Lets Talk about Canelo

[AnimalisticMeth]

Talk about overated and one dimensional. Is hard for me to even chose who is the bigger fraud Canelo or Chavez Jr? I mean I know kid was overated but please I had Gomez winning round 2,3 and 4. with the 5th round being really close. The thing is Gomez was not doing anything special he was bending down the whole fight looking like a hobbit and hitting Canelo with the jab at will.

Looking like he did against a welterweight in Gomez I wouldn't put it past him to lose to a big middleweight in Chavez.

I like Gomez - but he's a bit slow. Canelo was missing a lot, and that ref stopped it too early.

[Evil Abed]

I thought he was playing with and carrying Gomez until the TKO.

Canelo was practicing new things.

he's vastly ovverated, especially after this fight. He was losing to ****ing gomez and gets a really really quick stoppage. absolutley nothing special about him

Exactly. He was in there trying to be cute and shoulder rolll... LOL

[BostonGuy]

I was not impressed at all with his performance last night. He looked bored and uninspired as evidenced by his inactivity throughout the fight. Alvarez was getting outworked, out punched and was being backed up at times by Gomez...

The stoppage was total b.s. IMO. Most of Canelo's punches in the final stanza were blocked and on the gloves of Gomez. Gomez may have been dazed but he was surviving and wasn't defenseless. You just don't stop a boxing match at that point; it wasn't a one sided fight and Gomez was really having some success. I'm disgusted more with the outcome of this fight than the Mayweather fight

This,

I mean if you didn't notice Canelo trying to shoulder roll shots like Mayweather, and letting Gomez punch him at will, and you feel that's Canelo than you've never watched him box.

He was going for the homerun in every shot too. Canelo is doing right by finding his style and using decent opponents to find it with.

But Canelo needs to focus on a jab more and just let his hands go, his combination punching will be lethal when he starts getting used to it more.

it looked like that was his gameplan, to frustate gomez and hit him with counters IMO it wasnt very succesfull but in his mind he was winning rounds

The stoppage was way early but to me it looked like canelo was playing, at the end he went into beast mode and had gomez hurt very quickly, was probably going to drop him if it wasn't for the ref
