Comments Thread For: Hopkins: Canelo Will Do a 'Ward-Kovalev II' on Golovkin - Win Big!

[Kiowhatta]

It could have been a ploy to force Canelo to adopt the style he did, making it more of a boxing match. While Canelo was waiting for the big ones to come raining in, Golovkin was, as usual methodically and relentlessly pressing the action with punches seemingly more intent on scoring than destroying.
In other words, GGG won the battle of minds. It's just a theory, and I could be wrong, but Golovkin surely is smart enough to know that at this level of competition, he better have sharp boxing skills, for if he doesn't bludgeon Jacobs or Canelo he must attempt to outbox them, which no one expected him to do.

Hopkins badly want canelo to pull this off because 1. He works for golden boy and 2. He doesn't want ggg to break his mw defense record. So as knowledable as Hopkins may be, he's completely biased. Side note, Canelo is no where near as skilled nor does he have the same mindset as ward. Few do. So this prediction is highly unlikely.

I got called ****** when I said Canelo fans need to stop comparing Canelo to Ward though....

Canelo landed the cleaner and harder shots. He landed almost 50% power shots.

GGG fkn turned all Helen Keller in the ring and missed almost 500 punches...I see you dont know sht about defense or how to score a fight CJ Ross. I had GGG winning 7-5 but i wasnt passed out drunk by round 2 like you were.

11 rounds??? SMH...

the harder shots? Just because it's listed as a power shot doesn't mean it landed with actual power. Gggs jabs were sometimes harder than Canelos keep away right hands and slappy flurries that count as "power shots"

GGG better wear a steel cup.

Meanwhile, Hopkins wanted no part of Ward when he was active. Not that I would ever want to see that snore-fest.

tony weeks has just been confirmed as ref for canelo-ggg 2

They tried bribing the judges .. next time they're going for the ref.

Canelo might win but that would be UD or SD. If the GGG from GGG vs Leimux decides to come out, then its over for Canelo.

Cant argue there. But I saw some hits that snapped GGG's head way back. Like I said before I score fights by the ROUND not total. If a fighter wins a round what the other fighter does the next round doesnt mean squat to me for the round before.

If fighter A wins a round with only 10 punches landed and fighter B wins the next round with 30 punches landed Im not gonna be like damn!!! Thats a total of 20 more!!! He's whipping his ass 20-18 right now score...No! It' 19-19... Too many ppl fill their cards out after the fight and after they look at compubox.

And NO i dont look at just total punches landed that was a generic example.

Lemuix suks compared to Canelo. That's a very dumb example. Lemuix has the head movement of big F'n Tree, with GIANT jumbletron bullseye signs saying hit me HERE, here and here. Fury in his current state would probably be harder to hit then Lemuix is...
