demolished in less than 3 rounds.by Bellew.

Bellew walked around 220lbs. He's a guy who used doses of Oxilofrine to make weight at LHW.

It’s not technically a weight restriction if the new Cruiser weight limit is 190.

it’s a great fight at the weight Makabu has been fighting at which is 200 but if the new weight is 190, Canelo hasn’t got to negotiate anything, the WBC has already crippled Makabu.

[Slowhand]

It's better that Makabu comes in his regular fighting weight. It means he'll be consistently slower than LHW's, as his footage shows. Canelo has a good lean back while still on his feet for counters. That 1-2 feet head rolling back is what Canelo and Reynoso will gamble on, range. Make Makabu miss a lot which I believe he will. Makabu's team will strategize when to counter Canelo and bait him, but that's almost an impossible task to do given the speed of everything happening. Make Makabu pay by doing mistakes. This will be Canelo's toughest fight. Hitting a 220lbs mobile is not the same as the Heavy bag. He'll be able to get his shots in for sure, but Canelo has broken his before making mistakes with Liam Smith. Now granted he was severely dehydrated for Smith he lost some resistance with bone strength, it wouldn't be as bad now. Still, Canelo's going to be throwing rocket launchers on a huge heavy bag like Makabu. He needs to be careful not to injure any hand which could easily happen.

And who is this 220 lbs fighter? Makabu usually weighs in clearly under 200 so I guess he doesn´t really cut weight. But true, he is 15 lbs heavier than Canelo and his left hand is no joke. Canelo is just too slippery for Makabu and will be countered to submission.

Don't be surprised if possible shills are on top of this post very soon after I write it to try to shut down what I believe is the truth, but I'm going to tell you my opinion anyway. Weight and all this stuff like gloves, referees, scorecards, etc, are, just my opinion, an intentional distraction from the fact all these fights are fake, pre-choreographed WWE matches, just with boxing instead of wrestling. Which also explains how someone with no power to walk down a welterweight at 152 lbs, or KO top 154 pounders and middleweights, could be "fighting" at 200 lbs in the first place. And explains how many other fighters besides Canelo have more power at higher weights vs better opponents than they did at lower weights vs worse opponents. I know some people will attribute that to PEDs, but that is IMO another soap opera story line to distract from the fact the actual "fights" themselves are all fake, and pre-choreographed. As if a boxer who takes PEDs at a high weight wouldn't have also taken them at a low weight, lol.

But that's all I'll say about that because I don't want to get sidetracked onto soap opera debates that serve as distractions. It's better to stay focused on the point that matters, that the fights are fake, pre-choreographed, and scripted. No one is actually getting hit with the fists inside the gloves, only the padding and the soft wraps (yeah yeah, I know "plaster wraps" is another IMO fake soap opera storyline that's come up the last few years. Let's stay on point here). Then, they snap their heads and make the vaseline and water fly off their face to make it look real. But to me it's fake. As Michael Caine says in The Prestige, are you watching closely?

You are the most insane person who has the ill-advised decision to ever lay finger to key to let lose the worst ideas that have plagued humanity from your head. You are a scourge to common sense and logic.

[BarfyMan362]

It's not about the weight, it's about the quality of the opponent.

Let's say a top middleweight fights a lousy journeyman heavyweight, the middleweight would win.

We should give Canelo a break, and only get on his case if he doesn't fight Benavidez by the year 2023. I see Eddie Hearn said 'what does Benavidez bring, he has no title?'.

Well Eddie, Benavidez brings a very substantial threat, a difficult challenge, that's what he brings, an addition to one's legacy if Canelo beats him.

When Roy Jones did it he was praised! Both fighters have titles, sorry Makabu isn't as good as the all-time heavyweight great John "The Quiet Man" Ruiz

Makabu been a Cruiser for like 10 years.
