it was a good fight, the mayweather fight was a bit boring maybe because of saul less than exciting fight.
Danny garcia vs matthysse.
wow, that was a good fight at the beginning, garcia definitely proved himself, by showing his strong chin and staying in the pocket especially after getting hit he stays, man what a warrior until matthysse bad eyes shutting garcia just became more confident and therefore harder for matthysse, but i think he only looked good against peterson, but since it was his first championship match, he just is not at the level as a championship contender, a lot of power punches garcia took them without much damage, man garcia has upped his game and shown another strength of his strong chin respect to him.
Mayweather vs canelo
what can i say about this, except mayweather as always using the skills and tactics to get the victory in a superb way.
mayweather is soo good at adapting, which he tries to identify certain weak points which he can expose and he found it in the early rounds, he found the jab step to the face a lot succesfull canelo just could not defend just like the round the glove to hit the head for cotto, he did step jab right to canelo's face, man he is good, also to the body, that was his key move to victory as well as his experience in dirty tactics without the referee and canelo being new to this scale he replied with dirty but not discrete the referee couldn't see.
i am dissapointed in how canelo performed, he had good speed and power in his punches but because he is a heavy fighter he didn't have the foot speed and agility that's why he was slow in trying to corner mayweather, mayweather was active in bouncing to avoid being cornered and sometimes i felt that mayweather let himself be cornered or placed against the ropes to give the fans excitement but it just weren't effective, especially the powerful body shots were not even a little bit to worry mayweather, he is tough, i think the weight didn't really would have affected him, i think even at weight of 154+ he still wouldn't have been able to catch mayweahter, when i see mayweather fight he always is specialised in one thing while making other aspects secondary, i.e. robert guerrero his main aim was defence, so superb as well as making the secondary attack which was also good, in this one he was all about movement, agile, quick and speed, not so much defence, which was good aswell.
so it was canelo's performance, which resulted in the fight being one sides, at the start i was excited but then all the way through he didn't produce much, i guess those rib injuring shoulder dislocating punishment he laid to his sparring partners, were not powerful enough against mayweathers body, he rarely got mayweather's head, which mayweather is excellent in keeping out of harms way, this was good as he had his uncle and father train him so i can tell training went well.
I had a feeling canelo would not perform that well, because he didn't perform extremely well against trout, only impressive fight was against josesito who comes forward unlike mayweather. i was laughing at canelo being cautios of every attempt of respect mayweahter tried to give him like touch gloves for low blow, he didn't want to fall for stuff like that which left them open like ortiz, mosley. lol
so this made me think, that the blue print dela hoya gave canelo was outdated, i don't know why they even looked at the cotto match, he was coming towards cotto and giving fans what they wanted and said he improved on that, he should have watched his most recent fights, but still he should have been ready for the foot speed in terms of movement, but i think they were dependant on one style of game plan that they didn't have a gameplan when the original gameplan didn't work out.
i hope his next fight will be against someone who is quick in terms of punches as well as quick in terms of movement, speed in footwork as well as power full punches and the only person i can think of is manny pacquiao or someone less powerfull but has the speed like amir khan.
but an exciting fight nevertheless especially garica and matthyse showing another side of garcia i didn't know existed and canelo vs mayweahter showing mayweather as always being able to find one move to utilize to help win the fight with the aid of secondary moves like combo's to keep the opponent from preventing his main move from being carried out to the end.
