canelo is in love with his body. he trains unecessary muscles like chest and biceps, upper traps, etc. might be his downfall in this fight
canelo looks like a wrestler gennady looks like a boxer
I think a big part of it is genetics though. Look at Canelo's Brothers they're all naturally muscular.
Where all the Canelo votes at?
6 of my 7 closest friends are all going for GGG. All but one are Mexican too. Voted Canelo by close decision but I'm in no way sure about it.
Canelo cause I've been following his career since back before he ever was a big name in the US.
Also I guess I'm a proud Mexican living in the US but somehow still have my kidneys.
However I like GGG as well and if he were victorious I would feel happy for him too. Fan of both really.
because then it would be too ethnic and effect the PPV buys for those that think it's a ''white boy speaking English'' to beat the Mexican. it's an obvious formula.
They chose to do it for the 24/7 but not for this. Curious
It's on purpose. look up his interviews in russian language. he says he doesn't want to "americanize" too much.
Really? I'll look some up. Never seen his Russian interviews.
I honestly dont think that most canelo fans realize how skilled GGG really is. To the untrained eye he can seem basic but he is very skilled.
Im a canelo fan and this is what worries me.
Translation
Canelo "I'll bet you the purses !"
Chavez "We going to bet your purse amount or mine?"
Canelo "Both purses I'll give you that advantage."
Chavez "The casino's are offerring 4 to 1."
Canelo "You're not betting the casino you betting me . In fact i'm making
4x as much as you and i'll bet my purse."
Thanks for the accurate translation!
If I had to guess:
Golovkins choice: Trella
Canelo's choice: Moretti
Compromise: Byrd
In general, it looks like a reasonable choice of judges in terms of past performance, the one exception being Moretti's scorecard of 119-109 for Canelo over Cotto. I'ts not a given from that one card that Moretti will score more for Canelo than the other two though based on other cards he has put in. I only had a quick look at past experience with these judges, so its not comprehensive, but:
Moretti
119-109 Canelo over Cotto
115-113 Canelo over Lara
- given how close this fight was, 115-113 isn't unreasonable
116-112 Canelo/Mayweather
- one could argue Mayweather won by a larger margin than that, so maybe favoured Canelo again
120-108 Canelo over JCC Jr
- same as other 2 judges, no surprises there
Overall seems Moretti either like Canelo's style or favours him (which might be the same thing). Odds-on he scores more for Canelo than the other two judges do (hello SD or MD)
Trella
115-112 for Golovkin over Jacobs
- whatever one thinks of the fight, this is how a lot of people saw it, so looks to be reasonable
- had Golovkin 20-17 over Geale, no shocker there.
Byrd
- was a judge for Wade/Golovkin, fight ended round 2 so doesn't matter
- had it 50-43 for Golovkin vs Monroe (1 other judge same, one had it 49-44), no shocker
- had 120-108 for Canelo v JCC, ie got it right
- had Khan up by 1 point vs Canelo, kind of suggests not one to give Canelo rounds just because he's Canelo
I'm guessing Moretti scores it for Canelo and the other two get it right (and if right means Canelo, then Canelo gets a UD, else Golovkin gets a MD if its close). Unless its one-sided and even Moretti can't screw it up (either way).
Nice rundown.
