Comments Thread For: Canelo's Manager Not Sure if Golovkin Rematch Happens in May

Here they go 9 months out in may not good cinco de mayo? They will stall try and age ggg like first time 2 years after Canella challenged him in the ring fight finally happened

Your're right, except Canelo won 8-4. Golovkin was unable to make any adjustments, and he actually fought reluctantly when Canelo willingly gave him some great opportunities. Most of his fans still won't admit that he's losing a step. It's easier to blame Canelo for 'running', and accuse Byrd of everything from corruption to ******ity.

I don't buy this "lost a step, declining" argument. The guy was completely overhyped all the way to the moon and, when the time came to prove himself against better, more skilled boxers, he was shown to be average. The end.

No need for a rematch.

I'll watch it again, but in all honesty, I usually give Canelo less rounds than what I originally did the 2nd time I watchone of his fights. Reason being is he tends to fight in spurts and tries to take breaks. That results in me being more aware of him getting outworked quite often over the 3 minute rounds. That's what seemed to be the case as I watched this fight on Saturday. He had nice flurries and some good movement but more often than not, ggg was in control for the majority of the round during most rounds.

fair enough, fights aren't won on ring generalship. It's hit and not be hit. I don't agree with compunox either and this isn't the first time. I know what I saw. I agree canelo gasses out to take rests and he did it again with ggg and he would go to ropes and challenge ggg and ggg did NOTHING! Even when canelo was testing he never even hit canelo clean except for that one over hand right which was a nice punch from ggg that hit him clean and canelo shook his head. That usually means it hurt, canelo didn't wobble and ggg didn't follow it up with anything. Ggg looked slow, got out boxed cleanly... if canelo was gassed, doesn't have good feet, and ggg cuts off the ring and has a great jab and is the harder puncher... why didn't ggg knock canelo out if a close decision was gonna go canelos way according to team ggg? Canelo won man and it wasn't as close as anyone thought. Can't wait to see the official replay on Saturday on mute. I believe canelo took 5 of the first 6 rounds and the last three... 7,8,9 were all close not dominated by ggg... that's a canelo win to me.

You're probably right, but at least my "lost a step" argument generously let's Golovkin's fans have the benefit of the doubt that he may (once upon a time) have been as good as they thought he was. But no, they're too stubborn to accept an excuse that let's them save their dignity.
