Canelo is controlled the fight since the late 4th round, Jamie won round 9 maybe 10 too , Canelo is a sitting duck when hit with combos

I don't like how Erceg slumps back like that after Pantoja blitzes in

20-18 Pantoja. Bet Erceg after rd 1 at +240 because I knew he would lose early. Let's see if he can continue this momentum swing and take over or if I miss every single thing tonight.

I got it 2-0 Pantoja but Erceg showing he's now willing to back down.

Erceg is cracking Pantoja. He can't be blitzing in like that against this dude
