The Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin 2 pay-per-view undercard was billed as actually worth watching, and while the Las Vegas crowd was late-arriving as usual (whether for boxing or a UFC show), the fights themselves produced nothing but knockouts.
Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez stopped Moises Fuentes in the fifth round with one punch, David Lemieux knocked out fellow middleweight slugger Spike O’Sullivan in the opening round, and WBO junior middleweight champion Jaime Munguia thrashed heavy underdog Brandon Cook in the third-round of the co-main event.
So... main event time, right? Well, we did have an unusually early start time of 8 PM ET/5 PM PT, and it’s going to be awhile before Canelo and Golovkin are in the ring.
