Who you guys got? Starting with the UFC.

Shane Burgos vs Billy Quarantillo - Burgos in a 3 round war by decision.
Frankie Edgar vs Marlon Vera - This is my toughest pick. Edgar could have one more good one but Vera is due for a break out win. I'll go with Vera by close decision.
Justin Gaethje vs Michael Chandler - The Khabib fight aside, Justin is a bad ass and complete fighter now under the tutelage of Trevor Whitman. Gaethje by 2nd round stoppage.
Rose Namajunus vs Weili Zhang - I'll go with Weili by 4th round stoppage setting up the rubber match in a trilogy.
Kamaru Usman vs Colby Covington - Again, under Whitman Usman has become the best fighter in the world. He'll get Covington out quicker than last time. Unless he just decides to carry him all five in order to punish him for being such a vile piece of shit.

Canelo vs Plant - People are really sleeping on Plant. He's gonna give Canelo his toughest fight since the GGG fights. I still have to go with Canelo either by competitive decision or 11th round stoppage. That being said, I would not be surprised if Plant pulls off the decision. But still, I'm sticking with Canelo.

I agree with you, this will be no easy walk in the park for Canelo, Plant is a tough SOB and won't give up easily, will go the distance I think and a split decision in favour of Canelo, see a rematch in the future...

Andrade undisputed at 160 - Ducked and blamed Oscar Cokehead Hoya
Plant undisputed at 168 - Got $40 million guarantee plus upside money from Plant's own adviser and manager

You can't make this stuff up.

Why would you watch this fight?

Viva Mexico!

Sorry, I don't know much about UFC for any commentary.

In sports skill recognizes skill. I'm assuming you never play competitive sports. Canelo barked up the tree of less resistance. You know exactly what I just said.

Wirey Olympic skill level southpaw vs short orthodox fighter with limited mobility fighting out of a high guard. Keep playing stupid. Thought you knew boxing.

Moron. I've forgotten more about boxing than you'll ever know.

Video is better than the fight. Notice he loves to duck. Saunders who took PEDs up the nose to duck Andrade loved to duck. Erickson Lubin also loved to duck.

I have $40 mil of Al Haymon's money Plant's muscle memory will kick in.

Canelo face-palmed him, and he started to leak. Love the scare tissue. Wait till the leather touches his skin.

Plant is fun to watch but his only fight in 21 fights is Uzcategui. If he had fought Charlo (power in the late rounds) or Benzavidez (constant pressure), he would have been properly tested for Canelo. Instead, he is about to get...

Then again PBC fighters only bum hunt until Haymon can get them a cashout fight.

BTW if Canelo doesn't fight 40 yr old GGGimmick for the 3rd time, PBC is lining up Benivadez and Charlo as his next opponents. One of them would have been ready for Canelo if they had actually fought each other. Easy $120 mil for Canelo and the fans are tricked once again, thinking he is better than Crawford and Usyk.

Benavidez is a fucking monster. I think Canelo jumps to 175 before he gives Benavidez the time of day.

Canelo by decision.

oldtimer1 · « **Reply #12 on:** November 06, 2021, 06:12:22 AM »

Plant by decision. He is going to jab and fight a very defensive boring fight. He will rack up the points but in no time in the fight will Canelo be rocked.

canelo is 5feet 3 145?

Fucks sake a blind person could do it

Plant’s going to be beaten harder than Craig Titus’ PA…

I kinda want Canelo to lose, he's a bit too full of himself lately

Canelo is gonna murder Plant

Darren Avey · « **Reply #18 on:** November 06, 2021, 03:14:01 PM »

Canelo is in his absolute prime. He'll ko plant in the eleventh

Moontrane · « **Reply #19 on:** November 06, 2021, 07:39:01 PM »

Canelo has this seeming inevitableness - force of nature - quality. I pick him for a late round stoppage.

canelo is about my moms size

Canelo is cracking me up with his jawing.

Good fight. Really liked watching Plant's defense, but Alverez is a little bull.
