This thread is comedy and really exposes how ****** Kafkod is.

Rewatched the fight and it's my strong opinion that GGG wasn't going for a KO win last night.

He wants a rematch with Canelo - because of the huge money involved - and the best way to ensure a rematch would be to win the fight on points without putting a bad beatdown beatdown on Canelo.

There is no way Canelo would have excercised his rematch clause if he'd got KTFO by GGG. That's why GGG just peppered Canelo with light shots when he had him up against the ropes, instead of uncorking the power like he usually does when he has a guy trapped.

He was looking to score points, not going for a KO!

Kafkod please don't go full groupie on us. You are " one of the good ones", lol.

He definitely didn't press for th ko, but imo that was because he didn't want to get countered, not becaus he was thinking about long term earning potential.

This **** has gone too far. GGG could get put in a coma in the ring and someone would say he did it on purpose.

This is the truth.

[Papa Smurf]

GGG is too old

GGG wasn't allowed to attack Canelo's body


GGG could have KO'd Canelo, but wanted the decision

There was also no beatdown saturday night, wtf are you talking about ??

Time after time, GGG used his jab and footwork to cut the ring and get Canelo right where he wanted him, backed up against the ropes, then he let him go without unloading any big shots.

There are 3 possible explanations for why that happened, including yours and the one I gave in this thread.

I'm discounting yours because it's not in GGG's character to hold back his punches for fear of being countered.

The other explanation is that, at 35 yo, Golovkin has slipped over the hill and can no longer pull the trigger under pressure. But that would be "making excuses" so I can't talk about it at this place.

First explanation mentions GGG's age. That's "making excuses" ... Not allowed at this forum.

Second is just silly.

Third one works best here.

I didn't watch the fight live, because I fell to sleep at about 4:30 am (my time zone)...

I only watched the recording and I think that both fighters held back and didn't fully load their power punches...

This is the lamest thing I've ever heard. Notice how there's only one side making excuses for a fight their guy supposedly won...
