Comments Thread For: Canelo-Golovkin: We Saw it Coming

Another devastating black eye to the sport. You all can thank Coke La Hoya for ripping off the fans yet again.

The only black eye is the one GGG sporting after the fight along with a totally rearranged face.



But hey you told me if Canelo goes toe to toe mexican style he was getting Knocked out? It was GGG who was backed down and given a Mexican Style azzz whooping. You had excuses for GGG missing 500 punches and incapible of landing anything but jabs the first fight. He missed 600 punches the second fight again scared to throw any body shots AGAIN and was just a jabber. The bigger man so called boogeyman destroyer turned into a jabber walked down getting phuked up to the face and body by the little man you called a runner. All we get is tears and excuses from GGG

Americans hate Russians and all Communists like GGG

Tell commie GGG to go fight in Russia where GGG belongs. Russians are hated and despised in America for good reason. Canelo was going to win a decision if not KO'd and that is fair. Why let a hated Russian Communist make the big money and keep the belts. Go back to commie land GGG.

Shhh, don't tell The President.....

Shhh, don't tell The President.....

There was no way GGG was getting a decision in America.

Jabs alone don't necessarily win fights. Power punches- which Canelo clearly won, carry more weight than jabs. For example, if one man lands two jabs in one round and his opponent lands only one power punch, but with that one punch busted up his opponent's nose to a bloody mess... who do you really think won that round?

And not only did Canelo brutalize Triple G's body and face as you could tell who actually beat up who at the end of the fight, but he was also the overall aggressor. The judges take all of these things into account. And the reason Canelo didn't win by a wider margin is perhaps due to the more, but less effective jabs that Triple G landed.

Canelo beat up Triple G and won the fight, don't let your eyes deceive you otherwise. Just look at the aftermath.

So are we just going to ignore the middle and late rounds in which GGG started to rally back and staggered Canelo twice? Yes Canelo had plenty of success and I even thought he was vulnerable to being KO'd when he began to gas out but like a champ he showed true grit.

I understand a jab is a sissy punch especially when you are getting backed up by the alpha male and getting your face busted up by powerful hooks and uppercuts. Golovkin wasn’t controlling distance. He was backing up. He didn’t want to be backing up. He backed up because the ring General FORCED him too. You don’t win rounds with a meager little jab when your getting tagged up with power shots to the body and head. Golovkin was so inferior he couldn’t go to the body’s because Canelo would have punched his head off his shoulders and he feared that very much! He didn’t control anything!! Canelo controlled everything and dictated to Golovkin what he could and not do!! Canelo was so in command that Golovkin might have been asking him permission to use the restroom after the fight!

You obviously must of watched a fantasy version of this fight. Or totally do not understand ring generalship. Good for you.

Even if that were true, i'm not a reporter/writer. They should be giving unbiased opinions and facts. The most famous one (fat dan) is one of the worst. Boxing media is trash.

Its funny how you have higher standards for the media than yourself. Humans are gonna human. No matter how much someone says they are not biased, they most certainly are. Some more than others. If you want to change the biases of this world, start with yourself because the market changes according to consumer biases.

Hey, they should do the third one in Kazakhstan - that will level the field. There, GGG will win even if he gets knocked out cold. Twice.

They could fly out Adalaide Byrd to even it up. Can see the ending now:

- Judge Adalaide Byrde has it 120-108, Alvarez...
- judge Sergey Imnotbentov has it 120-108....Golovkin
- judge Igor Imhonesttooov has it........

That about sums up the current judging system.

In my mind it's even 1 a piece, the longer you've been a boxing fan you start to put less and less stock in what judges say. If I don't watch a fight and it's not a knockout if it was close then I don't even speculate in favor of the winner, because I don't trust boxing judges plain and simple. If you're a true boxing fan you watch the fight then make up your own mind if it was close and I didn't watch it then I stfu. It gets complicated when you have your own bias in it, but in both of these fights I had absolutely no preference either way, so I was free to disregard the judges without having to worry about my own bias. I encourage all other fans of the sport to do the same.

[Mzembe]

Very biased article. Only talks about what Golovkin did during the fight. Writers for other sports don't show this kind of bias that is rampant in boxing writers articles. Very unprofessional and misleads casuals into thinking what the writer wants them to believe.

--------------------------------------

This line pretty much goes against the hogwash BS that you just wrote - "Maybe the scorecards will go against Alvarez one day, when he’s not the up and coming prospect [as he was against Floyd Mayweather]".

That line suggests that Canelo was robbed against Mayweather. Those score cards went against Canelo because he LOST, period. In fact one idiot judge had Canelo winning the fight.

I am not suggesting this write is biased. I actually agree with what he wrote mostly but you clearly can't comprehend context.
