Forget it Shadowman. I just got these points and just figured out how to put them in the bank. What the hell im supposed to do with them,...I haven’t a clue!!!!! Why’d you change your avatar? The Southern Cal avi was cool. I told you the Buckeyes would whoop that ass!! ��

I honestly think GGG was head hunting in a effort to make a statement via a KO. Unfortunately for him, I think he started his attack too late in the fight. Had the fight gone on for a few more rounds he probably would have gotten the Ko but 15 round fights are a thing of the past. Nor do I think GGG forgot to go to the body, and yes he had plenty of chances toward the end to lay into Canelo without fear of counters because Canelo was shelling up his head like a turtle. GGG just wanted the KO and failed to get it. I’m anxious to see this rematch and see what adjustments both fighters will make in preparation for this fight. Should be a good one.

it was Canelo's control of distance, using footwork that you guys insisted he did not possess..... that, and his sharp counters

Agreed, but why did the big bad wolf not tee off on the lil fat red kid when he was on the ropes? He shouldn’t of went to the ropes? Why not, your opponent isn’t doing anything from stopping you from resting on those ropes... anyone would go to ropes to rest if your opponent isn’t doing anything, but throwing tippy tap stat stuffing patty cake harmless jabs and missing everything else he throws... that’s like sparring lol

His sparring gained him points. I know you don't agree but Canelo can't let another guy play with him on the ropes and really not do much in return. It wasn't a good strategy on his part. Like I said in other threads his own corner was telling him to get off the ropes. All G had to do was keep landing those small punches and score points. I know you don't see it that way but there is a reason most fighters, trainers and coaches had Golovkin winning.

That’s very possible. Can’t hate on that

[omh]

But His trainer always tells him to get off the ropes in his fights and sparring and has been asked about canelo doing it and he says he doesn't like it but canelo likes to play there and all he can do is warn him to get off

His trainer was right it finally caught up to him.

old stroke face has always been a ggg detractor. atlas is always wrong in his predictions anyway LMAO!!! you just cursed the ginger bitch.

Truth!only respectable statement of atlas is that Pac battered jeff horn,now canelo falls down from khazakh thunder’s punch

[turnedup]

Well it’s pretry obviou, you and i and most boxing fans can agree that boxers don’t fear other boxers for the most part, ggg said anyone from 154-168 won’t go twelve with him claimed a hof in Cotto ducked him, a hof in Ward ducked him, he had one ONE significant Win. If we are being honest, i can’t root for a fighter who claims everyone and there mom ducked him and waited till his mid 30’s to fight someone with a pulse in his weight class, also the fact he has never moved up in weight doesn’t sit well with me, but had he fought all the best fighters at 160 from the jump, I wouldn’t be mad at him. The fact he waited till he is 30+ is no bueno amigo. Just my two cents. But everyone ducked him right? Please

First, we are designating a statement made by his trainer and attributing it to him. The ducking of this guy goes back to 2012 and you even have a promoter in Dibella admitting to it. In his own words, not transcribed by a writer but on video saying he didn't want "that monster" for his fighter. He waited? Again, you are designating blame on the fighter for the shortcomings of his promoter, which I again have been very critical of. The only fighter in that five year span that didn't duck him was Ward because he was under legal duress with his promoter at the time and by the time he came back he couldn't make 168. If you are going to hate the guy bro, hate the guy for what he's done himself which is fight and speak horrible english. Could he have done more for himself? Maybe, but what's the point in playing the heel in boxing when you can't speak the language. It works for Kovalev because he has a better grasp of the language.

Overrated because Canelo is only the 3rd world champion he’s fought and one guy was a welterweight champion.

And who's fault was that??
Golovkin was always willing to fight the best, the best competition available just didn't want any. For an overrated fighter, he sure had the rest of the division shook. Now that he's 35 years old and he's been in a couple of competitive fights all the young guns want a piece of him all of a sudden.
People saying Canelo should KO this old man are pretty delusional. They were saying the same thing first time around when Golovkin was considered past his prime. Golovkin has an iron chin. I doubt Canelo damages him unless Golovkin's resistance has somehow miraculously declined. People need to remember, Golovkin was old first time around. He'll be 36 by the time of the rematch. If he has slowed any since then, or Canelo fixes his stamina problems, he can definitely win the fight but by knock out? I have serious doubts about that. Golovkin has never shown any vulnerability as far as his ability to take a punch is concerned.

You do remember that he didn't win right? Canelo showed some skill but didn't do enough to get the W. Being someone who trashes everything Golovkin does, I'm sure you were real sore when Canelo didn't get the win.
It baffles me how bias and delusional some fans are who don't even give the "old man" credit when he draws with the much younger, fresher fighter when most people thought Golovkin won the fight.
