[BoxingUpdates]

On Thursday BoxingScene learned that various social media accounts had learned that The Ring ****zine had learned that a source had learned that the super-middleweight fight between Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Terence Crawford was no longer happening on September 13...

Great reporting is what I learned and learned again

I seen rumors of the list of this four fight deal and it's not good at all. Digging up Charlo and Eubanks Jr is crazy. ( if this indeed confirmed).

What was learned from a friend who learned from another source that another source knew something he heard from another person implying that he knew something that etc etc

Lol. Makes for better conversation than multiple articles on how Inoue MIGHT LOSE TO A LAST MINUTE REPLACEMENT!!!! or talking about Clarissa Shields being the best sixth grade basketball player ever and how we all need to praise her accomplishments.

It's fun to talk about fights where upsets can happen and a good fight is possible. Not so fun to read article after article on silly BS, the pieces written to try and make implausible and silly things seem exciting.

Excellent piece of proper journalism. Light years different from bn24 / ********.

I’d guess Eubank, Sheeraz won’t happen in Riyadh as Canelo has said before he wanted to fight in uk before he retires. But agree with comments, the opponents leaked so far are shocking. Lighter fighters, fighter who have not earned a shot in any way whilst leaving out the obvious. Bivol is easily the best on the list and is seeming to be banking on him beating Beterbiev. Suspect that won’t be the case personally as I think Beterbiev was handicapped a bit last time with his recent knee. I think his stamina and early fight leg strength is going be a fraction better this time around.

Personally I’d like to see him fight the following 4 in this order

Gvozdyk at 175 or Morrell at 168
Benavidez at 168
Bivol at 175
Beterbiev at 175

Imagine that. He did that he’d go down as the best Mexican fighter of all time. Morales already thinks he is for some bizarre reason

Crawford in May to shut up all the delusional people who Think Crawford can win. Easy Pay Day.
Benavidez in September
Beterbiev/Bivol Winner next February

Who runs Barter Town? Canelo runs Barter Town.

Canelo using Jake Paul as leverage as well as threatening to kick his ball over the fence to get overpaid once again.

I see Bud and Nelo throwing no more than 20-30 punches a round and both their connect percentages going down. Will there be a rehydration clause? I doubt it. I don’t see Bud with the Power or nerve that Bivol has to take it to Canelo. Does Bud even risk jabs to Nelo’s body? How slow does this fight start? I predict both Bud and Canelo win financially and fans lose.
