Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Coach Doubts Age Will Be a Factor in Canelo Trilogy

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Abel Sanchez, the trainer for former world champion Gennady Golovkin (38-1-1, 34 KOs), is still hoping that a deal can be made for a third fight with Mexican star Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (50-1-2, 34 KOs). In September 2017, Canelo and Golovkin fought to a controversial twelve round split draw.

Of course it will be. Soon to be 37 year old GGG is definitely past his prime.

Sanchez is fooling himself or maybe he’s just trying to keep ggg in a positive mindset.

But if they do do it a third time Canelo stops ggg imo those body shots had ggg breathing hard early on.

Canelo is still improving, still developing

he looks better every fight

Canelo TKO 10, stoppage by corner

Canelo will knock GGG out in the trilogy.

GGG is fast deteriorating with age.

I had GGG as the winner of both fights - comfortable 1st and very close 2nd, but he was the away non-money fighter in Vegas against a Mexican on a Mexican holiday both times so needed a KO and didn't get it. However I can't see how age wouldn't be a factor by the time another re-match would be made. As hard as GGG hits a lot of his power came from timing, which is not quite what it once was and will only get worse the longer he stays in the game. I still think there's no pure brawler (Lemieux type) that could beat him at the weight, but he will struggle against an elite level slickster (Saunders type), or box-fighter (Canelo type) in a way he wouldn't have done a few years ago.

Golovkin is past his best, for sure. However, the reason he didn't win is more to do the fact that he couldn't move Canelo back and without that forward momentum and being able to pin him on the ropes most of his strongest attributes are taken away. When he's not on the front foot and is kept in the centre of the ring at mid-close range he's just too slow and doesn't throw combos well enough to be effective there against a skilled defensive operator with excellent counter punching. Without having an awesome jab like he does he would have been beaten very easily.

Canelo wins the rubber match easier IMO.

How Abel and Golokin act here forward? Abel and Golokin will no longer disrespect Canelo. how can sell trilogy?

Lol.. translation.. yes, GGG can fight again for money. Canelo will win the 3rd fight.. an ggg can ride off into the sunset. Lol

Hey, GGG!!!

Begging for money again? Stop it! Please stop it! It is enough!

You had known that you can't win Clenelo by decision in Las Vegas, and you couldn't win by KO. Third time will change nothing! You can't win!!! ... Please stop begging for money !!! Please don't ask for 3rd Clenelo fight! And please stop saying about Mexican style!

Fight Charlo, Saunders, Jacobs, Andrade !!!
