Comments Thread For: Golovkin: I'm Ready For The Rematch - Is Canelo Ready?

[Mr Objecitivity]

So if a boxer hits the other on the “arms” or shoulders it has always been perceived as a miss?

I’ll make it easier for you, let’s say one boxer hits the other on that arms one time in a round, and the other didn’t even make a swing.

Who wins the round? Henceforth, Landing on arms from power punchers has benefit of doubt, especially for casual fans. We don’t need to worry about that, we weren’t judges and industry had alternative views. Find me a pro who said GGg whooped nelo’s Ass!!!

I challenge you to find me where in the official rules it states that punches landing on the arms or shoulders are considered 'scoring punches'.

If punches landed on the arms / shoulders causes the opponent to be dropped (which rarely happens), then they may be considered 'scoring punches' because they would've caused an obvious 'EFFECT'. Likewise, if punches landed on the arms / shoulders causes the opponent to be stopped (which is another thing that rarely happens), such as from causing bout ending arm / shoulder injury or punches penetrating through the guard to the face / body, then they may be considered 'scoring punches' because of their EFFECT. However, why should any punches landed on the arm / shoulder which doesn't show any visible effect upon the opponent be considered 'scoring punches'? Otherwise, a punch landed on the arm shouldn't have any more worth than a thoroughly missed punch.

Because GGG landed more punches in 11 out of 12 rounds.

which punches would you rather had been getting hit by in that fight?

Meanwhile Canelo was slipping punches the entire fight, showing excellent defensive moves, and being aggressive with combos when appropriate.

I had it either a draw or 1 point win for GGG, can't remember, and this was after watching it close up on a big screen at a theater.

I hope GGG is in fact ready for the rematch, because he sure as he!! wasn't ready for the first match.

Nah. You're dreaming and/or wishful thinking. It was pretty well split between a draw and a slight win for GGG, and some with a Canelo win. Ain't the same GGG, that's the point, friend. And the rematch will be embarrassing for him.

No that's baloney. It wasn't close to a split in opinion.

Whatever you think bubba. I really don't care what your opinion is, just like no one cares what mine is.

pretty much this.
Alvarez is a new generation Mexican fighter. There were more cheers for Alvarez coming into the ring than Gennady. they were just dissapointed to see Nelo go into Black-Nelo 2.0 mode and move like never before, he's the anti-thesis of a Mexican fighter. he is pretty much Marquez in counterring but better mobility and far better than when Marquez was 27 years of age.
So Mexicans came there to see Alvarez win and wanted a KO. The boos were because Alvarez dissapointed. That will all be forgiven in time.
More importantly, Max Kellerman was grinding Golovkin because he knows what's up. In the post interview Golovkin was content with the DRAW and Max was hammering his contradictions. Lil'G said the verdict wasn't his problem and that he still had the belts, meaning he is glad he didn't lose, whereas Alvarez was clearly upset saying he won at least 7 - 8 rounds. If Alvarez felt it was all ok to give GGG credit, he would say he respected the judges call and that it was a tough fight. Alvarez said nothing of that.
Conclusion: LiL'G gone get knocked the fugg out in the rematch.
More importantly, if Lil'G says its not his problem and content with the DRAW then why in the **** does he want a rematch with Alvarez? Is GGG's brain like a 56K modem, he complains to press weeks later instead of on the spot?
Lil'G the fake. 154-168 EZ fomi

Yep. Canelo's defense and counter punching in the fight were top notch. It will be an eye opener for the GGG fans when Canelo seriously dominates or stops him in the rematch. And then all we'll hear from GGG fans will be silence.

Clean jabs versus half power shots.. Half power shots.

Is that why he got hit 200 times and only landed 100 shots?
Stops GGG? What makes you think he is able to stop GGG?

You're right. Pitty-patty punches.

[Lester Tutor]

You're right. Pitty-patty punches.

Wow. Golovkin’s face is susceptible to pitty-patty punches? Wow. Nelo doesn’t need to try and murk up Lil’Gs face...
