Waiting around for BJS..wtf, I thought they signed to fight GGG this June but GGG pulled out & due to injury... de la Hoya said if you fight BJS no canelo fight... CaneloGGG is announced.. Abel just be talking
All part of the negotiations and would have been a trade-off for that somewhere.
Anyone saying either of them is going to have an easy win doesn't know what they are talking about.
Golovkin hasn't met anyone who can fight off the back foot as well as Canelo. Golovkin moves forward, which is Canelo's preferred style in an opponent (vs having to chase like with Lara). His hands and defence are far faster than his feet.
Golovkin is going to have to pay by eating a lot of clean shots from Canelo to get inside, and if any of them hurt, he's going to be far more cautious, which plays into Canelo's hands.
Meantime Canelo will be getting hit by shots considerably more powerful than he's ever been hit before, and just one hurtful shot could reduce his willingness to throw shots as freely as he normally does.
Going to be fascinating to see how it plays out.
The one thing you left out was Canelo eating jack hammer jabs all night long. Could be a factor..(Unless you included those in "hurtful shots"?)
I guess even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. I think we can all agree (this one time with Abel)that after Canelo he needs to finally move up.
