Comments Thread For: Canelo: I Won at Least 7 or 8 Rounds, I Even Wobbled Golovkin!

Who would pay for it? The consumers lost on this one.

Good point the crazy scoring may have killed the goose that laid the golden egg.

[TonyGe]

FACT: " nobody at 160 lasts 12 with Golovkin "..... is bullshht

FACT: before Jacobs, Golovkin was " the man "..... but now, there are up to 4/5 genuine contenders for that title..... in 2 fights, a supposed killer has been reduced to just one of the pack

Danny Jacobs could be the best middleweight on the planet

so could Canelo, especially after a couple more camps at 160

it could be Charlo, you simply do not know

just so long as you're happy with that

Works for me. We get to see some great fights then..

[Don Pichardo]

it just amazed me to watch the post fight interview. The Arena was a pro Canelo before the fight but during the post fight interview Canelo was booed everytime he talks and GGG was cheered when it was his time to talk. it just shows the displeasure of the fans to the decision and to the fight itself

End thread.

who cares

you said that Golovkin would KTFO Jacobs

then you said Golovkin would KTFO Canelo

so..... nobody in their right mind should listen to you when you run around telling stories about how Golovkin would KTFO Charlo

Hey boxing know it all you are telling me that Charlo could of took those heavy shots delivered by both fighters. Gtfoh just cause i was wrong on my predictions does not mean that Charlo can hang with those 2. By the way did Connello go toe to toe with Golovkin I don't think so. GGG was stalking all night. The boos after the fight says it all by his own people. GGG didn't get the knock out but every one who knows boxing with out a bias knows GGG beat Jacob's and Connello.

HOW THE FCUK WOULD YOU KNOW ??????

you said that same dumb shht about Jacobs and Canelo LMAO

look, Golovkin used to be " the man "..... but now, there are up to 4/5 genuine contenders for that title..... in 2 fights, a supposed killer has been reduced to just..... one of the pack

there are now a whole lot of fights that need to happen

Danny Jacobs could be the best middleweight on the planet

so could Canelo, especially after a couple more camps at 160

it could be Charlo, YOU simply do not know..... and your last two predictions were shht

G has already fought Jacobs, and Canelo back to back. He probably will try to unify and then go for the record. He's getting old and time is running out.

I think you are right

which will leave unanswered questions

G got tripped up when Canelo parried a punch and threw G off balance

LOL. Nope. Not the moment in the 10th I'm talking about. It was a solid straight left to the gut that buckled GGG at around 1:35 remaining in the round.

I haven't even started on the 11th and 12th yet.

10 - 2 Alvarez.

I had it a draw. And in response to GGG landing more punches, the majority of those punches were jabs that had no effect and led to nothing. The only reason GGG threw so many jabs is because he was so ineffectual with everything else and when Canelo was against the ropes he was afraid to go in due to counter punches from Canelo so he settled on flicking out his jab.

The point of the jab is to set up combinations and GGG was not doing this.
The point of the jab is to use it to get inside and GGG was not using his jab to get inside.
The point of using the jab is for defense and to interrupt the other fighters rhythm or to keep him occupied, keep him at bay.

Now GGG did not use the jab for any of the above reasons. He only used it because he could not land anything else effectively and because he was bothered by Canelo's power shots. GGG was reduced to jab throwing in order to land anything. That is why Canelo was not bothered by the jab nor did he waste energy trying to dodge it. This is why I did not credit GGG's jab with winning him the fight. The jabs landing were immaterial. Plus I will go with Canelo's body punches over GGG jabs any day.

This fight resembles somewhat Toney-Jirov. GGG style is very similar to Jirov. Although Toney was much more effective than Canelo many complained about the outcome of that fight too. HBO had it for Jirov, so did Lederman, and so did the people in attendance and many in the press. But over time history has proven it was a masterful performance by Toney with his precise counter punching, even though he did not throw nearly as many punches as Jirov and Jirov was the aggressor. GGG reminds me so much of Jirov.
