Comments Thread For: Bernstein: If Canelo Gets a Year, GGG Rematch May Not Happen

Yawn...nothing new here.

He won’t get a year. They’ll ban him long enough for it to look like they mean business but not enough to put the big payday in any real jeopardy.

Almost everybody said May 5 will not be cancelled since there's too much money involved.

2 years suspension. 1 year is a light punishment...

If Canelo gets a year, I expect Golovkin to face Derevyachenko or Saunders later in the year. After that, who knows what will happen.

Unfortunately this is the most realistic probability.

IBF says Gennady Golovkin could be stripped of belt if he fights Vanes Martirosyan
Dan Rafael ESPN
4/18/2018

In the letter, Torres outlined the reasons for the IBF's refusal the grant approval for Golovkin to defend against Martirosyan. The IBF's reasons for refusing the approve the fight are same reasons why the proposed bout with Martirosyan (36-3-1, 21 KOs), 31, a 2004 U.S. Olympian from Glendale, California, has received so much criticism from boxing fans and media: Martirosyan is coming off a loss, he is a junior middleweight who would be moving up in weight and he has not fought in two years.

If Golovkin goes ahead with the bout against Martirosyan, the IBF said it would invoke its rule 5.H, which states, "If a champion participates in an unsanctioned contest within his prescribed weight limit, the title will be declared vacant whether the champion wins or loses the bout. The championships committee, with the approval of the (IBF) president, will then establish a new champion in that division in accordance with the procedures established and prescribed in these rules."

My point still stands

Nice try, doe. LOL

[chubuk7]

Good! Fck this rematch. Golovkin has spent the last four years sniffing Canelo's ass for a payday. One is enough. Stop sniffing. "All the belts" doe. Fckin fraud. Canelo has no damn belt.

Canelo is a good boy.

So? Does anyone even really care? I personally don't.
