Why the **** did Golovkin not go to war?

Because "Mexican Style" doesn't work when the guy in front of you ain't a stublebum. He reverted back to the old soviet system of jab, jab, jab, straight right.

I thought he boxed beautifully at times behind the jab, stepping in with combos and the pivoting round the corner to avoid counters.
Whereas in the build up they goaded Canelo continously, Golovkin and Sanchez literally said if he comes to fight he'll get knocked out. That is arrogance if not backed up. Everyone is trolling about Mexican style, but it's true! The guy gave you what you want, you are supposedly the biggest, baddest guy in world boxing, SO WHY do you decide to box and move? Surely the winning strategy was meeting him in the middle of the ring and blast him out like he did so many times before. Surely that gives him a conclusive W and puts this whole thing to bed.
I am not shaming the dude, but it makes no sense!!
Instead of getting defensive answer the question

At the end of the day, all this stuff is just show. What happened in the ring is what counts. I though Golovkin won, I’m ok with Canelo getting the nod in a close one. This other stuff you guys go over all day just brings the sport down.

Originally posted by sunny31 View PostNo, it's not about bringing the sport down, it's a legit question. And don't try and make this into some kind of master plan from Team GGG. Abel has come out and said they knew he'd fight that way, they goaded him into it, and GGG didn't follow the game plan.
Why does he have to fight a certain way? He was landing punches wasn’t he? Consistently snapping Canelos head back with jabs, uppercuts, landing his share of hooks, hurting Canelo as the fight went into the later rounds?
Isn’t that what’s important?
Seems like GG is being overly penalised because he didn’t fight the way you guys expected him to, but it really shouldn’t come into it at all. Round by round scoring is all that matters. No problem if you had Canelo winning, I had Golovkin, it was a seriously close fight with loads of swing rounds. But I’m not gonna sit here and take credit away because he boxed when I thought he would brawl.

What do you think happens if he goes toe to toe?
