Nice post man. This is what I noticed too. He definitely used tricks to sap Canelo's stamina while maintaining his own. He really beat Canelo on technical skills.
Well McGregor has never boxed before so that's a mute point but Alvarez is still young he works on conditioning for the rematch he should take it
F**** great post and what I don't understand cause I thought it was very competitive and I can at least see how a draw say could be seen though I do feel Golovkin edged it without actually mega impressing me but what I don't get is some of the Canelo fans on here not giving Gennady credit for totally stopping Alvarez scoring in the last 30 secs of each round,obviously he'd done his homework on Hagler v Leonard where Leonard would go mental in the last 30secs,why is it then we have posts like Canelo is the better more complete fighter and will school him in the rematch? Canelo well impressed me actually but my take on it is that in my eyes that was the best version of Canelo we've ever seen,he hit GGG with some mouth watering power shots,avoided GGGs right hand and was elusive so that said how on earth does he improve on that?
a 75% GGG beat a 100% 27 year old canelo it was a good fight canelo gave up size GGG gave up youth so I see that as a trade off. Canelo made it close I will give him that, but he clearly was bested. I like the draw though neither fighter deserves an L.
That and he damn sure proved what some of us suspected but many still doubted... the guy has a GRANITE chin. A juiced up Canelo couldn't faze him with his best shots thrown from the other side of the arena.
Exactly the opposite it was canelo that survived on skills alone. Canelo is too small to hurt GGG at 160. GGG had superior stamina as the older man and that is what impressed me the most.
Max Kellerman was biased for El Pollo, so was Roid Jones and Lampley, it was so obvious, yet they still had Golovkin winning the fight. Harold Lederman had it 8 rounds to 4 for Golovkin, that's what I had...................Golovkin's power and esp. his jab kept El Pollo running. Golovkin told the truth when he said he would fight Mexican style, El Pollo lied when he said he would fight Mexican style toe to toe, El Pollo lied! Golovkin could have knocked El Pollo out, but El Pollo ran, if Golovkin had used his great body punching he would have stopped El Pollo for sure. The Mexican fans cheered Golovkin, they booed El Pollo..............
