    Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant? Canelo Alvarez got out of his contract with DAZN and Golden Boy Promotions in what turned out to be a very brief struggle.

  • One Sided Drubbings Open November 2020

    I chronicled 2 events in my previous post outlining November’s schedule. The first event was the FOX PBC card headlined by Luis Ortiz which got some ad time during college football.
