So...do I win?

[mapleleaf27]

Canelo will beat Lil G

Yea maybe if he waits 4 or 5 years and GGG is over 40. In the meantime all Canelo will do is give back WBC green belts, he demonstrated to the world the type of coward he is. Anyways GGG has no name or resume compared to Liam Smith hahahahahahahahahahahahahha

IN THIS FIGHT specifically, not in all fights.

AND NOT ALL shots landed, just some of them.

That's the problem with you right now, you are too emotionally charged.

Brook put forth a great effort, and many shots would've landed regardless, but not all of them. GGG doesn't always come forward with his hands down without slipping, if you've seen his fights before you'd know that.

It's clear as day if you rewatch the fight later tonight.

You think I am making excuses for him getting hit, i'm not. No one has said he is unhittable. But it's also obvious when you watch the fight that he definitely ate shots and "was ok" with it as a sacrifice of closing the distance and cutting him off.

In a way, there's really something pretty awesome about what Golovkin did. No respect. Walking thought everything. Squashing his opponent. He did try to slick or clever- just brutal. And it worked. Inside of five rounds, Brook had a fractured orbital bone and is bleeding. Golovkin gave the fans what they wanted- big drama show.

At the same time, Brook have a great account of himself. I'd like to see him at 154.

I think we need to put this in perspective. Marlon Starling who was not considered the best welterweight in the world and at the tail end of his career was able to muster a majority decision lost against Michael Nunn.

Marlon like Brook went straight from 147lbs to 160lbs and had way more success against Nunn than Brook had against Golovkin.

So we can at least agree Golovkin ranks above Michael Nunn is terms of the Middleweight Division and it's a absolute myth that Welterweights can't jump from 147lbs to 160lbs with some success.

Yup, pure savagery. He's a monster. A true badass. It takes a real fighter to say "you know what, I can outbox this guy, but F it, I am going to get my Margarito on and just come forward and throw shots with no regard. He leaves on his shield, or I do".

Lemieux isn't remotely skilled though

Brook is skilled, but way too small.
Lemieux is powerful, but lacks skill.
Canelo is skilled and powerful.

Would be a very good fight, but the lack of head movement is a real flaw.

Head movement? Canelo is lacking the ballz.

A lesser fighter would have been more patient and drawn this thing out longer, but Golovkin ate punches to land punches and got it stopped inside five. He knew he could get away with it and did so. That's how you get 23 KOs in a row.

A true gladiator. Would have packed out the Roman Colosseum.

****, I was too lazy to bet but I almost be $150.

$50 for Brook to win
$50 for Decision
$50 for Over 10-12 Rounds

Or something like that... **** I could have made good money because I'm believing in Brook right now

Great Picks! Can I take your action in the future?
