I love Linares style but I think Garcia would knock him out. 46 fights is a lot of miles on his chin which is already a little weak. 10 years of hard fights too.

Lomachenko totally clowned him. Rigondeaux may have connected 5 times.

Claimed a hand injury. Guess he hurt it when they touched gloves?

Guys, if you haven't seen the two quarterfinal bouts for the Super Series cruiserweight tournament, check them out. Usyk vs. Briedis and Gassiev vs. Dorticos. Both very good fights.

Wilder wins, but doesn't look so great doing it.

Meanwhile on HBO Kovalev destroys another opponent.

They don't have USADA rules though so the fight is still on. He's blaming Mexican Cowmeat btw.

The Mexican meat is a legit excuse because this has happened numerous times.

Yeah the NFL warned their players about it:

Does he gain an advantage from eating these based futuristic steroid meats?

That's what Luis Nery blamed his positive test on last year.

Anyone watch the Top Rank Boxing fight on ESPN the other week? Oscar Valdez fought half the fight with a broken jaw but still won. Meanwhile, Scott Quigg (who came in overweight and was ineligible to win the title) suffered a broken nose himself. Just a filthy, grinding fight in the rain.

I think he has a last ditch hearing on April 10 to prove that it came from the beef, although it doesn't look like they are confident of success considering that they are offering refunds to the fight.

Important to note it's cancelled because Canelo withdrew from the fight. I'd say his team is hoping they can clear this up and avoid a suspension so this was the smarter play.

Hair test shows that Canelo wasn't intentionally taking clenbuterol. You can't cheat those either.

Went to the fight. We were rooting hard for Linares, glad he fought well but lomachenko a beast.
