Comments Thread For: Canelo vs. Golovkin Rematch Finalized For May 5, HBO PPV

You need to take another look at the fight. Canelo utilized the wrong game plan. Going to the ropes and taking off minutes of almost every round is asking to lose.

and GGG still coouldnt hit canelo while he was on the ropes.

All im saying is that GGG did not dominate especially when canelo was landing the cleaner punches all night and definitely landed more power punches (im not going off compubox numbers).

Should I make a thread about low blows now or wait until after the fight is over?

Andre Ward isn't on the card!!! Just wait for his return

[rrayvez]

Canelo will take a clear 15-13 UD this time around.

a clear decision that is 1 round off from being scored a draw?? Lol ok

I'm glad they made it official within more than 3 months before fight night. This is what boxing is about, the best fighting the best. I can't wait!

Ditto........

I've defended Peter Nelson before many times, but if he is going to blatantly lie to the fans in press releases in the hopes of tricking and pulling the wool over the eyes of casual fans who don't know any better, then you're not going to see me defending him very often in the future. First they ruin the best matchup in the sport-again-by waiting too long, which is already an injury to the fans, so to speak, but now they add insult to that injury by lying to try to cover up how much they ****ed the sport over again out of greed by trying to determine the outcome ahead of time, instead of just letting the boxers decide it in the ring in their primes. They did this by waiting until the older, less marketable boxer is past his prime so that they can use him to build the name of the younger cash cow.

The only other two times Canelo has looked as fast and explosive as he did last September was when he fought Chavez Jr, and Angulo. You know what all those fights have in common with Canelo-GGG? All three were against faded, slowed down, either past prime or drained or both, opponents. Angulo was past prime with no snap left on his punches, so Canelo was able to light him up with combinations between every slow attempted punch. Chavez Jr was so drained he had no snap either. And GGG, similar to Angulo, had lost much of the snap off his punches with age. He just started off from a much higher skill level, and had much better fundamentals such as a the jab, so he was able to outpoint Canelo that way, but his faded reflexes still had the effect of making Canelo look way better than he ever has except against Angulo and Chavez Jr, just like the corrupt boxing establishment planned it. It's like they have simply been planning to wait until GGG got old to use him as a sacrificial lamb for their younger, more marketable, North American stars this whole time.

So as much as I've defended Peter Nelson being picky with his limited budget and only buying 50-50 fights, something that he hasn't even been consistent about the last half year anyway, I can't defend him anymore after he was either behind, or he allowed Oscar to, ruin GGG-Canelo, and now that he's adding insult to the situation by trying to mislead fans about it. He's still better than the guy that ran HBO when Haymon was there, as well as the last guy right before him who gave Andre Ward 2 mil to fight Edwin Rodriguez, and he's definitely better than Stephen Espinoza, but those aren't high bars to clear at all. HBO can still do much better, but the pattern is clear enough that it seems like they're not interested in doing better for boxing, they are just interested in money, in which case Peter Nelson's hands were probably tied on this one. But he still didn't have to come out and lie about it.

So, it's still fair to say Nelson is better then the rest of them recently, but I can't be a supporter of his after this either.

Let the crying, moping, excuses begin, I was reading your post till the bithching, moaning and I lost any interest. you F*** haters are so annoying!!! you and all of those that are doing this have 2 options to wit:

1. Either you buy the fight and enjoy it (and stop your bit**ing and moaning) OR

2. boycott the fight don't pay for a product you don't like, that's what I do. AND (stop your bit**ing and moaning) other wise STFU!!!

Good to see Golovkin staying in shape for the rematch. Less muscle this time as I predicted. More speed.

Could it hurt his punch resistance though bro? I know he's packing titanium for a chin doe

[PsychoPat]

Might have to change my username back to seriousbox now golovkins back in business "how was the fight gennady?" "it is serious, this is serious box"

You know if this would have happened 2 or 3 years like it should have GGG would have beat him pretty easily. Canelo pulled a Floyd and waited for him to get older and slower .

[Boksfan]

Why it took so long Delahoya to buy judges? He spent all money from the first fight on coke?

[Shadoww702]

Triple G out landed Canelo by a big gap shouldn't have been a draw... Not really hyped over the rematch more so looking forward to Wilder vs Joshua.

??? There was rounds where GGG landed 1, 2 ,3 times more??? Is that your big gap???
