Meanwhile the boxing world saw a draw in the 1st fight and a close but clear win in the 2nd fight
Viva la MEXICO
Well, just to be a stickler, Byrd saw the first fight as a 10-2 whitewash, and Trella was the only person in said boxing world that saw Canelo win the 7th round (including Byrd!), so those judges only represent the 'boxing world' in only the most technical sense, the 'boxing world' knows what it saw, but anyway, bygones....
I really hope Canelo goes for it, unifying at 160 and then 168 on top of everything else he's done would be one for the ages, and I wouldn't bet against him being able to do it, and at 28 he's got time. Definitely preferable to going the cash route which would be GGG III (although I guess he could do both).
Why the first thing yall say is somebody gonna get stopped? Canelo only stopping C level fighters.
But he is still winning against A level fighters like Jacobs and GGG. Charlo is B level which is why he is only fighting bums at 160. He and Andrade should fight each other, winner gets a shot at the MW king.
Spare a thought for Jermall Charlo. Yes, he was unimpressive against Korobov, but he is the no. 1 contender for the WBC title, the mandatory, and just doesn't get a shot. Charlo would possibly make a better fight of it than Jacobs did against Canelo.
That's Charlo & PBC's fault if he doesn't get a shot
Not Canelo problem

Byrd's card was an embarrassment for boxing. There should be criminal consequences for that degree of fraud
Nonetheless the outcome of a draw was correct. Round by round scoring of 1k+ fans had it 6-6. GGG won the event in the first fight, but it was a draw.
Rematch was basically the same except roles switched. Canelo did just enough for 7 rounds imo, but a draw wouldn't be a stretch.
Anyone - any and all boxing media or trainers and fighters - that had GGG winning the rematch either DKSAB or cannot score a fight. Best outcome for Borat in rematch was a draw
I was excited for wilder vs fury, I was excited for Spence it vs Garcia.....nothing else about the sport has had me excited recently. Boxing is in a bit of a lull right now
