either way its going to be an exciting fight to help Canelo set up for a bigger fight, i think Cotto and Martinez are in the works right now since Canelo chose to fight Angulo instead... I'm not going to count Angulo out just yet cus dude does have power, but he's never really beat anyone really good besides Joel Julio who i thought was kinda over rated anyways...
I see Canelo either giving him a boxing lesson and dominating the middle rounds like he did against Trout, but one big punch can hurt Canelo if he gets sloppy slugging it out.
hopefully whoever wins the fight, this sets up for a fight against the returning Ricardo Mayorga :laugh: lol jk

Yeah, Lara went down a few times against Angulo, but he kept on fighting and working the head, which helped him win the fight. Cotto and Martinez are SUPPOSED to fight and hasn't been finalized yet. http://www.badlefthook.com/2014/1/20/5328756/martinez-vs-cotto-negotiations-include-no-catchweight-full-160-pound
But Cotto said this also:

He wants to stay relevant so he'll fight Canelo any day. I just don't think that's the best fight for Canelo. He's young and if Golden Boy wants him to be a star, he needs to face some tougher talent. Not just punchers and punching bags. He got lucky with Trout that they fought in Texas and that Trout has little to no power. Lara is a better defensive fighter than Trout and has more power.
Mayorga is going to fight until he's 85. Is he done doing MMA?

yeah thats why i said its "in the works" meaning they are trying to work something out, but Martinez i think is the best middleweight around besides GGG (its a shame he's being pushed as HBO next big star but they cant air his fight coming up in February) i really dont think Martinez is the best fight for Cotto, i think Cotto needs to stay at 154 because thats his best weight since i dont think he can make 147 anymore... also I dont see him beating Martinez or Canelo but im sure its going to be a great fight regardless cus i was never really a big fan of Cotto throughout his career until he took his break, because dude always comes to fight and puts great matches, i mean he made the Floyd fight an exciting one and gave him the best fight any boxer has given him in years since Castillo...
I think the Canelo vs Trout had a few more swing rounds but i have Canelo alot of those middle rounds and the knockdown helped him allot i had it 116-111 for Canelo but i could see how some people saw it closer then what it was, but Canelo had the better shots that won him those rounds...
and the Trout vs Lara fight i remember watching it and thinking damn trout doesnt have it anymore or Lara is really that good to dominate a guy like Trout... so your right about that
as far as Mayorga goes, yeah he's done with MMA and hopefully gives us one last good fight win or lose he's the most entertaining funniest boxers ever... He's training in Vegas right now, I'm sure he will take a fight for a bottle of Jim Beam and a pack of Marbolo Reds... lol but he's always been one of my favorites just cus how much of a lunatic he is, I remember i use to knock out all my friends with him on Fight Night Round 2 back in the day
whoisthis:
GGG is the most exciting fighter to me right now. He's said he's willing to fight anyone from 154-168. No one wants to fight him though.
To me, Cotto had the best blueprint to fight Floyd, he was just not at the top of his game any more then. But, it's been a while since then and I think Cotto is really just a shell.
As for Canelo, dude looked so sluggish against Trout and I remember I had Canelo winning but by like a Point or so. I remember one judge had it like 118-110 or some crazy shit. I couldn't believe it. It was a very close fight and without the Knockdown, most people would've had Canelo winning. To me, Trout is a B+ fighter on his best day and if Canelo is supposed to be A+, he shouldn't let someone like Trout almost beat him.
Mayorga is definitely a character. I still remember when he said he was going to Fuck Oscar De La Hoya's wife or some crazy shit. Nut job for real.

at 4:07 Mayorga says;
''Hey, Vargas; i want you to know something. After i leave you a failure in 2 rounds in the ring, your mom is going to be the worst drunken whore in that sonafabicth of a country, you heard. Because you're not going to be able to maintain her you faggot.''
at first i remember i didnt want to buy this ppv because i just thought it was two washed up boxers trying to get their last pay day but then i remember watching the press conference and watching this interview and that made me buy it, and im glad i did it was a very entertaining fight and made me like Ricardo even more
yeah and i was all about Mayorga beating Oscar's ass, but that didnt end up happening and i lost alot of money on that fight lol
but watch all his press conferences and interviews, he has some classic ones he said to Mosley, Cotto, Vargas, De La Hoya, and even against the guys in mma, just youtube them and watch his press conferences for a good laugh
LMAO just listen to what dude says he's fuckin hillarious, and that slap at 9:00 almost put his ass down lol

then watch the end they act all cool, see Mayorga is a lunatic but's he knows how to sell fights win or lose he always says sorry for what he says, even in the Vargas fight afterwards i remember he said he didnt mean any of the shit he said, it was all to hype the fight and sell tickets, he basically does what Floyd and Broner do but 10x better
whoisthis:
^Classic shit. He was an asshole, but he was funny. I rarely wanted Mayorga to win, but when he was fighting Vargas, you would have thought I was his number 1 fan. I hated Vargas (and still do) with a passion. Victor Ortiz reminds me of Vargas more than anyone. That's why I don't like Ortiz either.
O.G A.Geesta'z:
dude same here... i hated Vargas and now i hate Ortiz, but Vargas was more of a mexican fighter then Ortiz ever will be, Ortiz has no heart and was a big let down, he was suppose to be the next Oscar De La Hoya and failed in the process, i hope Callazo beats his ass like Lopez did
