I watched the Makabu vs Mchunu rematch on YouTube the other day and I thought Makabu was a bit fortunate to get the points win - it was a close fight though.
Makabu's performance strengthened how I already felt about him based on some of his prior defences against fairly weak challengers and makes it obvious why Reynoso wants Canelo to fight him in order to make the ginga ninja a 5 weight world champion.
IMO Makabu is strong and has a powerful punch however his punch accuracy is poor and his footwork and hand speed are glacial compared to any of the 3 other "world champions" - consequently the chances of him landing flush on Canelo is pretty unlikely.
I can see Canelo out-boxing Makabu from the outside early on and either coasting to a points win or possibly stopping Makabu late on if/when he gases. Consequently I'm expecting Canelo vs Makabu in May.

D$, I know politics play their part but I didn't see that much from Hrgovic to warrant all these HWs avoiding him. How about you?
He's good and doesn't bring huge money at this point.
