By Chester Rivers: They say a picture is worth a thousand words but at first glance at Danny Garcia and Saul Alvarez body language at the live weigh-in I could only say two words, “Oh No”! Both fighters barely made weight and it showed. Both fighters also looked very nervous and dehydrated.
Saul “Canelo” Alvarez seemed to be dehydrated the most. One sign of dehydration is discoloration of the skin. Looking at Saul’s face I noticed the circles around his eyes were pale while his cheeks were flush. After Saul made his ring walk he took the stage and immediately sat down. Was he sitting because of weakness from taking off the extra weight or was he harnessing some nervous energy?
By Vitali Shaposhnikov: While I am used to seeing a lot of support from the Mexican boxing fans when it comes to their fighter facing anyone, especially Mayweather Jr., this time the entire scene was alien to me. 
By Dan Ambrose: A painfully thin WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) unbelievably made weight today in weighing in at 152 pounds on the button to make the 152 lb. catch-weight for his fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KO’s) on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Vegas, Nevada. 
(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Michael Turturice: On every blog, sport writers website and talk show the only topic this week is WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez’s (42-0-1 with 30 KO’s) weight for Saturday’s fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KO’s) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Hell it was even streamed on an electronic billboard in Times Square. Hear me folks this is just a distraction! Floyd Mayweather Sr. has come out and said this morning that he “knows” Alvarez is still trying to make weight to today’s weight-in at the MGM Grand. 
By Dan Ambrose: Trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. says that WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) is still battling hard just to try and get down to the 152 lb. catch-weight for today’s weigh-in at 2:30 p.m. for his fight on Saturday night against Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0. 26 KO’s). 
by James Le Blanc: Who saw Dan Rafael set the record straight on ESPN First Take about the recent ‘boxing is dead’ assessment. I was also particularly happy to see him call out Skip Bayless for not knowing what a catch-weight was and starting a controversy over it. The catch-weight agreement between Floyd Mayweather and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez has had particular attention because Mayweather criticized his rival Manny Pacquiao for forcing his fighters to fight at catch weights.

These are views of my own, I am a fan of the sport not a particular fan of the participating fighters therefore I have used unbiased intuition and my knowledge of the ‘Sweet Science’ in order to try and predict the outcome of these excellent fights.

(Photo credit: Leopold Gonzalez) By Chris Williams: Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer badly wants this Saturday’s “The One” card to break the pay-per-view records for cash and overall PPV buys. It’s not looking right now, but Schaefer believes it’ll do at least 2 million buys, which will break the record in terms of cash hauled in. The Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Saul “Canelo” Alvarez main event is a good lure to attract fans, as is the fact the fight is being held on the Mexican Independence Day holiday this weekend.
