Elie Seckbach ESNEWS was on hand for the giant press tour hyping the September 14 pay-per-view between Floyd “Money” Mayweather, Jr and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. Canelo is more confident than any Mayweather opponent to date. Listen to what he had to say:
Marcel Cerdan W 6 Marcel Bucchianer, Meknes, Morocco. Cerdan’s pro debut. PRO RECORD: 111 (65 KOs) – 4 – 0 Marcel Cerdan, known as the “Casablanca Clouter,” turned professional at the age of 18 in 1934 and won his first 46 fights. His first defeat was a fifth-round disqualification loss against Cerdan won the vacant :READ MORE…
Canelo is going to stop Mayweather. Mayweather has been running a lot and that’s going to be his downfall. Canelo wins by unanimous decision.
There are many who hate his style and simply dislike him and allow there biases to consume there thinking. He is not exciting in the sense that he has not been tested to the extent of his abilities as even greats like Ali Leonard and Robinson have at this point there respective carres. I respect his talent I dont buy his invincibilty. I will place him the same class of Lewis and Holmes fighters who had talent were fiercely dominant but were unlikeable either character cokiness or just who never showed the reckless abandon that great fighters have in taking risks and exposing themselves in the effort. Like Leonard did, Ali did and even Robinson. But this is a different age. Fighters dont have the condition tactics or skill set to beat Mayweather and you can attriibute that to the trainers that are in the game now. Most of them suck. Look at his uncle’s fight with Chavez and his fathers fight with Leonard for clues as to how to break the Mayweather defense as all three use a version of it. Pressure breaks pipes. fighters then were greater strategists. Fighters today fight rounds 1 thru 12 the same from beginnning to end. They knew when to turn it up and when to coast and when to go into survival mode. All the great trainers are dead and gone.
