Yep, you are right , I was forgetting that it was a Mickey Mouse belt. Don’t think I’ve seen a picture of him the last 2 weeks without it over his shoulder. Even Alvarez is saying it'll make him a 3 weight World Champion, not for me it won't. If you look at Ring Magazine's rankings, which are a better judge of the divisions than the various sanctioning bodies own rankings are, Fielding is only the 5th ranked British fighter in the Super Middleweights and at the back end of the top 10 in the world. Still, good luck to him.

Agree. But don’t think that Canelo would go up a division and fight someone as dangerous as Smith. Not saying he would win, but I think Smith would be confident going into the fight. Edited by Casual (14 Dec 2018 1.23pm) I think everyone would rather see that fight, except the two fighting on Saturday night. One for the belt and one for the payday, with a chance of glory to boot however unlikely it is. Alvarez wants to pop up, tick off a fight in his mega deal with DAZN, claim a "title" at another weight and then go back down when someone like Billy Saunders or Danny Jacobs is available. Maybe even a 3rd fight with GGG.

Yes probably, think he will try and break him down with body shots and slow him right down. Yep, one of the benefits of Hearn's deal with DAZN is we get a lot of the good US cards for free, some not so good too admittedly like the recent Miller fight but I still enjoy them, and this one is not even on at stupid o'clock either.

Didn't get to put my cheeky tenner on a Rocky KO when I was in town today. (I'm not so sure about those online gambling sites) Hopefully tomorrow.

I find the Katie Taylor slot is a good time to catch a nap, if it wasn't quite so late to start I'd probably have done that.

Watching the weigh in, Alvarez looked a lot more solid. Not surprising for a guy who was caught cheating a few months back. Boxing doesn't seem too bothered about PEDs.

You have to knock these guys out to win.
