Bud Crawford's challenge will be the super-middleweight division, more so than Alvarez. A lot of pounds for a natural welterweight.

TKO Boxing launch as well, let's see what Dana White, WWE president Nick Khan and the chairman of Saudi Arabia's general entertainment authority, Turki Alalshikh cook up.

You cannot legitimately gauge where Canelo is based on a track meet.

Skull ran away all night. Sad part is that Skull seems to have some skill, he just won't use it. His reflexes and pop was good the few times he engaged.

As far as Bud/Canelo, I was shocked at how much bigger Bud was than Canelo in the ring stare down. Although I'll buy this fight this is not one boxing fans were clammoring to see. Canelo is flat out ducking Benevidez.

On another note, Mungia is going to be a problem with Reynoso in the corner. His offensive output was always impressive but now he has a defensive game to go along with it. He needs to fight Berlanga or Plant next.

Skull was so happy to lose this fight it made me sick to my stomach. Same with Charlo. Canelo can't find anyone who will actually engage. Maybe Bud will and it will be worth not pirating.

On a positive, the Bakole-Ajagba fight had some leather being traded between two behomoths. If Bakole was in any kind of shape he probably would have had a highlight reel knockout.

Looking forward to Usyk schooling Dubois again.

That fight last night was absolute dogshit. Credit to the commentators for calling it out, Scull wasn’t trying to win, he was just trying not to get knocked out. Half his punches he “landed” had nothing on them, like he was playing a game of tag. I’d be happy to never see Scull on my TV again.

Bakole looked great in the 4th (I think?) round where he just bulldozed his way inside and starting dealing some big shots. By the end, his fat arse was so gassed he was begging Ajagba to just come to the center and trade blows with him lol

Jumping from super welterweight to super middleweight to get a bag is certainly a choice.
