He's my favorite fighter since Kessler, they both have similar character virtues...or should I say flaws in this line of work. Saul gets a lot of respect for how he came out this fight, rightly so but there were a few moments (in both fights actually) that Golovkin could have roughed him up some, however Gennady would always step back & reset. He constantly gives respect in the ring by acknowledging opponents blows as well or their skill in maneuvers. He needs to get fk'n mean. Mad dog him. Not dirty, just more physical.
To be honest, I feel it's about guts & getting your hands dirty. I used to think GGG was an absolute killer, but he's too much of a gentleman, similar to how Wlad was. He needs to become more Vitali if he hopes to get a decision against Canelo. This is not to say that he's soft by any stretch, simply too respectful. For what? The cheater's a good boxer but he's gotten all the advantages that you've been denied. He needs a chip & perhaps this loss finally makes him realize it. Working smarter, not necessarily harder.
Wasn't sure if any of the talk he has done over the past 6 months would translate into the ring or not, it didn't...he needs to change that. He had plenty of fuel to be enraged but he still showed way too much respect. Work the body, get more physical, use your strength & size as an advantage, then rub his face in it. When you're opponent is tired you need to lean on him, not give him more space! I think he outboxed Canelo this bout but that's not going to always work, you need to know when to work all your advantages, he's not doing so.
Could swear the TS asked for unbiased opinions yet you three knuckleheads offer nothing to a conversation & think people gave a crap what you even have to say? Low hanging fruit? At least bring some valid points if you don't like a guy, really raising that bar here!
