Buddy is a very experienced and knowledgeable guy. Just like he turned out to be a good fit for Kovalev, I think McGirt is the right trainer for Golovkin at this point in his career.

Yeah, why not? -
Buddy probably wouldn’t take the low ball offer.Fighters get greedy at the end that’s why Dundee left SRL corner these new payment plans don’t seem to work out to well.Comment

GGG is 57 y/o. No trainer is going matter at this point.Comment

I like what McGirt did with Kovalev, but I don't love his overall success rate in big fights.
I think the real goal with a new trainer is getting a guy who can tweak what needs to be tweaked that gives GGG a better chance vs Canelo in the 3rd fight. And I think you want a voice in the corner that is intelligent, strategic & can see the adjustments that are needed during the fight that can keep GGG in the fight if he's behind or distancing himself if he's up.
I dig McGirt from back in the day & as a trainer overall, but I've never been impressed with his cornering so idk if he's THAT guy.Comment

Realistically, there is no being up or distancing oneself for any boxer against Canelo. Opponents can either knock him out, or expect an L on their record. Further adjustments will count for nought to Adalaide Byrd and co.
Real question is whether there is a trainer who can coach GGG to a stoppage victory, answer is probably not. Only once over 24 rounds did GGG look like stopping Canelo who recovered fairly quickly.Last edited by Weebler I; 04-24-2019, 11:03 PM.Comment

like I stated few months ago. that 6 fight deal, will face nobodies and look good, untill final fight be against Canelo (trilogy). and in the 3rd fight with Canelo, there will be a stoppage by McGirt. GGG is and was done, few years ago. nothing less, nothing more. respect to him though.Comment

Yea I don't buy this. Canelo damn near loss both fights on alleged setup fights & I think those fights were legit close so the scorecards were mostly fine with the obvious exception of Byrd's insane card.
I mean tell me which scorecards are the crazy biased ones of the other 5? 1st fight: 6-6 draw & 7-5 GGG (for the record I had it 6-6 myself), 2nd fight: 7-5 x2 Canelo, 6-6 draw (for the record I had it 7-5 GGG). Both fights were f#cking close & 5 of the 6 cards are 1 rd different (3 cards) or even (2 cards).
Those are sh^tty corrupt judges. Hope Oscar got his money back.
This wouldn't be a bad idea doe. I don't agree with you that GGG can't win a decision over Canelo (in Vegas or wherever), but even getting close to a stoppage with a KD or two is only gonna help sway things for GGG even if he doesn't stop Canelo so I do think the first fight version of GGG should be the guy who shows up, but he needs to go to the body more so he can swing more late rounds his way as Canelo tires.Real question is whether there is a trainer who can coach GGG to a stoppage victory, answer is probably not.

Judges can't be too obvious with their corruption, Byrd was publicly slaughtered for her card, they'd end up with an investigation. There's a skill to passing robbery off even if it insults a hardcore fan's intelligence, Wilder-Fury the latest example.
Canelo opponents can't win on the cards. Jacobs will probably find that out soon too. They can fight the perfect fight short of stoppage and the best they'll do would be a draw. A new trainer isn't going to change that for Golovkin.This wouldn't be a bad idea doe.

Well they still did a sh^tty job overall in the first fight cuz it was a draw. And if GGG had gotten a KD in the last round in the 2nd fight they'd have f#cked up to so very poor planning by these alleged corrupt judges that had the fight scored like a lot of fans did.
Thats complete bs. He ALMOST DID WIN on the cards. One round different in the first fight & he wins. Two rounds different in the second fight & he wins.GGG can't win on the cards. Jacobs will probably find that out soon too. They can fight the perfect fight short of stoppage and the best they'll do would be a draw. A new trainer isn't going to change that.
This isn't THAT much of a conspiracy. I don't deny there is some leaning going Canelo's way in a lot of his fights, but outside of the Byrd card in the 2 GGG fights that didn't happen. 5 of those 6 cards were fair & reasonable cards.
People go a lil insane with these outcomes & try to fit a crazier narrative then is really going on. I mean there were a lot of f#cking close rounds & I think they largely split them nicely in both fights since it was 7-5 Canelo x2, 7-5 GGG & 6-6 x2 minus that crazy ass Byrd card obviously as mentioned already.
It was completely reasonable for 5 of the 6 cards.Comment
