“Golovkin is a guy who’s starting to slip,” Atlas told Cooney and Randy. “I said this before it was popular to say, that he was an overrated guy. I said it on your air, you guys jumped all over me!”
****, boom, sharp combo, a one-two followed by an overhand right, and a hook to cap it…
He not only offers his blunt take on Golovkin, but takes a jabbing stab at the hosts for not jumping on board that boat with him.
Teddy continued, a sharp ring general in command of his real estate. GGG was beating up on 154s, he asserted, middle aged Euros, as he built up his rep.
“Golovkin won the first fight, won it clearly…but in the rematch I’m gonna go the other way, for Canelo, because Golovkin is slipping,” the New Yorker stated. “Canelo wasn’t sure that he could handle the size and the strength of GGG, now he is sure, and I think he is going to be more consistent from an offensive standpoint in this rematch, and he might win the fight easy.”
I asked Abel about Teddy’s take on the GGG v Canelo rematch, and that “overrated” tag.
“Atlas is the one who is overrated, always has been. Finally ESPN took the blindfolds and ear plugs off to clearly see and hear that,” Sanchez told me.
Yes, shots fired. He is a proud and also at times feisty fellow who cares deeply about his loyal charge, Golovkin, and comes to the defense against attackers.
“Opinions are easy to offer, look at the ones before the first fight,” Sanchez continued. “The bottom line is, the fight proved who was best and the public knows what the score should have been. Those opinions are irrelvant, and people like Teddy Atlas and Adalaide Byrd seem to use a beautiful and dangerous sport to make themselves relevant.”
