Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Confident Canelo-Golovkin Will Have a THIRD Fight

[Willy Wanker]

If Canelo wins, there won't be a third fight.

well if its another draw or if the winner wins by 1-2 points then a trilogy makes sense.

this fight should do better PPV numbers than the first too. and if that occurs a trilogy is pretty much a certainty. making the Rock announce it was a good look. thats the highest paid actor in hollywood. major plug.

I didn’t even think the first fight was all that. It was a good not great fight IMO.

Agreed because Canelo chose to not fight and instead keep his back on the ropes and try not to get hit. He talked a lot of macho **** then couldn't back it up whatsoever.

And if the judging is just as bad as fight 1, yes, there will be a 3rd fight in 3 years while they wait for GGG to get even older.

I said this yesterday the fix is in for a trilogy absolute bollocks this is what is wrong with the sport.

What is the result of the second fight to setup for the trilogy?

Another draw?

This. I don't think the rematch will beat the first PPV numbers.

Assuming Canelo wins, let's say either in KO or convincing fashion, no one will want to pay for the third fight. I reckon the Mexican media would criticize Canelo for continuing to fight Golovkin when there are more elites in the 160 division. Again it all depends on the PPV numbers.

The worst just worst worst worst case scenario is that both parties are all fixing this just to benefit themselves where the fans are being taken advantage of. The latest video showing Canelo and Golovkin talking smack against each other seems so unnatural.

If Canelo wins. I am more than sure they will finalize the BJS fight. The only problem is that Oscar and Canelo will not approve of the WBC, so Charlo will acquire the WBC. OR, industry will approve the Undisputed unification between Saunders and Canelo. Charlo will have no pull in acquiring the WBC if Undisputed unification happens. It would be a scandal if the WBC does not acknowledge Undisputed for Canelo vs Saunders.

Persistence. Maybe by the third fight GGG will be old enough that Little Red Diva might be able to beat him.

The only problem is...that GGG beat him 8 rounds to four in real life. A huge disparity. Canelo will never KO GGG and in fact I hope he tries. GGG hopes he tries. People are giving this little catch weight queen WAY too much credit for LOSING the first fight.

Exactly. Here's to hoping that Canelo tries to KO GGG, because GGGs counter will put him down. A punch has more power when someone walks into it vs backing away from it. It's funny because GGG walked into Canelos punches and nothing happened.

[Eff Pandas]

This is about as close as I can get to agreeing with Oscar...but I'm not really happy about it.

But yea with the fight fight being a draw (& despite Byrd's corrupt or incompetent scorecard I ultimately believe the split draw was a fair decision) I think a third fight, assuming this one isn't a blow out without controversy, does make sense within the next 9-18mos of the 2nd fight with the target date likely being May 2019.

Little G is already shot, this fight ends his career IF Canelo drops more of the same bombs he landed on Golovkins chin in there first encounter that resulted in Canelo getting robbed ; but I think Oscar is telling Canelo to take it easy on the geezer to milk him for another Cinco De Mayo! VIVA CANELO!!! VIVA JALISCO!!! GUADALAJARA!!! AAAAWAAAYEYEYEYEYE!!!

LMAO!! Canelo will die in this fight, teaching all Mexicans that the RUSSIANS own boxing now and they will have to be content being in second place!

Браво Россия !! Лучшие боксеры в мире! Мексика номер два. Да здравствует GGG
