Canelo got out-stamina'd by a 35 year old man.

[Ray*]

That's absolutely right. You would expect the younger guy to be fresher but saying that Canelo won most of the late rounds.

[keepemup]

GGG has great stamina and has been an olympic level athlete since he was practically a teenager. Which is great, but stamina didn't win him this fight. He managed to take a lot of punishment but that's about all he can be praised for.

[TheBigLug]

Stamina is 100% genetic just like punching power and "chin" and almost everything else in boxing. You can't train it. You can run as much as you want you wont improve your stamina much, it's a fact

Exactly. Some people are built to be what they are. 99.9% of us could run miles every day of our life, but we're just not made to be a marathon runner. Same as sprinting or anything else.

Boxing is no different, it's just that it's a sport that relies on many attributes but it's no different. Different guys are just built for different things. You can never truly be something you're not in boxing.

[GoldenGloveLove]

He had a stronger final three rounds than Golovkin, so not really. No, not really at all.

[LoadedWraps]

The stamina problems are real

Red K coming when I can drop karma again for saying something so ****** in your title.

You're clearly a teenager, 35 is a man's prime and there is no conditioning drop off. I'm north of 30 and am supremely conditioned and could go 12 at a high work rate. You're clearly not an athlete.

Age is not a factor unless the gap is extreme and even then, it's more about health, nutrition and training. Educate yourself then come back and apologize.

just lol @ implying that 35 is old.

False. You expect the more conditioned fighter to be fresher. Regardless of age.

I regard Canelo the younger fighter the more conditioned fighter going into this fight..

You also said earlier that he was expected to be fresher because he was younger. Flawed logic. Myth. 35 isn't 60.

Stop clinging to the outdated myth that fighters fall off a cliff after 30. That's only for fighters who don't take care of themselves, and for fighters who are in constant wars and take tons of damage in every fight, and the latter, it's the body breaking down due to punishment, unrelated to age.


Also what in the flying phuck would possess you to consider Canelo the more conditioned fighter? If you know anything about both fighters you know that Canelo has always had conditioning problems, Golovkin the opposite.
Literally nothing to back up the claim that Canelo is the more conditioned fighter. Nothing at all.

Oh yeah I look at age in regards to boxing, I look at someone who is 27 and expect him to be well conditioned and fresher than a 35 year old, that's me.... So yeah I expect Canelo to be in a better condition down the stretch.

[PRINCEKOOL]

Golovkin will only get better strategically from this fight onward, if the rematch is made! (This is a trait that most of the great Russian/Soviet fighters have! There are alot of things Golovkin could do different, but the same cannot be said for Canelo Alvarez! But fairplay to Alvarez, I did not think he was going to last the distance!)...

[alexguiness]

Golovkin has a huge engine, and he is relentless.

Canelo got tired because he was having to set his feet to counter with very little time, it's a lot of pressure when a guy like Golovkin is right in your face for 12 rounds.

Canelo just can't hit on the move, he can move well enough but not counter at the same time.

I thought it was a good fight, and I also think Canelo was a bit surprised when Golovkin upped the intensity after the first 3 rounds.
