    So can anyone honestly answer me this? Was Canelo backing up to the ropes and standing there and begging Chavez to throw punches on him ? Or was Chavez backing him up and cutting the ring off and trapping him?

    Canelo was begging him to throw. They drained the poor dolt so bad he couldn't even fight back even with his opponent giving him a free shot.

    Yeah could well be but I'm just not sure it's gonna be that kinda fight,I don't see it being technical rather it could be a real brutal thing.

    I think it's going to be a good technical battle with some infighting in between. Let's see what happens.

    No Canelo actually said something about that in how he invited Chavez to make a fight of it but Chavez had nothing and I think even the commentators were baffled as they kept expecting to do his thing like getting in close but it just never happened.

    Funny then, that you think GG deliberately allowed the Jacobs fight to be closer than he could have and left it in the hands of the judges, who can't be trusted to give him a fair shake. That's a helluva risk. Or had GG got the judges working for him in that one?

    Golovkin clearly won the fight, the judges wanted to see Golovkin/El Pollo fight, so they did not give Jacobs the decision, however, there is zero doubt that Golovkin won the fight................Jacobs got knocked down, he also got staggered, Jacobs could not hurt Golovkin at all, even thought Jacobs was a cruiserweight, broke the rules on weight, refused to take a drug test..................

    Whoever says that GGG doesn't have head movement or a defense has not watched the Jacobs fight. He was slipping, parrying and ducking punches all night long. Golovkin doesn't GAF against featherfists. If Canelo can hit hard enough to get his respect GGG will break out the skillz. But tbh, I'm not sure Canelo hits harder than Brook.

    I honestly think that Jacobs is flat-out better than anybody gives him credit for, and that he fought the fight of his life against GGG. Golovkin fought the right fight against Jacobs, using his jab to bust him up and to get close and his defence to negate the majority of Jacobs' work. Jacobs looked more impressive than he actually was effective that night. His flurries mostly bounced off Golovkin's gloves and back.

    That said, I don't see what Canelo brings to the party that is significantly better than Jacobs other than his upper body and head movement. I think Alvarez is going to be able to slip Golovkin's power punches early, but not the jab, and as the rounds pile up, he's going to slow and get caught.

    G did not fight the right fight against Jacobs. He fought a fight that had there been some less friendly judges (like say, the ones that will be judging for the Canelo fight), could have scored the fight for Jacobs and many many many fans would have agreed with them.

    For a fighter who had all the tools, and all the ability, to dominate Jacobs, having a razor close fight that could go either way, is not a sign of employing the right game plan.

    Golovkin stayed in first gear practically the whole fight, even though he had the power to drop Jacobs. He just didnt want to walk through Jacobs power to put in a sustained assault. The right gameplan would have been to enter second and third gear, and made it a war. Especially after he saw he could drop Jacobs with the right hand. Even upon entering the championship rounds in a close fight, Golovkin showed relatively no sense of urgency to take the fight away from fate.

    And Canelos body movement has potential to play a big factor in the fight. If Canelo is able to time Golovkin, his speed and defense (which is better than Jacobs), has the possibility to make Golovkin look slow in there. He also has better combination punching than Jacobs. Body movement, head movement, combination punching, and favorable judges (its Canelo), with his speed and heavy hands keeping G in first gear, and he doesnt really need to do much more than Jacobs to get the W against G.

    Canelo has shortened his punches a fair bit in the last year, with countering GG in mind I suspect. There's the fight in a nutshell, I think. Can GG deliver enough sustained pressure behind a stiff jab to win, or can Canelo time his counters to get a decision? I don't know which is more likely to me. I can't call this fight...

    Chavez was backing him up. With the size and strength advantage Chavez had Canelo would needlessly exhaust himself trying to stand his ground. However, Canelo wasn't worried about being backed up. The only way Canelo was getting Chavez out of there is if he countered Chavez coming in and he knew that and seemed to welcome the chance. Canelo could more than handle anything Chavez could throw.
