Comments Thread For: Golovkin Will Likely Rest, Evaluate Options For 2019
Collapse

There had been some talk coming into this past weekend's rematch between Gennady Golovkin and Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, of Golovkin returning in mid-Decmber. But given the result of that hard-fought contest and the physical nature of it, those plans will most likely be shelved.

Plan A:
fight Canelo again
Plan B:
1) fire Loeffler
2) fire Sanchez
3) fight somebody with a pulse
which is what somebody who wished to trouble boxing historians would have done in the first place
tick-tock, times a wastin
come on Gennady..... the undefeated record no longer needs protecting..... Hopkins record no longer needs protecting..... live up to your promisesComment

Check all the times he got into the pocket missing while he was hit back 2-3-4 times when the exchanges happened.
Sorry, they robbed Golovkin on the last two fights and it is a shame that we have to keep this culture of fanboyism and giving the "younger" guy the victories because he will be the next money making machine.
You either win or you don't.Comment

Well let's not forget that Alot of fans, both Canelo and Triple g fans had Canelo winning. A few Triple g fans on this site had Canelo winning as well as alot of boxers, both current and former boxers.
People are always gonna disagree with the outcome if the fighter they was rooting for lost but that's part of the sport. But I sincerely feel this way was super close and could have gone either way..
It's funny out of the room I was watching it in, the only person who had Canelo winning don't like boxing and doesn't know a damn thing about boxing. Which is kind of my su****ion in this forum.
Just as, the only prominate voice in boxing not directly tied to Canelo that had him winning was Ward who has a grudge against GGG. So not really non biased. Most had GGG up but said they could have lived with a draw. Damn near nobody had Canelo winning that fight.Comment

My only argument with that is that it's the judges that ruin boxing.
I just love the sport. And of course there's going to be controversial decisions. But when so many fans and experts are going against the judges there's a problem.
Both these fights have a huge stink in the decision. And I know GGG haters will pull up Danny Jacobs. But please show me a huge list of people questioning that outcome. It doesn't exist because, while it was a close fight a close fight ain't supposed to go to a challenger.
no there's not, that is bullshht
1) 90% of fans are casuals who don't know how to score a fight
2) who cares what casuals think
this is nothing new, boxing has always worked that way
ALL three judges saw the same thing, which should be enough information to make an intelligent man think, what did I miss/where did I go wrong?..... and until that becomes enough information, nothing will change
never underestimate the power of ****** people in large groups
there are 4 official scoring criteria, Canelo won ALL of them lolLast edited by aboutfkntime; 09-18-2018, 02:01 PM.Comment

The first fight was an easy 8-4. 7-5 being acceptable.
The last fight I had 7-5 with a Draw being acceptable.
I've seen you're posts so I know you're extremely biased.
With all the exceptionally close rounds, GGG never really looking more than tired and never once touching the ropes (while canelo was hurt twice and did) GGG outworked and in most outlanded explain how Canelo won those rounds?
he controlled the fight, landed the better punches by using effective aggression, while also exhibiting superior defenceLast edited by aboutfkntime; 09-18-2018, 02:02 PM.Comment

I wouldn't go that far. I would agree there isn't near the anger of the last result. A very few GGG fans are accepting the outcome because it was an awesome fight. A lot of Canelo fans aren't accepting the outcome because he was gifted a decision that at best was a draw. Because you're supposed to beat the champ. An even round with the champ ain't beating him.
It's funny out of the room I was watching it in, the only person who had Canelo winning don't like boxing and doesn't know a damn thing about boxing. Which is kind of my su****ion in this forum.

But at the end of the day it's a Canelo victory so it is what it is.
Much props to both fighters for a great fight though. That we can at least agree on...Comment

It was a competitive fight, that does not mean Canelo won. He lost.
Check all the times he got into the pocket missing while he was hit back 2-3-4 times when the exchanges happened.

You either win or you don't.
I watched the fight live and I was drunk so I gotta wait till Saturday night to watch the replay and make an honest assessment of the fight.Comment
