Comments Thread For: 30 Day Weight: Gennady Golovkin Comes in at 170-Pounds

[Zaroku]

Are there any actual confirmations regarding the 30 day weigh-ins?

Rumor has it that GGG is 170lbs and Canelo is 175lbs, both under the 176lb limit. But so far I haven't found any concrete articles.

Anybody got something?

Cool dog!! Is it yours?

170 is comparatively heavy for Golovkin. Previous 30-day weigh-ins have been 164/165 for all of Jacobs, Lemieux, Brook, Wade, Rubio. But Monroe (back in 2015) he was 169.

So definitely a bit heavier than normal. Planned ? Why depart from his normal schedule ? I'm suspecting he's a little behind his normal training with a view to making it up, but with 5 weeks to go, should be no problem.

Only thing for sure is he can't use 'over-trained' as an excuse if he loses. Some were saying he over-trained for Jacobs (but this was strongly denied by Sanchez), so that might be part of it.

Like when GGG was telling reporters he would go down to 154 for a fight with Floyd Mayweather. So if he would do 154 for Floyd, why didn't he offer to do it with Canelo?

Lol. I see the point I was making went right over your thick head!

He had longer in between camps than usual, so I guess he would have started this camp heavier than usual. It looks like that from the promo photos taken a couple of months ago.

What belts is Canelo holding apart from the DBC title

He also holds the Middleweight Mamadas World Championship

Golovkin is lately doing these 30 days weigh ins after a morning run. So he's cutting 5-7 pounds before he does it. This means he's about 175-177 now in terms of weight I'm assuming.

I think they plan to come in heavy against Canelo.

I doubt it. He has the IBF fight day weight check to think about.

Eh, I was being sarcastic... and that's the weigh in before the fight.

My point is. He was 172 for Murray 30 days before and then he was very fit on fight night.

GGG was ****** up after Jacobs. Then the spontaneous retirement talk. Now he's at highest 30 day weight in over 2 years. Doesn't feel right.

Canelo ain't Murray you would think with his biggest fight of his career he would be in the best shape of his life yet Showing up to canelo/chavez looking heavy, showing up to photo shoots tubby and showing up to press tour with a double chin. Fact he's been heavier then usual at every step from when the fight was announced, to when training camp started and now at the 30 day weigh in. And not heavy like he's put on extra muscle/added strength no more heavy as in fleshy and soft.

So he can just run and in two days he makes 160.

His shoulders look huge though. I'll give him that.
