Who knows?...but GGG is legitimately aggrieved and I fully expect him to punish Canelo for that. A KO with a liver left hook "GINGER SNAP" is not out of the question IMHO.
Very difficult to believe. GGG looked very limited in the first fight.
It is enough. In the first fight GGG won, in the second fight it was draw, in the third fight ggg will get knocked out badly. GGG should retire or fight Vanes Martirosyans. Third fight is not interesting because Canelo wins 100%. GGG is done.
Canelo should fight Charlo, Saunders and Jacobs. These are interesting and intruguing fights.
Knock out that ginger cheat!
Manny Pacquiao couldn't KO Mayweather. Kovalev couldn't KO Ward in two fights. Golovkin couldn't KO Canelo in the first fight.
After a year GGG won't get better. Don't expect KO.
As Lomachenko said, GGG repeated the same combinations which were ineffective against Canelo. GGG can win only if he finds some effective attacking technique. Otherwise he will miss whole 12 rounds and eat tons of counterpunches from Canelo. GGG is much slower than canelo and he is not fresh as he was 4 years ago. GGG can't KO Canelo. It is very clear from the first fight.
Saunders is totally correct here. My money is on CANELO not because I think he's going to actually win, but I know he won't get knocked out, so he will get the win on the scorecards.
Agree. I exactly think so.
he won't get knocked out, so he will get the win on the scorecards
GGG is a smart fighter he's got something for clenelo.
I thought the same things before the first fight. But he couldn't outbox clenelo convincingly. Blocked too many punches with his face. Missed too many times. GGG is smart, but not enough smart to outbox canelo convincingly. Maybe GGG can win like in the first fight, but it will be closer than the first fight and Canelo will win on the scorecards.
Best example i can think of that goes against this theory is Chocolatito - Rungvisai, chocolatito the more complete fighter IMO but Rungvisai flattened him in the rematch!
Rungvisai was too strong for Chocolatito. But Canelo is as strong as GGG, maybe he will be stronger because GGG is getting older.
I think it is clear that Canelo will dominate in the rematch, he can even KO GGG because GGG is one dimensional, naturally slow, has poor defence. Canelo is strong, he knows how to outbox GGG. By the way, GGG struggled to beat Canelo when he was 35, hard to believe that 36 year old GGG performs better.
But nobody knows how GGG performs in rematches. Can he upset Canelo?
Kovalev will throw punches to the air all night. Because he is old&slow. clen has better defence and he is faster. clen by UD.
Why does clen fight only old guys?
Any other fighter at 160lb that can challenge Kovalev?
Kovalev is done. And do you believe clen will fight Kovalev without any weight restrictions? Clen used weight restrictions even with Jacobs.
And it is not similar to Garcia vs Spence. Garcia fought prime Spence.
But clen is going to fight an old man.. who was knocked out by another Alvarez...
Why doesn't he fight Andrade or Bivol or Smith or Saunders?
??? You must be new to boxing and dont understand what weight draining does. You basically starve yourself and put a LOT of stress on your body. Athletes have died or done permanent damage to their body doing it before like your kidneys. And will need MULTIPLE bags of IV to recover. And I've heard studies of KO's being a LOT worse to the brain when you do it..
But yeah GGG making 154 to fight Floyd would be fine.
I can't believe anyone would say something like that
If weight draining is so bad, then Floyd must know how bad it is. Then he should have taken the challenge of Golovkin and beat him easily.
canelo gonna **** you up lil g string. reminds me of garcia vs mattyhsse. Mattyhsse gonna ''sleep'' garcia. ''garcia has been cherrypicking and well managed'' then garcia went in their with movement, combinations and iron chin and beat mattyhsse. expect canelo to do the same this saturday.
Agree, this fight could be same as Matthysse vs Garcia. At the same time, it could be like Hagler vs Duran. That's why it is very intriguing fight.
Canelo will fight Jacobs, but he will demand weigh-in on the day of the fight. They will prepare contract in which Jacobs will get zero money if he is not under 170 on the day of the fight. Canelo team have seen that Jacobs is a cheater. I am sure GGG would not defend his IBF title if he had known that Jacobs was going to skip the same day weigh-in. It was not fair.
I keep seeing this silly comment constantly being posted "GGG doesn't like it to the body" lol neither does canelo nor does any boxer. some can take the shots better than others but I scratching my head as to why so many keep insinuating that GGG cant take body shots. I cant ever recall a time where he was seriously hurt, in trouble, in survival mode or bent over from a body shot. so where is this coming from?
When GGG gets hit to the head he continues fighting, we don't see any sign of hurt. But when the opponent hits him to the body, he steps back or he continues to block and he doesn't answer by any shot. He gets so passive. You can see it against Jacobs and Murray (early in the fight).
As a GGG fan I also think so. GGG doesn't like to get hit to the body. He becomes passive after each body punches landed to him. GGG should fight like against Lemieux. Otherwise Canelo will land tons of body shots and uppercuts.
Not really, Indongo was an unknown up until pretty recently. Beating him isn't going to top Ward's back to back wins against Kovalev. He's in the top half of the pound for pound spots IMO but he's not top of the pile yet.
In reality,
In Kovalev vs Ward 1, Kovalev won.
In Kovalev vs Ward 2, Ward would be disqualified for illegal punches.
you got sucked in just like everyone else when they continually matched Golovkin up with flat-footed b/c-level opponents
No, even old GGG has beaten young "elite" Canelo.
I am about physical conditions of GGG, but you are repeating that GGG fought b/c level boxers. I don't deny that GGG's opponents were weaker than Canelo, but GGG is not in the same shape as he was in 2-3 years ago. You will never understand me.
Exactly but lil g was only willing to go down to 154 to fight Floyd because if he fights 155 vs canelo he knows he's getting ktfo
GGG doesn't need to starve, come down to 155 for Canelo.
If he could beat Mall then he would of fought him, especially now. Boo Boo is waiting on Pvssy G from avoiding all the top fighters not named Nelo & he still hasn't got the fight signed for sulecki so what is the hold up from Pvssy G??
Charlo is nobody. He struggled against Korobov. No need for Charlo.
Boo boo was dropped by Vanes. He is not on GGG level. He should prove himself. Won't be surprised if he struggles against Sulecki.
