The term cherry picking is wild subjective. My definition is when someone feels that a reward is much greater than the risk. The question isn’t whether or not we knew the fight would be close but what were Canelo’s chances of winning? I believe Oscar did the same with Sturm. You have to add the fact of the odds of Bivol winning by decision. The cards went Oscar’s way but most thought Sturm won. It didn’t go Canelo’s way, that doesn’t mean him or his team didn’t think it would especially him getting the benefit of the doubt in a close fight.

Me personally I am not calling it that but in many minds a cherry picking can simply mean that there are fights that can be made with bigger names and tougher opponents. Roach for sure was a cherry pick because Tank always saying such and such ain’t done shyt yet yielding to Roach who has accomplished a lot less.

To me a cherry pick is when a fighter takes a low risk fight where he basically has all the advantages. A canelo cherry pick to me is amir Khan. Low risk. High reward.

But the bivol fight was the opposite of that. It was the definition of high risk low reward. Canelo stood to gain basically nothing by beating bivol from a status standpoint. And by then bivol was already considered to be a great fighter. The beterbiev fight had already been in high demand for a while at that point. Canelo had everything to lose by fighting bivol. Don't see how it could be considered a cherry pick by any metric.

Only time I've seen emoji used is by women. When I've seen it used on social media it was usually denoting some gossipy/messy bytch type shyt.

No straight man should have that as their most used emoji and shouldnt be that giddy about using it

I'm not mad at that even though it was bullshyt it wasn't called a knock down. If it was called in real time it could change the way Tank and Roach fought the rest of the fight so going back and changing that ruling would've been some bullshyt IMO.

And that’s why boxing sucks and won’t grow.

We don't believe you, you need more people

so at this point, Tank can't lose. They literally won't let it happen. If he's the A side, You HAVE to knock him out.

I can't wait for the Turki takeover to be complete.

Get this corrupt bullshyt out of boxing. Get all this out of here.

I'm all for the Turki takeover too, but Dana White working with Turki is troublesome.

But hey, this might be the reprecussions for all the corruption.

Thats very obvious offa the cards cuz I think all the judges had him winning like 4-5 of the first 6

Gonna need a bivol vs canelo type sonning to win a decision

 

[NormanConnors]

Lol

exactly, most of these cats commentating on Tank's business have their own questionable moments, straight hypocrisy.

Teddy atlas made a good point. After roach started winning tank started tapping roach after rounds as to say good round. Could be wrong, but haven’t noticed that from him before. No bully behavior

That definitely stood out to me
