CANELO Schools ESPN Deportes: ''Golovkin Was No Monster''

[aboutfkntime]

Says the guy who couldnt make 154 anymore and camped out Golovkin 3 years at 155 because he was too afraid to move up.

Then after getting a gift draw in Vegas in the toughest fight of his career to that date gets slammed by all the mexican media for running. Then gets popped with PEDs and suspended. Then wins a highly controversial decision that no one again believed he deserved.

Canelo fans like to rag on GGG for not moving up to fight ward and suggesting a catchweight of 164.

Now imagine 155lb Canelo telling GGG who is in the same class to come down to 155.

Oh but Canelo is the A side!

In ward vs GGG who do you think the A side is? GGG.

IMAGINE GGG telling Callum smith hell only fight him but at a catchweight of 161 with a rehydration clause LMFAO.

Golovkin is nothing but he was never a 5 to 1 underdog like Kovalev. Golovkin was nothing but as soon as he edged a fight out

In vegas with home team scoring
PED boost
Another full year aging GGG (5 YEARS NOW)
with scores if 115x2 and 114-114

He ran instead of making the fight conclusive. Oh GGG is nothing that's why it's the best name on his resume. Oh. GGG is nothing but Canelo doesnt want a fight until GGG is 39 years old.

Lmfao. Canelos a killer.

too much whiney ******ity in that post to address

Bruh, explain to me how the usual suspects in this thread crying about GGG being old are the same ones whom PREDICTED GGG by KO.. “but but what’s Canelo going to do when GGG has him on the ropes?!”

“The same thing we do every night Pinky, try to show Canelo Rope’a’Dope a Monster’s World!”

they still cannot explain why G " forgot " to work the body...

but, they think the reason why Kovalev was not more aggressive... is because the fight was fixed

utter ******ity... on display, for all the world to see

My 2 cents: It's often overlooked that GGG had a significant tactical advantage over Canelo going into their first fight because Canelo had faced top fighters with different styles by that point so everyone was able to assess his strengths and weaknesses. However, with GGG there wasn't much to go on since Jacobs was the first middleweight with a wrinkle in his game that he'd faced, and much of GGG's reputation was based on HBO hyping his string of knockouts against second rate and tailor made opposition.

IMHO one of the biggest mistakes Canelo made in his career was showing GGG as much respect as he did in the middle rounds of that first fight. He started well and finished strong, but in the middle rounds I suspect he may have been conscious of his stamina issues and GGG's supposed one punch knockout power, and showed more restraint than he needed to because he could have won a UD outright by letting his hands go more. In the later rounds when he decided to stand and trade at the center of the ring, I think it clicked once and for all that GGG's power wasn't as monstrous as advertised. For the record, I found the reaction to the draw over the top, because it had indeed been a close fight and ultimately GGG still retained his titles and status as champion.

Controversy over the decision aside, It was a grueling fight in which both fighters absorbed and dished out punishment. In other words, it was unlike anything GGG had experienced. Pretty much all he'd known as a pro is that when he lands flush, guys go down and most of the time they don't get back up. Yet with Canelo he was facing a guy capable of taking his best shot then still answering back with counters and combinations. Again, GGG performed well and he has a great chin, but he did absorb more punishment in that fight than long stretches of his career combined, and I suspect it may have caused him to second guess himself for the first time. I found it telling that GGG was willing to turn down such a massive payday for the rematch and the fight was ultimately only salvaged at the last minute when GB gave into his inflated financial demands.

Nevertheless, going into the rematch team GGG continued thumping their chests about being the epitome of Mexican style while questioning Canelo's manhood and even Mexican identity, basically trying to goad him into fighting what they thought was the wrong fight for him. They didn't realize that coming out aggressive was Canelo's plan all along, so they were caught with their pants down when he came out aggressively and behind power at the center of the ring. That seed of doubt in GGG's mind seemed to take hold because he frustrated his own corner by abandoning their plan and backing up while throwing mostly jabs and once again refusing to risk throwing to the body. Simply put: GGG's decision to back up as the bigger man and harder puncher was one of the most baffling decisions in recent years especially given the circumstances including all their talk, while Canelo's decision to bring the fight to GGG was one of the ballsiest.

Some people try to claim controversy over this decision in the rematch like with every Canelo fight, but he beat GGG by the standards his own team put forth, and even his own trainer said you're a whiny hypocrite if you complain about the decision ( he seemed equally baffled by GGG and surpised by Canelo). HBO's hype of GGG was definitely over the top (even Kellerman agrees), but in no way was he simply a hype job. He was a talented and dangerous fighter, so props to Canelo for going in there and effectively taming that beast.

Good post. Zacatecas?

Canelo really should be quiet, Mr "meat is tainted even thou I live in the US and had no business eating mexican beef when my cook could have went down the street to Vons, Ralph's or Albertsons (CA people know what im talking about) to buy meat for my carne asada or burritos".
