Comments Thread For: Willie Monroe Predicts Canelo Will Stop Golovkin in '9 or 10'

[yoshik]

I never said Golovkin can outbox Canelo. I said he can use the same approach he did with Lemieux. Golovkin has along quick jab. It's not fancy but it can keep his opponents off balance. If he can keep Canelo off balance it will help in the later rounds if or when Canelo gets desperate. Canelo didn't outbox Khan until he started making mistakes, one of which was getting sloppy defensively.

Canelos jab is NOTHING like GGGs. I bet Cornholeo has a hard time getting around it

Canelo wins i don't know if he'll stop GGG though that would be a sight to see. I just don't like the fact that ggg mentioned possibly retiring ahead of his first Major fight. That seems suspect to me. But i just hope this fight delivers in the action department. As long as this fight lives up to the hype thats all i care about lol

The interview I heard where retirement was mention sounded very vague with Golovkin kind of saying "who knows". It didn't sound like a serious contemplation of retirement. I'm with you on hoping most of all its a good fight. I've got a feeling boxing is going to need it.

Huh? Golovkin's body punching is some of the best in the world. His targetting is immaculate. Great liver shots.

The stuff you see him do versus C level guys isn't sophisticated at all.

They both tend to gas but to pretend that Golovkin has only thought one credible MW is willful ignorance. Murray challenged for a world title 3 times and should prob have won against Martinez.

Murray was very durable [less so now] and Golovkin needed until the 11th to tko him and wasn't gassing then. Golovkin tends to recover from his gassing in between rounds but not sure how quickly he'll recover if he takes a lot of incoming in one round.

Gassing is a factor in this fight but for me the biggest factor is the power and the chin. Can Canelo take Golovkin's power and can Golovkin get worn down by Canelo's combos --- because both are going to get hit regularly.

EVERY fighter gasses (in different ways) during a 12 rd fight that goes the distance . And Murray is a braveheart journeyman,not elite. Golovkin has only fought Jacobs that was truly top 5. The rest of his opponents have been b- & below skill level 4 different reasons. Ggg gassed out vs jacobs after rd 6,& for moments before that too where he had to take breathers.

All you claiming that ggg is some nonstop pressure for every rd beast are so delusional. He gets hit plenty vs less skilled fighters than Canelo,he gasses often as any elite fighter,he takes plenty of breaks in fights,he has no clue what to do when his most skilled opponent unloaded or traded,he freezes & that was vs a chinny Jacobs not a steel chin nelo.

canelo must stop you in a round then, cause golovkin absolutely smashed you to pieces mate.

Bet your account if you so sure

I was going to say the same thing

Here we go, same thing, "bu bu but golovkins jab doe" what about 3, 4, 5, combinations coming back at him in less than 2 seconds? What about the straight right over top of that jab? Like the one Floyd hit canelo with multiple times in their fight? That's now one of canelos best counters

Jacobs fought two different fights, he fought scared IMHO in the beginning, then after the KD which he got up from and wasn't massively hurt, he realise that made GGG power isn't all that.

He gave GGG too much respect by backing off even though he has all the things needed to beat or compete with GGG. If he fought the first few rounds in the same way he fought in the last 3/4 rounds then he would have beaten GGG IMO.

Monroe didn't have the same tools that Jacobs had going into a GGG fight, but i can see why he thinks Canelo beats GGG, Canelo loves fighters coming at him, he has that uppercut in his inside game, he has the experience not to allow GGG space to extend his arms, he is quicker than GGG, and he knows GGG doesn't fight great when its an inside fight.

Even against Brook GGG inside game wasn't up to scratch. The only issue would be if GGG get Canelo on the ropes and then tee off on those bodyshots. Because i don't think Canelo would eat too many of GGG's jabs.

I agree Jacobs was too respectful at times but at the same so was Golovkin. I don't think he will be against Canelo. I think Golovkin can stay at a distance and box but I don't know if can win a decision against Canelo with that strategy. I'll be curious to see which one will the aggressor. If it's Golovkin it will give Canelo a lot of opportunities to counter. I seriously doubt either fighter will be willing to fight at close range for long periods. I'm not as confident as some people on either fighter having a clear path to victory.

Poor loser still crying. Willie STFU. You got whupped.

I have to say the opinion is all over the board here.

Let's hope GGG wasn't sand bagging when he was playing with Jacobs.....and we know haters don't know smack about boxing.

My sense is that Golovkin underestimated Jacobs' chin and, as a result, did not train appropriately for that fight. I don't think he (or Sanchez) will underestimate Canelo.

Ggg jab too slow for Canelo that's easy pickings, Canelo did outbox khan from round 3 till he slept him... says a lot about canelos boxing abilities considering he was the slower fighter on that fight.
