Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Fans Deserve The Canelo vs. Golovkin Trilogy Fight

[Santa_]

They're 1-1 in my book.

This one will be for all the marbles.

We are yet to see how capable a fighter GGG even is at this stage. Let's face it, that boy got lit up like a Christmas tree TWICE in a row by Canelo and we know his mental state is quite bad (even Arum said his attitude was bad).

I respect GGG for what he is - a B level fighter who cherrypicks bums and knocks them out usually, but I'm not so sure he can take another sustained beating from a young Mexican stud like Canelo. Also, I think Abel forgot to tell him that Mexican style doesn't mean get punched in the face a lot, you need to throw punches back.

golovkin won both fights, but got lit according to you...pfft

Seeing that Golovkin made a fool of Canelo in the first fight and won a close decision in the second but got the wrong end of the decision both times its hard to see how he can win a third.

Woohoo go Canelo! King Canelo on deck! Attennnnnn-shun!!!

LMMFAO! Triple L should of fought S.O.G. when S.O.G. send him the offer. Triple L & his whole team knew he was not a great fighter that's why they waited for Nelo so they could cash out....LMMFAO!

the offer was a multi fight deal that called for him to postpone the canleo fight and fight ward instead. thats ******. you know its ****** yet you keep pretending cause you are a tribalist fanboy. it also would have been 50-50 and let ward pick the judges. yeah dont think that was a legit offer but keep pretending. ward was free and available and yet he needed more tune ups after just fightin paul smith. he didnt want the fight otherwise he would have said "lets fight now not in a year" stop with you bulls-hit fanboy

Thats not true.

Of the 5 reasonable scorecards in the 2 fights 2 had it 6-6, 2 had it 7-5 Canelo & 1 had it 7-5 GGG. So combined the non-******ed or non-corrupt judges got it scored 31-29 Canelo.

These guys are airtight close to each other & I think both outcomes were fair, split draw + majority decision for Canelo. I've leaned GGG's way (13-11 in their 24 rounds on my scorecard), but their were many close rounds that coulda went either way.

all of the judges were chosen and payed by canelo. please learn how boxing works. the judges always choose the a-side fighter so they can land more work and show to every other promoter "ill play ball!" its completely corrupt yet some fans just dont understand how ti works and why the a-side wins almost every single time

GGG would be lucky to see all 12 rounds their next bout.

Yeah, because Golovkin was staggered in the 10th round of the last fight, right?

I think there lies the crux. Canelo has a huge history of judges leaning his way (even against Floyd). When there are only 3 judges, having 1 in your pocket, or at least being favorable to you, is a huge, huge advantage - especially when the fighters are so evenly matched as you say.
Combine it with GBP insisting that the fights are in Vegas, where Canelo is the house fighter, it's easy to see why most think Canelo wont lose on the cards against Golovkin.

G is getting old and obviously they ain't fighting this year.
