Comments Thread For: Loeffler: Golovkin Will Be Even More Persistent in Rematch

he barely sc****d past two middleweights who are very good, but not great
he was being painted as being much better than thatComment

Was he. I predicted a knockout of Jacobs but I also said he would more impressive if he won a decision. Most people that picked G to win predicted a KO. The thought was G is primarily a puncher. Right but wrong. He has boxing skills to get him out of trouble (so far) if his power fails. Canelo and Jacobs were supposed to "light Golovkin up like a Christmas Tree" according to his detractors. That didn't happen. Canelo spent the majority of the fight in a defensive posture. Being a defensive fighter doesn't mean retreating to the ropes and getting outlanded there. That's what happened. It doesn't mean retreating because you have to. If you want to see an example of defensive fighters that use their defense to provide opportunities to land punches look at Sweet Pea Whittiker or Willie Pep. Those guys were defensive minded to achieve a purpose. Canelo simply ran out of ideas. His defense was predictable and didn't vary. Jacobs and Canelo were outboxed. I think it's a commendable achievement when a fighter's primary weapon doesn't do it for him and he has the boxing skills to make up for it.Last edited by TonyGe; 10-03-2017, 07:52 PM.Comment

he was painted as a stone cold killer who could beat anyone from 154-168
those paintings were drawn by his team, by the media, and by a HUGE percentage of his fanbase
what I saw was a very good middleweight with limitations, who was being very well managed/matched
now I even see insiders coming to that conclusionComment
