UFC 306 at The Sphere | Canelo beats Berlanga | Plant TKOs McCumby | Joshua vs Dubois Prediction

[@KernowekTim]

Berlanga did not shame either himself, his team, or his people. I think that his fight with Canelo did him far more good than harm; longer term. I hope he pushes on to great successes.

[@robin212212]

berlanga was fighting not to lose instead of fighting to win. Not too impressive imo.

[@rican_921]

@@robin212212you either a casual fan or hater, either way you know nothing about boxing. Fighting not to win was what Charlo did. Berlanga stood there infront of Canelo and traded, did not run; he just didnt have the tools to win. He didnt throw one single uppercut, did not set up any shots, no feints etc. Berlanga was just too green, and right now doesnt have the tools to beat a guy like Canelo.

[@Yo_mama-yx2tn]

​@@robin212212 That's what Charlo did, Berlanga tried to go toe for toe

[@lazzi2462]

Agreed, he did better than everyone expected, even though it was still basically a shutout. He came to fight, traded punches with Canelo, Canelo actually had marks on his face. He also got Canelo frustrated multiple times, they both started fighting dirty lol. I think those arm punches eventually got to Berlanga though, his power was nonexistent later in the fight, so I assume his arms were probably hurting from blocking a lot of Canelo's punches. This fight will only help Berlanga get better. After watching it, I think Munguía vs Berlanga would actually be a great future fight.

[@BigBadBillyGATEZ]

​@@robin212212that's because your opinion is based on your level of intelligence but trust us, he was impressive to the point he will be the Future Champion 🏆

[@joeblough261]

McCumby was winning on the outside, didn't start losing until Plant made it an inside the fight! And he did get credit for the 2nd knockdown, but i agree the 1st was legit and he got ganked out of it

Teddy is my main man but I disagree with his assessment on the Plant fight. He said Trevor needed room to work, but that he then was initially winning inside, when in fact it was Plant turning it into an inside game that won.

It's fair to say that Canelo is the greatest Mexican fighter over 160 and one of the best in his era.

Merab had perfect distance control in the suga fight he was all the way out and didnt let suga offense get started the whole time and got in with td fast

It was good distance control, all out or all in, and he is relentless. Great takedowns away from the fence made it a chore for Sean to get back up. Sean showed holes but think he can come back.

I am so glad I bought UFC 306! I thought it was a good card from top to bottom. Did not disappoint. I disagree with the assertion that the main and co-main were boring. Nope. Speaking as a jiujitsu guy, I appreciated Grasso’s constant submission attempts, as well as Valentina’s wrestling and striking to counter Grasso. I was also biting my nails the whole time during the main event. I was waiting for Sean to fire that right hand that was always locked and ready. And, at the same time I was praying Merab to keep moving to find an angle for the shoot. My daughter and I enjoyed the PPV for the sphere. Its too bad Dana is already saying no for a repeat next year. Glad I was around to be a witness, albeit from my couch which was still very much entertaining. I had no problems giving up $70 for that early bird special price…

[@AttorneyBailey]

Garcia received more sympathy than Oliver McCall, the only person seemed concerned about the person not the boxer, was George Foreman.

[@CheckoSama]

I appreciate Teddy giving Canelo his flowers. Alot of the hate Canelo got (still somewhat gets) from the Mexican fanbase and others is he doesnt/didnt brawl. He was/is not really a brawler. He has not gotten dropped and had to go through adversity. The people want to see him go trough more adversity. I think this is why Barrera, Marquez, Morales, Chavez, Finito Lopez, and many others are so respected. To succeed through adversity is the Mexican spirit. To succeed because of perseverance and heart is the Mexican Style of Boxing. One of the reasons Canelo has gotten my respect is because he is punching way above his weight class and at times making it look easy. Canelo got hate for not fighting Mexican Style (Brawling), so he switched up with triple G the second time. He "brawls" alot more now too. He got hate for not fighting smooth operators, and he defeated the likes of Saunders, Plant, Charlo, Jacobs. Also, he fought Bivol the most technically sound fighter. He continues to fight strong young undefeated fighters. He has proven himself time and time again. I hope he fights Benavidez, a fight which I think he wins. A hard earned win, but a win against David. After that I do not know how much more he can do other than officially moving up to light heavy. This man has basically fought everyone.

[@MatthewWilliamGuerra]

If he fights and beats Bivol in a rematch and even unify/go undisputed at 175 then I think he will go down as top Mexican fighter ever over Chavez

[@gorillatactics8994]

i dont agree wit teddy's assessment of berlanga. i felt this fight was a learning experience , however, he didnt let his hands go enough for me. he fought timidly, he didnt take the fight to the older fighter( remember he said that he was gonna knock canelo out in 6..yeah right). i also believe canelo didnt try to truly knock the young bull out because he didnt press the fight foward like he usually does when he wants to punish/ knockout an opponent

[@nelp.950]

All does Mexicans Champions where lightweights, is different once you past the154lb. Canelo is the firts Mexicans to dominate in divisions no Mexican has ever dominate in. Plus Canelo has had to carry the traditional burden has delt with a social media criticism has had to be not just face of Mexican boxing but boxing overall. Teddy is cherry 🍒 picking, to many blind spots when using comparisons, and here's an example. Sanchez fought a Zuma who had 13 fights and got 2 weeks notice while traveling from Africa in the Garden😂 Lamatta knock Robinson out ring😂 there's so many examples. Canelo is not only the greatest Mexican fighter of all time,but he's in the top 20 of all times. Another thing the knock out don't come cause, fighters have prepare for Canelo there whole carrier😂 Endless video to study, like in football baseball and basketball, preparing for you.

38 and i grew up watching chavez senior aka "El Gran campion" and to me he is the best mexican fighter but Mexican fighters Like Barrera, el terrible Morales, juan Marquez were amazing mexican fighters as well. I was re watching the Marquez vs Barrera fight and holy shit was that an amazing fight. Both fighters not backing down going at it. I don't see that from Canelo, he dukes out great fighters to fight boxers he knows he can beat. The older mexican champions fought everyone.

[@TheOohwayy]

If Crawford is serious about going up to 168 against Canelo, I'd like to see him vs Lara at 160 first while he puts the weight on for 168. Curious what the rest of the community thinks on that potential matchup. Could be another belt in a 5th weight class for Crawford and it seems like Canelo might be going a different route for May 2025 anyways. Maybe Bud goes back down to 154 after and unifies against the winner of Spence/Fundora.

Someone could be around in any sport for a long time and be average or not do as much as someone else in a short period of time..I think that's the case with Canelo and Sanchez..Not taking anything away from Canelo;I think Sanchez was powerful and dominant..Maybe Azumah wasn't that experienced(still at a high level)but Gomez was a champion and fought good fighters..
