    99-91, 99-91, 100-90 to Callum. Hugely impressive. He should get bigger fights after that.

    won every round but wouldn't say it was hugely impressive.

    Morning all.

    Did I miss anything exciting?

    I'll watch the Walsh fight later but was there anything else worth checking out?

    Why not? Lots of work to the body early, then mixed it up. Lots of three and four punch combos.

    For me it was a very impressive showing.

    He didn't seem to go for it at any stage, Vargas was never in any danger of getting rocked at any stage.

    Saw about half of that. Were the cards a bit wide?

    Walsh is a big strong boy I like him, think he’ll give plenty of trouble yet.

    He didn't need to, he was in total control. He listened to Freddy and did what he was told to.

    think walsh tbf won every round even if a few were quite close output wise.

    Anyway the big one now. I really hope Bud does it. It's a huge jump in weight.

    If he pulls this off he might be the GOAT in my eyes.

    I'd imagine the difference in weight right now is massive.

    Lot of pressure on both of them

    Bud at his usual, checking out his opponents moves. We'll see the same thing in round 2 and from round 3 on we'll see what he's got.

    Crawford looking the more comfortable, Canelo struggling a bit now looking ragged.

    Bud Crawford is awesome.

    Hopefully the judges aren't crooked.

    I love Bud. Only question now is if he is the GOAT.

    jeez!

    Not for the first time - some very friendly scoring for Alvarez

    Fortunately Crawford won so convincingly they couldn’t rob him

    Really Crawford is all wrong for Canelo, good defence, better boxer, better feet and movement, can take a shot, Canelo too one dimensional and very easy to hit, all he really had going into this was being the bigger guy and could Crawford stand up to the power, the answer was a resounding yes so it turned out to be a comfortable night for Crawford.
