Undefeated Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Re: Canelo's December 15th opponent is British So has Clenelo relinquished his middleweight titles or do you know what the situation is regarding that? And Fielding has no chance as far as I'm concerned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repsac Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Re: Canelo's December 15th opponent is British Is this for the super, regular, irregular, interim, or part time title? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Re: Canelo's December 15th opponent is British Not much info except that it will be on Sky Sports. Matchroom and Canelo broke the news about an hour ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Re: Canelo's December 15th opponent is British --- Interesting if true, more so since I didn't see any news about this on fight news. I never found out the Canelo/GGG fight weights their last go round. Trouble making 160 now? Split Big Baby down his vertical axis and we'd have two Canelos!

And Fielding has no chance as far as I'm concerned Canelo has been granted a voluntary by the WBC and it was expected that this would be at middleweight in December. I doubt the fact that he's taking a supermiddle contest will have much bearing on that. I'm sure the WBA are also fine with this. Not sure about IBO.

Undefeated Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Re: Canelo's December 15th opponent is British Canelo has been granted a voluntary by the WBC and it was expected that this would be at middleweight in December. I doubt the fact that he's taking a supermiddle contest will have much bearing on that. But if he fights Fielding next he won't be defending his WBC title in December (which is fine as long as he doesn't continue to have the option of a voluntary beyond then since Charlo has been waiting patiently long enough and he must fight for the strap vs Clenelo after he fights Fielding). Though I understand the WBC have ordered GGG vs Charlo with the winner to fight Clenelo when GGG has just fought him twice back to back so I guess that would need to take place in December/January if GGG fancies it.

BoztheMadman Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Re: Canelo's December 15th opponent is British Fielding may have a puncher's chance. He stopped that undefeated German not long ago, Zeuge. And in 5 rounds. He's a hit and miss fighter I guess...if he nails you, he wins, but when he doesn't, he gets fooked up. :haha: But his chances of nailing Canelo are slim, yes.

syrianpitbull Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Re: Canelo's December 15th opponent is British Someone posted a hilarious meme of Fielding getting sacrificed by Hearn in an Aztec ritual on Facebook, if I can find it I will post.

He's a hit and miss fighter I guess...if he nails you, he wins, but when he doesn't, he gets fooked up. :haha: But his chances of nailing Canelo are slim, yes. True, but Zeuge sucks. He's a typical hype job, almost never fighting outside of his safe little home country. Canelo is about four levels above him. Fielding doesn't have 1-punch power, and Canelo is incredibly hard to hit, so I don't even give him a puncher's chance, personally. This fight is roughly similar yo Miller facing a 41-year old Adamek, except of course I'd never compare that skill-less, stumbling fat bastard with Canelo. ---------------- If Canelo was to hide out at 168, hoping that Charlo & Derevychenko both get hit by buses in the interim, he could at least go after someone like Zurdo, or (I can't believe I'm writing this) Chavez Jr. Edited October 7, 2018 by Cableaddict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
