Vicious KO from Canelo after a boring enough scrap up to that point. He's a remarkable fighter.

It was some KO alright, think he was behind at the time too.

Canelo now surely one of the greatest ever? Got to hand it to him.

Don't know enough about boxing to form a decent opinion but is there anything in the narrative that Katie is being protected and getting soft decisions cause its good for the Sport?

Tuned in for last few rounds of the fight and thought she wasn't as impressive as was being talked about but then again maybe she was really good at the start.

Also saw the fight against the one previous to this and thought she was in big trouble.

But as I say was looking for an opinion with a better boxing eye than mine.

I'm not an expert, but I watched the entire fight and thought she won comfortably, I would easily have scored it 7-3. Her opponent landed some good shots throughout the fight, but Katie comfortably out boxed her over the ten rounds. Taylor's eye looked bad, but it was caused by a clash of heads, other than that she was never in trouble. Her speed of thought and movement ensured a comfortable win.

Nah Katie was doing her work then getting out of the way while the greek doll could hardly land a punch I didn't think there was much in it although it looked like Katie was scared to get into a brawl this was probably her most powerful opponent to date had she connected with a few Taylor could have been gone.

An amazing rise through the weights. Surely he has to go back down a little though because the reach did look a bit of an issue in the highlights that I watched.

He's probably running out of opposition which is a credit to him (despite not winning the first GGG fight - He would probably put him away now in a trilogy).

Callum Smith or Andrade won't exactly sell.

Got to give it to Floyd, he knew exactly what he was doing when he put him on his record back then.

Could Floyd be tempted out of retirement for a Canelo rematch? Stranger things have happened. Would be a cracker

Would Canelo/Smith not be a fairly big fight in the UK? Granted smith wouldn't be the biggest name worldwide though.

Absolutely no chance. He beat a young and relatively raw Canelo back then. Would represent a massive risk to his record....but it would probably break every box office record in Boxing, if Floyd has been careless with his money, who knows.

Canelo has went left field before....never thought he'd take the Kahn fight, you could well be proven right. But it would probably have to be in the US like Fielding before him,

[JimStynes]

Canelo's legacy is tainted for me because of the drugs scandal but everyone else seems to have forgotten about it

[lurganblue]

Callum Smith is bigger than Kovalev and has an even longer reach. I just cant see that fight happening.

[gallsman]

Smith is a cracking boxer and would give Canelo a serious test. Revenge for the brother narrative could be sold etc

Not even sure this deserves to be in the boxing thread but what's the deal with these two YouTubers/vlogers or whatever they fcuk they are that are fighting tonight, PPV ffs.....

Young fella described it to me as like Messi fighting Ronaldo which I suppose I'd find moderately interesting  . Who are these guys and why do so many care?

Should probably give both dudes the credit they deserve. They are in no way professional boxers but they are going to give it a go. Both guys have over 20 million subscribers and bar Mayweather, Pac and Ali would any other boxer have that many fans?
