    Robbing Ryder and KOing an already downed, shot to **** injured Groves doesn't mean much. I think Saunders would beat him at 168 and with Canelo probably inserting a rehydration clause that takes away what little makes Smith a good fighter at the weight.

    You sound like my grandma, who is a very traditional feminine woman.

    Abel Sanchez was just acknowledging that Canelo fought a great fight and made it close there for he deserved it, but he didn't think Canelo won. In other interviews he said he thought Golovkin won but he didn't want to be a sore loser and gives Canelo credit. I feel Canelo did great in both fights, but I thought that Golovkin did enough to win both, but we have been through this thousand times.

    Let's think about this a second, Who got busted using Clenbuteral and suspended and never owned up to it? Who gets decisions he don't deserve then pretends he deserves them? Who's fans behave just like their hero? LET'S ALL SAY IT TOGETHER, WAIT FOR IT, WAIT FOR IT, CANELO! CANELO!CANELO!

    What about when he whispered into GGG's ear that he was losing?

    Did he really think he was losing or was it some kind of motivation technique to lie to GGG when he really believed G was winning but wanted him to think he was losing?

    GGG kept it real close before his late rally. That was I think between 7th and 8th round when Canelo was gaining momentum. The following round Canelo was going for the kill in the first half of the round, then GGG took over the second half of the round. GGG had the momentum in the last 3rd of the fight. I feel he pulled it out. I think it was a little of both to answer your question.

    GGG won exactly 2 rounds up to that point, round 1 and round 4. In each of the other rounds Canelo was kicking his ass. GGG made his rally in the 10th round, and did well enough in rounds 11 and 12 to keep those rounds debatable. But he was losing, clearly losing when Sanchez told him he was losing.

    He got suspended yet didn’t own up to it?. :lol: He openly explained the issue and did own up to it. That didn’t stop Golovkin from continuing to beg for another payday though, did it?. You can keep crying about the decisions you don’t approve of. In the end, we have eyes and saw what happened. Alvarez stood in his face, exchanged with him and battered him. All the hype about his Titansteel X power were nowhere to be found in 24 rounds. That’s what happened when he finally didn’t fight a hopeless opponent even though his opponent was still naturally smaller.

    Why didn’t Canelo fight Smith? If he did, you can bet the LH “champ” would insist on a rehydration clause for his opponent. He chose the easier opponent, BJS. GGG is old and slow. Feeding him to a bigger younger opponent would be foolish. He’s on his retirement tour and wants the final Canelo payout. Hope it happens, it will give Canelo a chance to finally beat him. Everyone wins.
