GGG Has Less Than 10% Chance of Beating Canelo

[djtmal]

Much respect to GGG hopefully he can muster up one more great night and if Canelo (much respect as well) isn't up for him it could be an interesting night.

My scorecard wasn’t 8-4 GGG. I don’t glorify jabs, ever.

I look for meaningful punches landed. Power punches.

Both fighters outlanded the other in 6 rounds a piece.

Nobody actually won. Scores of 6-6 were accurate. The hate for Canelo is at another level though. So it was a “robbery”.

Interesting. Why not?

Floyd won some of his big fights on predominantly the jab, right? Pacquaio and Canelo for example.

I would love to see how Kev would score Biggs/Sims when all Biggs had was his left hand for 8 rounds and tell me how he won if jabs shouldn't be "glorified."

The fact Ggg did very well in the fights suggests Ggg could be some kind of kriptonite. So to say the 3rd will be competitive is easy to conclude. Yes, Ggg is 40 and that is responsible for making some a little concerned but the concern doesn't necessarily need be warranted!
Nel o has more wear and tear since and lost last fight. Ggg not lost so things could look worse for ggg

There are two possibilities, there styles will always just match up in a Marquez-Pacquiao way, where even when Marquez seems like he wouldn't have much of a chance because of increasing age, he continued to give Pacquiao all he could handle, or, Canelo is just going to wipe the floor with him.

GGG's success largely came from timing, footwork, and sound fundaments. Not necessarily speed or athleticism. Fighters that rely on solid fundaments and timing, rather than speed and reactions generally are able to make it work longer.

However, its at 168, Canelo is going to come in huge, so yeah... I don't personally see it happening for GGG.

You can never count the "old man" out. People like to find holes and complain about Golovkin; they like to pretend that the robberies never happened and that Golovkin is washed up. They'll point to Derevyanchenko and his body shot to justify why he should have lost that fight and why Golovkin sucks; or to the Murata fight and how he looked like crap, despite steamrolling Murata. (Chris Algerie's obsession with Golovkin's age and inability to take punches to the body was something else. I kind of thought there was a little jealously going on because Golovkin is still going strong and Chris, who's younger than Golovkin, had his career ended not too long ago.)

The way I see it is that Canelo stands a good shot at being mentally broken. It's one thing for a fighter to lose a fight that he feels was close or that he could have won, but it is something else entirely when you get such a beatdown like Canelo got from Bivol, when Canleo was talking all kinds of ****, such as fighting Beterbiev or even Usyk. What a rude awakening from fantasy land that was! Canelo knows in his soul that Bivol spanked him, and sometimes that can wreck a man completely, especially men that feel as if they were unbeatable, men who had delusions of grandeur. And as an example, I can immediately point a finger at Deontay Wilder, a man who thought he was chosen by God to put his fellow heavyweights into bodybags, a man who thought that a whale saved him from drowning in the Mississippi River by using its tale to lift him to safety. You heard the craziest religious fantasies come out of that man's mouth, and because some of these guys are so divorced from reality, when it comes crashing down on them, they become half the man they used to be. I think that's very possible with Canelo. I think that his confidence is shook, and I think that Golovkin knows this and is going to press the point in the ring. With Jonathan Banks, Golovkin throws more punches now, and with more punches comes more opportunities to hurt Canelo. So if Canelo's confidence is shook, he'll be more defensive than usual, and if he's more defensive, then Golovkin will be more offensive. And ... well, I think we could get the first Canelo KO. I really do.

I'll leave it at that ... it's obviously impossible to predict a fight without knowing exactly how the camps for both guys have gone, who they've sparred, how that went, what injuries have occurred, and things like that. But calling a Golovkin KO this September is not really going that far out on a limb, IMO. Not far at all ...

Its possible, but Canelo bounced right back from getting washed by Floyd. I don't think Canelo is mentally weak. If GGG starts off by doing some of the same things that Bivol was doing that gave him problems, it could introduce some doubts in his mind, but I would be shocked if GGG had the kind of gas tank to fight the kind of fight he would need to fight to win at his age.

Nope.

Mayweather was never outlanded in power punches.

Mayweather outlanded both Pacquiao and Canelo in power punches, round by round, and in total. More rounds. As always.

Mayweather never won a fight by outjabbing his opponent AND being outlanded by that opponent in power punches, ever. Not once in his career did he ever do that. Not even with a broken right hand vs Hernandez and Baldomir.

That’s not how judges score fights, as much as fans insist it should be the way.

Mayweather’s only rival when it comes to power punch rate is Roy Jones Jr, where RJJ takes that category. But Mayweather beats him in the category of power punches/meaningful punches landed on him.

So yes, while Mayweather landed more jabs than he did power punches in a fight, he always outlanded his opponents, rbr, in both categories. Mayweather never, ever, allowed his opponent to land more meaningful shots on him than he did on them.

Are you blind, ******, or both? Did you actually watch the fight or are just reciting what someone else said about it?

Did you not see the crazy amount of uppercuts and haymakers he was throwing with his “one arm”?

Or are you just going to sit there and make believe he really just jabbed the whole entire fight?

Why don’t you go rewatch that fight before bringing it up? Then come back and talk to me about the jabs.

Golovkin is an old slugger with old mam strength

He can 1 shot Canelo



Foreman never one punched many people bht he did 1 punch Moorer in old age

[AKAcronym]

Yeah because so many people talk about that fight. No **** he didn't throw all jabs but the majority of the punches were. You have really gone off the deep end since Canelo lost. You always came off as a know it all but now it's even more so.

First Castillo fight Castillo laded 3 times as many power punches as Floyd
