Comments Thread For: Abel Sanchez Rips Golovkin's Performance Against Canelo: I Was Disappointed

[Elastic Recoilz]

I'm glad Golovkin wasn't with Abel for this fight. Cannot believe he was actually expecting a visually slower near 41 year old fighter to use seek and destroy tactics against the best counter puncher in the game. Under Sanchez Golovkin's career would definitely have been cut short.

Agreed.....

It's nonsense to you but it's still true you fu.......agh I forgot I can't call you any names because you or one of your weak ass buddies on here will flag me and try to get me banned. I swear this is a boxing website and you people call the internet cops when someone calls you something you don't like. I can just imagine how you guys are in real life. smh

Honestly, you may call me any name you like without fear of retaliation or denunciation. We probably don't agree on much in the realm of boxing, but we do seem to share a common disdain for "weak asses" and "internet cops." By all means, disparage me with your worst racial slur and assail my posts with the fiercest and most sarcastic disrespect that you can muster. I am TheOneAboveAll. I have no race and I belong to no protected class. Like you, I pity and detest the victim class that dominates this site.

I might be the only one thinking that if he went in there to brawl he would have gotten Canelo out.
In the 10th or 11th, when he finally decided to get aggressive, he punched Canelo (with a jab) and got him dizzy, then he did not pull the trigger. Only he knows why.

Couldn't disagree more. GGG looked his best when he reverted to his old form late in the fight. GGG certainly has slowed down, but Johanathan Banks has done nothing positive for GGG.

He’s a shot fighter, yet Canelo still let him into the fight in later rounds. He let him punch himself out and saved a little for the later rounds. A veteran move. Too bad everyone, fans and commentators alike, were lulled into a pattern and missed that he out worked Canelo in several if not all of the last 4 rounds. The judges got it right for once.

Cuz he’s 40 and it was the 10th or 11th round………?

Yes but this was only once Canelo's lateral movement began to slow so GGG knew he could then start fighting aggressively. Early on Canelo was showing him so many different looks going from pulling back to front front foot, leading with big left hooks (like the one that KO'd plant). As a fighter with slower reactions he had to be wary of that - one wrong move and he would've got clocked by something big.

When you evaluate it, not taking any significant punishment and sweeping the last 4 rounds as a 40 year old on the decline is better than having a go but getting battered. I don't think Canelo was ever going to get the KO over Gennady however he fought though, he's just one of those guy's who are way too tough.

I agree. GGG was blowing out his *** from Round 2 on in the Murata fight, so I think he just knows how to work through it. I feel that his decline from just 5 months ago against Murata to the Canelo fight was precipitous though, so I feel Johnathan Banks just didn't get him ready. I don't see any evidence whatsoever that Banks is a qualified coach. Simply surviving to the final bell isn't what GGG wants to do.
