Six months (retroactively) for Canelo - he can fight in mid-August. Gennady was hinting at retirement a year ago - I think this gives him a reason to stick around, especially if he wins this fight next month.

My wife dvr'ed this weekend's matches and I am currently sitting through them. She specifically told me to watch the Lara/Marrero match. If you didn't watch it, you should seriously check it out. You won't regret it and it won't take any effort on your part. All you need is 2 minutes.

So Fury is about to have his second come back bout.

Not a huge boxing fan and dislike Fury (Issues with homosexuality etc...) but concede he is/was an excellent boxer and as a result I am intrigued and after the last farcical "bout" this one has piqued my interest.

Walking into the ring now.

Fury won on point and now has a bout with Wilder set up

THAT will be interesting

There is an aura around Fury, I can see him going further than 2 round but I can see Wilder beating him unless he gets massively sharper.

I would love to see him get clocked though. Totally and utterly embarrassed. Don't care who knocks him off his self perceived perch. I'd just love to hear that Fury has had his clock cleaned.

sorry, i should have clarified. by "gets," i meant "wins."

i imagine the fight will go a bit longer - maybe not much, though.

I've yet to watch the Golovkin-Alvarez fight from last night, but yet another high-profile event in which the resulting lead story is poor judging is just what the sport needs.

Yeah, Meltzer didn't even review it for his website, which shows you how bad it probably was.

It was a tricky bout to weigh. There were about 20 of us watching it last night and we were fairly split over how the points were being awarded. All I am certain of is that my GGG loving wife has spent all day commenting on Canelo's PED history being to blame.

Feel for triple g he won both fights by at least 4 rounds but judges and de la Hoya screwed him cant see Canelo agreeing to a fight in a neutral venue with fair judging

Ugh, this sucks.

HBO, for the most part, did a brilliant job covering the sport - Lampley/Merchant/Steward was one of the best broadcasting tandems in the history of anything, and I'm not even sure Larry was awake for most of those years. Max Kellerman is one of the best analysts and advocates in a sport in desperate need of them.

Sorry to see them leave it behind.

It'll allow ESPN to put Kellerman on their own ESPN boxing broadcasts full time since he's already in house for them.

Wasn't even a bad fight from Pedraza - his surviving all 12 rounds was remarkable. Just gassed quicker, and was outclassed.

joshua should handle wilder, if it ever happens. i don't think it would be a close fight.

unfortunate result, really. only seen highlights/knockdowns, but i'd expect Joshua to fare much better in the rematch in london, and get back on track to fight/beat wilder.

deontay wilder's faced one good opponent, and drew with him. he won't be able to hide forever, regardless of what he vomits on twitter.

Joshua clearly didn't prepare properly for this and was expecting it to be a cakewalk.

He "should" have beaten him but was clearly beaten by the better guy on the night.

Like Tyson and Lewis, he's be caught short by a "lesser" opponent and will come back stronger, maybe this means he won't underestimate an opponent again.

I did think Fury's response was very good considering he appears to have no time for Joshua too.
