Comments Thread For: Hopkins: Canelo's Speed & Chin Were Key, Golovkin Got Tired

[BirdSong]

jeez it was golovkin finishing the stronger, canelo may have just pipped the final round but only just if he did, thats how close it was, hopkins must have about 10 alts on this site p

GGG was clearly tired I mean he only out threw Canelo in practically every round and threw like 100 punches in the 12th round. He was exhausted for sure.

Canelo has a hell of a chin but cause he survived doesn’t mean he should of got the nod. I don’t know where this Golovkin got tired mess is coming from the man was clearly dominating the last 4 rounds up until the last minute of the fight.

Ggg lost plain & simple,you don't win championship fights by getting outlanded in power shots 143 to 116,& body shots by 54 to 6. And what happened to all that b s you were talking before the fight about how "running don't win fights",Canelo whooped triple L from pillar to post & showed just Like Ward & Kovalev he can beat him going Backwards or forwards,& today triple L disgraced his own so called "Mexican style" & adopted a supposedly "slick brotha runner style" by being much more defensive minded than opponent & by landing only nothing but weak jabs the whole fight.

Yeah, I have to agree with you on this one.

You dumb gggstan,you know damn well you were saying ggg won the 1st fight because of canelo supposedly running the whole fight(because he didn't block w his face) the only ones filling out scorecards were the gggstans like you whos been sucking them salty nuts daily & daily fanboi hating canelo. Hypocrite,you don't know jack sh about boxing, otherwise you'd accept g got whooped from pillar to post though it was still close he only landed jabs.

Sorry Hopkins, but 36 years of past prime IS partly a BIG factor against a very good 28yr old, especially when considering Golovkins pressurized endurance style. GGG fights the same as he ever did, but he's not the same energenic fireball he couldve been - like he used to be at at 28 or even 32......Not saying Golovkin surely would have won if he was younger, just saying he probably would have NEVER "backed up" against Canelo(?) especially when the going got tough with the style that favored his......Nevertheless, Canelo was DRUG FREE while winning this tough fight!.....RESPECT to the DRUG FREE DON!!....who probably DID foolishly consume tainted meat when he easily (with his big money) couldve imported "meat" from anywhere else in the world.......That never should have been an issue for Team-Canelo since Mexico was put on notice for over 8 years.....

You dumbasses need to stop giving the credit for waiting until a fighter gets old to a few body punches. GGG has been declining for years and he was huffing and puffing badly by the 5th round against Willie Monroe Jr too, where you could see he was already declining. That's part of GGG "letting" Monroe hit him was that he was tired enough where he decided letting Monroe unload a few punches on his face was worth taking a little breather. You guys keep wanting to overhype fighters you like by giving them all this credit for a few punches they landed within a fight most people did not even think they won. You did the same thing with Kovalev-Ward before your opinion got completely exposed when it came out that Kovalev had been partying and drinking for awhile and his stamina was complete ****. The same exact thing happened to him vs Mikhalkin and Alvarez even after he fought Ward, and to a large extent vs Chilemba before he fought Ward as well.

All these guys are doing are waiting until a fighter gets old and his stamina goes in the toilet, then claiming their body punches are what tired him out when really, GGG has so much muscle around his midsection, he can take a great body shot. That wasn't the issue. The issue was at his age, he gasses out quickly.

Well said. At GGG’s age only really Hopkins was still competitive at this weight, all the other greats were fading fast and GGG was actually throwing more than the younger man. It’s being overlooked that GGG is that much older and has far more mileage (inc his amateur career). I personally don’t want G to do it again, he has nothing to prove, he already beat Canelo once, last night was probably a draw, unless of course he plans to emulate someone in similar shoes in the next bout - Marquez!

I’m a hypocrite? The jab doesn’t mean much to you all of a sudden but when it fits your agenda with ward you say that’s how ward beat kovalev in the first fight. You the definition of a stan you’re not a boxing fan you’re a boxing groupie. This is was a different fight canelo had to adjust his style and he did but he still got outboxed.

GGG will be knocked out in a trilogy.

He is depreciating.
