Comments Thread For: Canelo Won't Skip IBF's Second-Day Weigh-In for Golovkin Fight

[Mammoth]

They could win a fight, but for that they have to counter and return the punches. Mayweather for example does that a lot. Jacobs on the other hand did not. He was outlanded, he did not counter as much, he was simply backing away.

I thought he was pretty busy but i already know you're biased towards white fighters...

Hahaha Jacobs beat GGG??? **** me is it the fact the he trained at Ward's gym that people become so clueless? So he got dropped, he got outboxded, he was on the defensive/backfoot 85% of the fight, and yet he beat GGG??? How is that exactly?

Same thing would happen in Jacobs vs. lil g rematch that happened in the Ward vs. kovalev fight. Jacobs stop lil g that's why they will NEVER rematch Jacobs, they don't want that work.

??? Are you new to boxing?? Chavez has one of the best chins. Sergio who Knocked Paul Williams out cold couldn't even knock him down.

Google Chavez Jr. Chin and you'll ready plenty of articles on how good his chin is... Now his heart is something different. But only an idiot would say Chavez Jr. Is easy to drop or knock out...

Chavez does have a great chin, but so does GGG. But Canelo will not have as many opportunities to punch GGG in the face as he did with Chavez by far, so if he wasn't able to drop Chavez, I see no reason why he would drop GGG. No need to come out guns blazin' defending Chavez.

He was busy, but GGG was busier, and GGG was connecting at a highter ratio. It was a competitive fight, but GGG won it clearly.

As for the bolded part.... That is such an ignorant statement.

I am biased towards boxers who box. Not the ones who bend the rules to fit their needs and whom the referee protects.
Black or white fighter, I don't care. If you're basing this for what I said after the Ward-Kovalev rematch, well Ward clearly pulled all kind of dirty garbage so I called it out.
But I sure as hell was not defending white Jeff Horn for the crap he pulled against Pacquiao either, and I was in disagreement with that BS decision victory he got.
So while I do root for Eastern Euro fighters, I will not defend them if they pull any fouling BS.
So no, I do not have any color bias when it comes to fouling and breaking/bending the rules.

Maybe. I wouldn't mind seeing the rematch. But in the meantime Jacobs should go fight someone else as well. GGG's schedule is full at the moment...

I suppose Ward-Kovalev I could have only been scored for Kovalev, the second was all low blows and Golovkin-Jacobs was like 9-3 for Golovkin...

[Herr Schmeling]

Good. He has enough time to put on another 10 lbs in the afternoon. Golovkin will still smash him into bits.

I'm not. I'm on record saying this fight is going the distance. Like most always do when between two highly skilled individuals. Unless 1 is allowed to get away with borderline punches...

Agreed 100%

Your oponion is irrelevant because it's obviously biased. If two boxers did the very same thing why would one be worst than the other? I'm not denouncing you. I am dismissing your opinion because it has no credibility if you're attempting to make a distinction between the same act by two different boxers.

Saying it was widely discussed here, you're making my point I made earlier. The outrage for Jacobs was far greater than Lemieux and he actually knocked his opponent unconscious for MINUTES.

You can ignore the fact that I quite clearly said I don't think the Jacobs scenario was more heinous than any other, but it doesn't make what I said go away. I've quite clearly been deriding the act, not the consequence. It's pretty ****ing basic root cause analysis. You're the one putting the cart before the horse here.

This one is over dude, you're cooked.
