Did your opinion of Canelo & Golovkin change last weekend?

I really expected GGG to KD or TKO Big Red but GGG was fearful of the counter game from Canelo

 

Everybody expected canelo to fold and for ggg to dominate...neither happened. Canelo stock wayyy up... golovkin not so much

 

Easy Canelo up, GGG down

I thought GGG would walk him down but Canelo intimidated him and made him scared to throw punches.

GGG reminded me of JCC Jr when he had Cnelo against the ropes, I suppose they both looked like corpses at the weigh in.

 

Called it perfect, so "same, same."

 

GGG showed that this wouldnt have been a contest prime for prime.

Canelo showed me he has a legit solid chin.

Both gave us a great fight.

 

Canelo up, GGG the same.

Didn't expect Canelo to make the distance and he showed some real toughness. His inability to fight for every second if a round is going to come back to haunt him. Well, it did in this fight for me but whatever.

GGG's jab has become a bigger weapon in his arsenal over his last few fights I think and I suspect that's him adjusting to being slightly older. He IS visibly slower but not by a great deal, so he's doing well to adapt to that. That said, his lack of body work was a concern. Unsure if that was not wanting to leave gaps when throwing (although he ate plenty of punches happily so...) or a game plan though.

 

Canelo is improving GGG is n the decline. Canelo wins the rematch, he continues to get better and will continue to physically grow in to 160. GGG has taken way too many clean punches in his last 3 fights, that chin is 1 or 2 more fights from becoming fine China. He is a shell of what he was two years ago. Two years ago he would have k canelo the f out.

 

Not much changed. I guess I put Canelo slightly better than I had earlier and GGG slightly lower,.

Canelo's chin and defense were a little better than I expected. I thought his weaknesses in stamina and foot speed and modest power was going to do him in on Saturday. I also expected GGG to finish stronger. The last 3 rounds were all close, I expected GGG to put his imprint on the fight then. Yet GGG wasn't able to have a big round against a fatigued Canelo who was on the retreat.

I won't be too critical on Golovkin, as I felt he won the fight, I just thought he would finish the fight stronger.

 

There should of been an option for Canelo up and GGG neither up or down.

Golovkin is getting a little older but he still won against a 27 year old Canelo and he did it mainly through work rate which he kept up for the full 12 rounds. Agree or not i think the level of competition has certainly stepped up in his last couple of fights. Jacobs and Canelo are a step above the likes of Lemieux, Curtis Stevens ect and its not so easy to dominate or stop these people.

Canelo impressed the hell out of me if im honest and proved me wrong on a number of things. To me his stock has shot up. His stamina at Middleweight carrying all that bulk was one of those qyestions. He was having to start to conserve his energy beyond half way through the fight but GGG works you damn hard. But he rationed his stamina really well and smartly.

 

no, my feelings are still the same. Don't like GGG and I have always thought his power was overrated. Having said that though, If GGG would fight Billy Hoe Saunders, I'd become the biggest Golovkin fan overnight because Saunders is an irritating mf and I don't know how he has 1 fan.

 

Thought Canelo would do enough to have it a 115-113 for most people (with ridiculous judge scorecard/scorecards).
Instead he did absolutely nothing for most of many rounds and thought he won 7 or 8.

 

canelo has never beat a world class guy either
