By Adrian Alvarez Jr: After watching a throwback fight of Miguel Cotto’s vs. Carlos Maussa another undefeated prospect from Colombia at the time, I was reminded of what a strong Junior Welter and Welterweight Cotto was so it brought a question who wins between 140lb Cotto and now reigning and defending 14olb junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia?

Canelo-Mayweather: A modern day classic?
(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Adrian Alvarez Jr.: September 14th has the chance to be a modern day classic and historic night with unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KO’s) facing WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) in a battle of unbeatens at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. It’s already shaping up to be a great card with the possible addition of Danny Garcia vs. Lucas Matthysse as the co-main event.
Over the years there have been many many classics as we all know, and if you look at the followings of the two fighters there are two fights you can compare this one to.
The first fight being Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. vs. Meldrick Taylor I and the second fight being Oscar De La Hoya vs. “Sugar” Shane Mosley I, both absolute classics. Going back to the following of the two fighters, we have Canelo who is without a doubt the biggest attraction in his fighting country of Mexico today.
Gennady the monster of the middleweight division
By Adrian Alvarez Jr.: I’ll admit up until 6 years ago when I saw a movie named Borat I hadn’t heard to much about Kazakhstan and now with the emergence of WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin I definitely know of it and hear a lot more about it.
If The Best Hadn’t Fought The Best And If The Best Don’t Fight The Best
By Adrian Alvarez Jr.: I just read an article today by Dallas Oryiuk about Danny “Swift” Garcia possibly ducking or being afraid of Lucas “The Machine” Matthysse. I’m not going to get into to much detail on whether he is or not, but what I will say is I’m a huge Boxing fan and a fan of both fighters I’ve rooted for Garcia in all of his bouts and have followed him more but I wanted Lucas to win in his fight against Peterson and have great respect for him.
End Of The Road For Juanma? Good Fight For Mikey!
By Adrian Alvarez Jr.: In what was a much quicker bout than I thought it would be, Mikey Garcia used his great counter punching and boxing ability to defeat Juan Manuel Lopez by a 4th round TKO tonight at the America Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
Despite failing to make the weight last Friday, Mikey showed why he’s unbeaten in dominating Lopez with counter punching, jabs and power shots. He knocked Lopez down twice in the fight.
With this win, Mikey is ready to move up and take bigger fight.
