I got a tattoo to impress Canelo, and I am not sure it worked.

Marking your body for life used to be a big deal, and was something that was reserved for soldiers, bikers, inmates, and whores.

Nowadays, I see more "Live Laugh Love" tattoos inked into more swollen ankles at grammar school pickup than you see on the wall at your local Home Goods.

Still, I thought flying out to Lake Tahoe and getting Canelo Alvarez's signature "CA" carved into my shoulder would take our relationship to the next level.  But it barely distracted him from the fact he is about to face a VERY live dog in Jaime Munguia this Saturday for ALL THE BELTS in the Super Middleweight division.

By the way… Shoutout to Juan Carlos from Truth Tattoo in Truckee, CA for tattooing me within 45 minutes of me entering his shop because I only had a small window to get to Canelo's training camp.

Outside of my time spent with Canelo, I enlisted the help of two lovely ladies to break down this matchup… The first was my dear friend Claudia Trejos, who has forgotten more about boxing than I have ever known.

And the second is adult film star Richelle Ryan, who, on top of being a huge fight fan, has personally taken on more men than Julio Cesar Chavez and Jack Johnson combined.

(I've written about Richelle once before… That time I prevented her from fucking my son.)

Give the attached video a watch, and head over to dazn.com to order a card that contains 3 championship bouts… I'll be ringside, nursing shoulder pain from a worthless tattoo.

Enjoy the fights and take a report.
