Was travelling so did not see it live but saw it the next day.

Few things:
-Haney won most (all ?) of the rounds in which he did not get knocked down and factor in the point deduction for Garcia and its a close fight despite the three knockdowns.

- As (sort of) suspected, Haney is proving chin-y and will have trouble with anyone with legit power.

- Haney's camp completely botched the Garcia weight issue. I figure it was ego/arrogance that allowed this to happen. Not having a re-hydration clause in the contract and essentially allowing Garcia to miss weight (granted, Garcia had to pay Haney for this but still) and then have no re-hydration clause is crazy. Garcia was much the bigger man between the two in terms of weight (guess Garcia learned after Tank had that clause in their fight).

Fury-Usyk on May 18 (finally)
5 X 5 card on June 1 will be one of the better overall cards in a good while.
Canelo fights in early May (too bad its not against Benavidez).
Inoue fights two days after the Canelo fight.
Josh Taylor/Catterall fight in late May.

I dont mind not doing a rehydration clause so long as you make weight. But doing that AND moving forward when he didnt make weight, that was a big mistake. Haney sucked himself down to 140 and garcia did not have to drain himself and that was a huge advantage. I think if garcia had to make weight that fight is a draw or possibly a haney SD. But either way Haneys camp messed that up big time. I think a rematch at 147 would be very interesting but they have to both make weight otherwise its just not the same.

So much for a legit Garcia win over Haney.

Canelo-Munguia tonight. One preliminary fight left. I think Munguia has a chance

Very cool to see mariachis playing the Star-Spangled Banner

All Canelo, it wasn't even close.

All Canelo, it wasn't even close.

It was pretty fun through 4 rounds. Munguia wasn't the same after the knockdown

All Canelo, it wasn't even close.

No surprise, he’s an all time great.
