some of you are going to get a real shock when GGG pulverises canelo..

[Mammoth]

I like watching the homies on NSB root for Canelo even though they hate his guts with a passion because they hate Golovkin even more. That's the best part of this fight.

Lol yep.... That's what it is though

'KTFO' is that what a controversial, premature stoppage from a shot that went below the belt is called now

Man Kovy's own trainer said Ward was the better man and Kovy himself acknowledged Ward was better, but you still can't accept a loss?

That straight right is what ended the fight. The rest of the legal body shots were just the icing on the cake

cant believe some of the comments im reading, and the change in opinion since there most recent fights. Do people not actually look further back than a fighters last fight before deciding whos going to win?

Or do you think canelo would have done a better job on jacobs, or that GGG would have struggled with chavez jr?

Cause the shift in opinion is bizarre. Jacobs is about twice the size of canelo. Style wise they are polar opposites. Look at the head to heads , GGG is considerably the bigger man against canelo. He was considerably smaller against jacobs.

Hes going to sit back against that jab all night long against canelo, the smaller man.

I keep getting told how much canelos improved, how hes getting better with each fight, pull the other one ffs, hes looking better cause his opposition is getting worse. shot welterweight cotto, glass chinned kirkland, glass chinned welter khan, bum liam smith and walking zombie chavez jr, is it really a shock hes looking good? Hes now a feared power puncher apparantly cause he knocked out two guys with no chins, two of the chinniest fighters in the sport.

He does not have the firepower to trade with golovkin, most of the better fighters canelos fought against he hasnt been able to put a dent in them. ANd these guys were smaller than golovkin.

Because hes beat that line up of clowns in the last few years hes now not the guy who most thought lost to lara, struggled against trout and lost every round to welterweight floyd mayweahter?

Golovkins still that same guy who demolished everyone pre jacobs at middle, the same guy who pretty much everyone on here was saying canelo was scared of and would get whooped by.

I tell you what, if canelo had that many problems with lara and trout how would he do against jacobs who is much much rangier?

Youre all going to get a shock when canelo gets bloodied and busted up with the jab. This is just another fight for golovkin, i said in the build up to the last fight that jacobs had a chance of pulling it off and he couldnt be overlooked, well canelo has no chance. Like **** its a 50/50 fight.

This made LOL. Good one!

[BoxingIsGreat]

I don't think it will be as one-sided now. Golovkin really has slowed down a lot and if any size difference ever existence, it's definitely gone. It's 50/50 now IMO.

I like watching the homies on NSB root for Canelo even though they hate his guts with a passion because they hate Golovkin even more. That's the best part of this fight.

Good observation. This is true in my case, minus the extreme hatred you describe. I don't like Golovkin. I used to be a Canelo fan, until his 155 weight disease.

[Mr Objecitivity]

Agreed, but Canelo, unlike the other guys you mention, is able to land to the body. Body punching matters. A lot. (See Ward/Kovalev.)

Canelo represents a legitimate danger to Golovkin in this fight.

Canelo Alvarez may be one of the best body punchers Gennady Golovkin is about to face. However, body punching puts one at huge risk of getting punched themselves on the inside. Thus, Canelo Alvarez is going to be at more danger whilst trying to attack the body against GGG than against any previous opponent because no other opponent that Canelo Alvarez has fought previously have as much punching power as GGG. Even more so when it's someone that can generate knockout power in short / close distances as GGG is able to.

Sergey Kovalev isn't known as a devastating power puncher at short range. His power is greater at mid to long range. Guys like GGG and Artur Beterbiev have legitimate punching power at close range. Thus, it's not as risky to attack the body against someone like Sergey Kovalev as opposed to someone like GGG. Canelo Alvarez has to get into range to land his body punches, where he'll be vulnerable to short power punches from GGG.

In other words, Canelo Alvarez is going to be at more risk than vice versa.

I don't see Canelo Alvarez providing much, if at all more of a challenge to GGG than Kell Brook did.

Never understood this dogshit perspective. Cotto and Pooch weight drained their opponents, but Canelo asked same-size fighters to allow 1 mutual 1 lb raise in weight. No disadvantage for anyone.

Cancer like yourself (a LLL, closet Sergi-gay fan, and white supremacist) make it seem like Canelo was cheating opponents out of...something.

You clowns are the same idiots who say..."yeah, even weight but CANELO was bigger" and..."Kell Brook weighed MORE than LLL so the win counts!!"

You goddamn cunts

Btw rekt

All of this would mean something if LLL wasn't coming off a loss to Chinny Jacobs. But he is and he's far from the media hype job some of you think he is. His two best "wins" are a **** decision against Chinny Jacobs and a goddamn welterweight.

Like are people actually thinking when they type some of this shit out??

[just the facts]

check my pick in the 'nsb pick em'. get your FACTS right first!!!

Can't find that. Could this be yet another lie on your part?

great post!!!!!!
Canelo looses this one by tko

[Navalny20!8]

Golovkin may be on the downslide, but he should still have enough left to 'pulverise' Canelo.
