Comments Thread For: Hopkins: Canelo Must Go To The Body To Stop Golovkin

[TonyGe]

the fat red kid lit that boy up like a christmas tree

Golovkin needs to work on.....

* establishing a dominant jab
* cutting off the ring
* working the body

all things that Golovkin fans said would be dominant

those things have been his plan A, B, and C, every single fight..... but they were not quite good enough to beat Canelo..... who will be far better off with that fight under his belt and far more confident

the smarter fighter will make the better adjustments, and the smarter fighter is Canelo

Canelo isn't a smart fighter. He abandoned the center of the ring where he had some success. He retreated to the ropes. If Golovkin doesn't have the dominant jab like you say and can't cut off the ring like you say the Canelo was an idiot to go to the ropes voluntarily. He should of worked the body more I agree but then so should of Canelo. Speaking of jabs, Canelo didn't have an effective jab in that fight.

the ropes were safe, Canelo was setting traps

Golovkin could not hurt Canelo on the ropes..... he was hesitant to open up, and did not work the body at all

I said that Golovkin would be hesitant and non-committal when he realized how sharp Canelo was..... just like he was with Jacobs

and Canelo's jab was excellent

before that fight I would have said that Canelo is better than Golovkin in every department but two..... now I think he could be better in every department, period

the better fighter will make the better adjustments in the rematch..... just like Ward/Kovalev

Last time I checked and watched the fight, Canelo was attacking the body. Not sure what Bernard Hopkins was watching. So either of following 2 happened:

1) Gennady Golovkin wasn't affected by Canelo's body punching, because he was just too tough to be affected.

2) Gennady Golovkin wasn't affected by Canelo's body punching, because his defense against body punching
was sufficiently good enough.

So the truth is, Canelo couldn't 'effect' Golovkin much with his 'INEFFECTIVE' body punching for either one of, or both of the reasons I mentioned above.

You must of heard or read about the fight cuz Nelo went to the body plus others punches....he should of gone there more often.

That's the point. Why didn't he do it more often? Because he couldn't. Then other guy takes your weapons away. That's boxing. The whole point is people were talking about him stopping Golovkin to the body "because Kovalev". What nonsense. You must have heard or read about Golovkins whole career if you think he's vulnerable to the body since he's never been hurt or down.

Ward-Kovalev II!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same fpr GGG. GGG must also go the body more to win by KO. if GGG lands more body shots on canelo there is no way Canelo sees the final round. He must work on that.

Ok whatever. His so called traps cost him the fight.
