    Canelo vs Rocky = Bumfight

    I had only seen this Rocky get blasted in one round against Smith, so I knew he was cannon fodder. Maybe running for 12 rounds like Chavez.
    But walking in there and just letting a small guy pound away at you like a heavy bag, using no jab or lateral movement, it looked too much of a pre fixed fight. I mean at least he should have tried to box a little like Khan or something. This was just pure garbage for anyone watching.
    I like Canelo despite his meat-eating habits, but this was like when Tyson blasted a McNeely; ridiculous.

    I referenced that fight before hand.

    But tbf McNeeley at least charged at Tyson, lol.

    I think Rocky got very tight and anxious and legs turned to noddles.

    He’s better than that but the stage was far too big for him never mind the talent gap

      Fights like this are a regular sight in boxing, but when Golovkin was lining up bum fight after bum fight he was called exciting and an ATG.

        he just stood there and let Canelo use him as a punching bag for three rounds, and every time he dropped he looked at his corner to throw in the towel. He showed up for a paycheck, it was pathetic.

            He quit at the end aswell. As soon as the ref waved his arms he got back up to his feet straight away. It was a shameful performance

                Yeah it's annoying any thread about Canelo turns into a GGG hate thread, same with Joshua/Wilder threads. Both groups of fans are such insecure children.
