Abel on GGG Canelo 3 - "Like two friends sparring"

This content is protected

So I am to believe that Canelos punch at the seven second mark is completely theatrical in nature, and he either misses just perfectly (I can't tell if it lands) or, if it did land, that he simply knew deep down that it wouldn't make a dent in G?

The punches he lands in the slowmo video I posted earlier that are home run power shots... those were acceptable and he just knew he can hit Golovkin as hard as he can at 40 years old multiple times with no effect? He then pretends to look dissipated when Golovkin is still standing?

Golovkin agreed to go easy on Canelo but Canelo is allowed to knock him out?

These scenarios are really more believable than two professional fighters just... fighting each other? Or a 40 year old just choosing to be safety first?

Really?

Why not pay Golovkin to feign injury midway? Save them both the 9 10 11 and 12th rounds? That would be the most logical pursuit of less risk.

Canelo doesnt have to take the punches he takes in the championships rounds, and doesn't have to have the boxing world seeing him lose championship rounds to a 40 year old Golvokin (or did G break the bribe there and he wasnt actually supposed to win those rounds? Was he pulling all of his punches there too?

If Golovkin just 'gets injured' then Canelo doesn't lose face by borderline losing the event (not the fight) and Golovkin doesn't even have to take a loss'.

Seems more appealing for both guys than what transpired.

You guys talk about these guys not wanting to take punishment so much so they will risk their careers in criminal conspiracies, when they go through hard, damaging sparring sessions every training camp. Many times the sparring in training camp is harder than the fights... and it's not due to bribery.

It's why they spar so hard, so they are prepared in the fight. Otherwise why not coast through camps.

Sometimes I wonder how much actual boxing experience people have who claim rigged fights after every big fight.

Idk... just my .02

To each their own.. I'll exit the thread as I've said my piece.

 

There is no doubt corruption in boxing... but I think it's higher level, nuanced corruption that is harder to pin down and easier to feign innocence that happens primarily between promoters, the comission, refs n judges.

But ya I'll check out when you addressing the points... thank you.

And thanks for the apology, no worries. Cheers.

 

Would be interesting to have a group like anonymous go through and hack all these peoples (promoters, refs, commission, judges) emails, phone records n texts n expose if there is any uncovered criminal collusion happening.

Not that I'm advocating for it... just saying it would be interesting lol.
