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

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).

I disagree that Canelo landed more power punches or at least enough to offset his periods of inactivity. A scoring punch is one that lands without being blocked even partially. A power punch is a punch that has a effect on the opponent. If a guy winds up and tees off on the other guy and that guy isn't affected it's not really a power punch. Golovkin's jab was forcing Canelo back. Canelo's flashy combinations couldn't force Golovkin backwards, retreat to the ropes or disengage. Anyway the official score is what it is. I think it was a major screw job but there is a rematch. I had to laugh because several years ago Oscar gave an interview saying that Golovkin couldn't fight going backwards. In reality we found out Canelo can't fight going backwards. Canelo could not stop the jab or counter it. The jab is the most basic punch in boxing.

Another Controversial Decision but this time Canelo GETS the Decisions if GGG can't knock him out or dominate from start to finish

Yeah it looks that way. I'm afraid G has to knock him out and Canelo has a good chin. I'm still picking G by KO in the seventh round.

Hey idiot. You know that Canelo missed with 400 punches right? 400. 400. 400.
400.









400.

Actually it was less than 400,he missed 336 punches & ggg missed 485 punches,& thats according to bs compubox which CLEARLY counted many of gggs blocked shots/weak taps on gloves etc...ok gggroupie?

Actually you couldn't be wronger,learn the sport moron,a power punch by default is not a jab for starters,I wont even bother addressing the other moronic fallacies...

You do know not even 3 years ago Canelo was fighting James Kirkland at 154??? Man your ******ed!

So your saying GGG got older waiting on a smaller guy to move up in weight???

This is as dumb as me saying GGG waited for Ward to get older and slower before he fought him.

ok whistle balls obviously you can’t read. Yes 3 years ago Canelo was fighting at JM but GGG said he would go down to JM. Now read carefully, I’m saying Canelo put this fight off even after knocking out Khan and the called GGG in the ring to tell him Mexicans don’t *** around for as long as he could. And yes I do believe he was waiting for GGG to show signs of slowing down and to get older. That’s my opinion. Let me know if there is an easier way to explain it to you .

Who's those two cats in your signature (especially the one in white)?

It's Michael Nunn against Frank Tate.
