Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez Anxious to Silence Critics, Golovkin & His Team

[sabian615]

As usual the boxing scene forum is filled with ****phobic rants and poor grammar. Stay in school, friends. Also, it's 2017, not 1947. Time to get with the times. Unreal.

The most effective way to counter a jab is to have a good jab. Canelo, I'm sure aside from Angulo, has lost in the jabbing department against every single opponent of his at JMW.

His fancy upper body movement and overhand right counters lack probability, extract resource and have him out of position for GGG's backhand. Besides, Cotto was being countered off the jab as you said, and he kept throwing it.

He's up against someone regarded from all divisions to have the BEST jab. Hbo telecast numbers or whatever. Or maybe just middle weight.

This is absolutely crucial.

Canelo lost his Floyd fight to a jab. Unable to establish position and really had 0 answers all night.

Reason is just cause he doesn't carry a great jab himself.
Without a jab you cannot win against GGG. You're at a huge disadvantage with space and to keep him guessing.

You don't even need a great jab just enough to keep him from abusing it.

He didn't lose to Floyd cuz of a jab he lost because of everything Floyd does. Canelo took away cottos Jab and cotto has a good jab. And to say that he got out jabbed by all his fights except Angulo is laughable

I hope GGG doesn't pull a Kovalev and cry a river if/when he loses.

I already know his fans will, so hopefully it's conclusive either way.

Canelo:" I'm Prepared to Look to Knock Out Golovkin!"
canelo will be looking for a KO on a 50-50 fight...
is there something wrong that???

No contradiction there! A bout ending in a knockout between evenly matched fighters is not uncommon. 50/50 simply means it can go either way. Just look at some of these posts. Many folks who can't predict who wins are confident that whoever wins will win by knockout. Canelo should be looking to KO GGG and vice versa, precisely because the fight can go either way.

exactly, nothing wrong with that...

Wonder which one of the two was paid to take a dive?

[SweetScience]

Only way for Canelo to silence anyone is to win by KO or win wide on the cards... not a close decision. His best 3 wins have came against Trout, Lara and Cotto.....all close. Canelo needs to end all doubt and prove he's superior to Golovkin.

none.


why do posters think a fight this big, this important to them, one of them is willing to take a dive?

[Boxfan83]

canelo said that im gonna knock him out, i will not give him a second chance. now he's saying this is 50 50 fight. i think he lost some confidence on himself

Part of the promotion. This fight is angling on being boxings best fight, a 50-50 fight that either guy can win by KO. After all the crap Team Canelo and GGG did about May vs McG being lopsided, its their best angle.

Itll be 3L's for them in a year, Kov, McG, and GGG. If Loma loses in December, we may have a even higher rate of suicides this holiday season, not so Merry Christmas'.
