Espn: Ggg not in line for september canelo bout

[Boxing_1013]

Hmm, I see what you're saying but Canelo never really at any point of that hurt him. Jacobs startled Canelo pretty bad can't remember which round it was but I do know both Jacobs and GGG landed the more telling shots against him that actually had an impact.

I just feel Canelo if he wasn't the big name he was he would be losing because of his low output, he doesn't land as much as stats says he does. We need to get Canelo under fair circumstances where paid off judges don't influence a decision.

I hear ya...I felt Canelo won 7-5 iirc...one of those weird fights for me where I could see that score and not much else...I do agree though that in general I felt Jacobs wasn't getting as much credit as he deserved in that fight and basically gave as good as he got.

I just tend to in general favor the aggressor in a fight and I don't feel Danny really did enough to win...also, not that it is a scoring criteria - but Danny just 'looked' like he was losing to me as that fight went on...I just found it hard to give him rounds at the end of some of those rounds.

For sure we agree that Canelo as the popular fighter he is, he definitely gets all the help he needs out there. And I certainly agree that he too often fights in spurts...and especially against someone like GGG that is a bad recipe...partially for that reason I felt those 2 fights were pretty straightforward wins for GGG...GGG is so active that many of those rounds were just clear rounds for him based on output.

Canelo to me definitely fought better and was even more consistent with his effort in the 2nd fight...felt he had fewer stamina issues in that one as well...also I felt he put himself in some of the rounds against GGG where GGG outlanded him, because Canelo for me landed the better punch or combo of the round.

But yeah, when you are outlanded by multiple punches almost every round, I mean it is hard to give that guy rounds ya know? At best you can make some of them close rounds and even maybe take a good percentage of those...and I actually did that for Canelo in both fights...but even then it was an 8-4 type victory for GGG in both. Low output vs high output means very few clear rounds for someone like Canelo.

But yeah my friend I definitely agree that it would be nice if fights and fighters could be judged purely on merit and nothing else would matter...sometimes we get that but usually there is some favoritism or home cooking...for that reason it would be great if the real boxing fans on a forum like this would keep it real about what we see in these fights and fighters...but most of us on here are just as bad as anywhere else lol...oh well what can ya do..still a fun sport to analyze and watch and appreciate.

i have ZERO interest in a 3rd fight. the g string mafia will NEVER give credit. it'll be more b.itching and excuses.

GGG turns down a career high payday for the first fight then claims he's a victim in the media, because he thinks he's the one guy in boxing who shouldn't make concessions and latching on to Canelo's name is the best way to attract publicity for himself. In the rematch, GGG threatens to kill the fight unless he receives an inflated co-A side split. Canelo overpays him to get it done, lets him pick the judges, fights his fight and beats him according to the standards put forth by his team, yet GGG again turns around and plays the victim when his own team said it was a fair decision. Meanwhile, GGG didn't call for an immediate rematch, instead he took his time in hiding recovered from his injuries and bruised ego, and when he finally reemerged it was against an overmatched opponent, yet has the nerve to tell top fighters to stand in line while he cherrypicks as he pleases like he was the boss in the division. To top it off, he tries to diss Canelo for beating Jacobs comfortably after he went life and death with him. Once he finally feels up to the task of a third fight, he demands Canelo make it on his time line and even tries to dictate the venue? GTFO

Lol...bro...how did you score the first two? Genuine question.

Thought Canelo fought well at times in both fights..but GGG's activity round in and round out just gave him pretty straightforward victories...no shame in that though, he fought GGG better than anyone else.

Probably some truth to many people not giving Canelo full credit if he gets a legit win in fight 3 though...people will cite GGG's age etc...but it's probably fair to point those things out...depends on how he looks and the fight would go.

But man to say GGG fans would never give credit lol...I mean that's basically all I see from GGG 'haters' bro...just refuse to give an inch on what has been a great career for him...just my 2 cents anyway my friend.

Edit - to be fair though, there is a lot of hate that goes around for all fighters and from all fan bases...usually it is always over the top...oh well it is what it is..fans get fanatical nothing new

GGG should fight Jacobs again.
