Canelo vs. Bud preview & prediction / UFC Paris
🕑 Added 2025-09-11 18:43:09 +0000 UTCI say prediction because as I try to get across in this episode I think Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez vs. Terence 'Bud' Crawford is a really difficult bout to picture, even with everything I know about both men! Super fight or super shite? We won't know until fight night!
Then it's all my thoughts on UFC Paris, as the Fighting Nerds have a night to forget. Will their team woes continue when Jean Silva fights Diego Lopes?
Coming this weekend I'll be discussing whatever did end up happening in the big boxing bout, as well as the aforementioned Silva-Lopes bout (prediction: it's gonna' be a f'n BANGER) and Naoya Inoue's intriguing bout with Murodjon Akhmadaliev.

Unbelievable mate! I thought it was pretty riveting from start to finish!!!

From the AP wire service: “There was not much action through the first eight rounds, at least not enough to keep a casual boxing fan tuned into the broadcast, though Crawford was the quicker, more athletic and better boxer to that point.” What kind of knuckle dragging, mouth breather would you have to be to find those first 8 rounds dull?

Ooh, both great shouts!

Gonna’ be so interesting to watch play out when I’m finding it so hard to envision.

I’m expecting a slow paced fight but my heart tells me that Crawford’s need to win will be enough to outwork a sluggish late-career Canelo (can never be sure about the judges with Canelo though…)

I'd love a Getting to Know You episode about Chamuekpet or Hippy. Thanks for another wonderful episode!
