***The Official Sanctioned Alvarez vs Fielding RBR Thread 12/15 DAZN***

[RizinSon88]

Ramirez is now moving to 175. Canelo is not moving up to 175.

Yeah I saw that quote from Ramirez shortly after the post...kinda sucks, because Ramirez was calling Canelo out earlier but I guess he figures that fight isn't happening @ 168lbs.

I guess I'm going to have to get this DAZN deal. I wanted to resist, but I guess it's hopeless.

I'll be sending this thread to be promoted with the main site if that's alright with you. And if you want me to stop asking for each thread and just go with it, let me know.

Canelo looks good. Almost like a natural SMW. We might not see him at 160 again if he has an easy time of it tomorrow.

That would be a shame imo. MW is more stacked. From a fans point of view, there’s definately better fights at MW

Face Off [timestamped]

Fielding has nothing protecting those sweet, sweet organs.

Canelo by liquifying Rocky's insides.

YEAH BABY

Our boy Saul gonna throw fast and hard tonight.

It's an 'interesting' matchup with Fielding's "rocky" nickname and the reasoning behind it - along with his height advantage.
But there's no chance he's going to win this.

Saul's got what, 10 more fights in his contract after this? They say that Danny Jacobs is gonna be ringside tonight... Any thoughts on him fighting Canelo in the near future @RR ?

 

[cottagecheesefan]

Just tuned into DAZONE!! to see when this starts, and there was a preview video/episode for the fight. Didn't realize Fielding had a title. Makes it a little more intriguing, I guess.

I assumed it was a lamb to the slaughter, especially after seeing Fielding's recent training videos. But after boxrecing him, he doesn't seem half bad. I thought I saw he had more losses, but he only has one. Granted, it was to Smith, who has a few inches on Fielding, who has a LOT of inches on Canelo.

The height difference will be interesting. Given that Fielding doesn't have many KOs, he will be looking to use his range, box, and jab.

Would be funny to see Canelo lose after signing that massive deal.

Wager your free (and worthless) shertard dollars above. Everyone should have some. If you don't and want a stack, bet $2 under "place wager" on this one and you will have a stack come Christmas to wager on here for fun (on various sporting events and many MMA bouts):

I put some fake money on Fielding given the odds and the fact that some are picking him in the poll (more than I expected to be sure). I'm going with Canelo in the poll, though. I don't think Fielding actually wins, but the odds were crazy (for a reason).

 

[PHATV]

Anyone know what time the main event is scheduled to start?

I'm thinking in the neighborhood of 11:00-11:30 eastern time? Anybody else?

The undercard starts in about 5 minutes and main in 2 hours. I’d think 10:00-10:30 because they are piggybacking Bellator on it.

 

[Seano]

This is an acceptable stay busy fight until Fielding moves on to bigger and better challenges.

Fighting a guy moving up in weight, Fielding is a joke.

Get that bum sergio mora out of there

Maybe, but he's right about this one.

Maybe, but he's right about this one.

I was only being sarcastic. Fielding has a puncher's chance at best. I still had to pick him once I saw another vote or two come his way.

 

[Smokes]

I think Saul carries Rocky til the 8th or 9th. I expect alot of fancy head movement and shoe shinning for the first 6 rds or so and then Saul will start walking him down with power shot to the body before getting the TKO.

Its Showcase Saul for tonight cause he putting on a show

 

[Philtard]

I still can't believe this fight is happening

To those who are about to die we salute you.
