Canelo knocks out GGG in triology

Hey dumbass don't tell me what I appreciate or don't appreciate , take your straw man elsewhere.

 

I'm asking not telling : do you appreciate how Canelo fought the first fight, by using his footwork, etc? depending on who you talk to there is a not always the same credit being given to fighters who fight in an outboxing style. In the first fight Canelo was the matador of the bull. Canelo used his muleta (figuratively) by using his footwork and making GGG come to him which opened up big counter punching opportunities. He set traps made GGG miss and made GGG walk into big uppercuts.

 

How can Canelo go for TKO in the third match? He could not even knock down GGG in both matches. Both fighters have granite chins and I've never seen them going down to the floor.

 

I simply believe GGG won the fight by 3 rounds and did the better scoring work.

 

Well I'm highlighting the fact that many fans who had the first fight for GGG are not crediting Canelo for what he was able to accomplish in that fight. Canelo was very effective in that fight but only a small minority seem to really appreciate it. This is troubling as boxing is not rock em sock em robots and if you don't credit boxers when they put on boxing clinics then you are making it so that fighters can only win at the highest level by getting into toe-to-toe wars. For you to have Canelo winning the rematch I'm guessing it had a lot to do with how he fought by coming forward and staying in the pocket. My point is you shouldn't need to fight in the pocket to win a big fight.

 

Let it go dude plenty of folk who really know boxing thought GGG won the first fight , if you think you know better so be it.

 

its a degree in chocolate bars, specifically Trio bars

TRIIIO!

but I think he means trollogy if he reckons GGG gets koed.

 

Lol what makes u think that? GGG has never been hurt in his career, Canelo was hurt 3 times in their 2nd fight

 

This first part is what’s wrong with boxing. In essence you’re ok with the wrong result, because it’s to be expected, providing it’s not a shutout.

 

Canelo was not fighting in the first fight, because he just wasn't active enough. He fought for the first three rounds, then started going backwards and wasn't doing chit. He came on a little bit in the last three but even then he was fighting for about 40s and then retreated and got backed up by the jab and got outfought. I see some people think that when you go backwards you are fighting like mayweather which is complete bs. Floyd jabbed you, made you miss and look like a fool, countered you every time you made a mistake for the whole freakin 3mins of each round! Canelo did that for 30 seconds of each round, sometimes even less. On top of that he looked tired, hopeless and somewhat affraid of pressure. That's not Mayweather style of fighting and when you fight like canelo in the first fight you don't have any reasonable justification of winning rounds, not to mention a fight. You can go backwards but you have to be active and he wasn't so he got a gift draw. Pure robbery.

In the second fight he fought brave and smart at the same time, that I agree with you, even though I think GGG won the second close or at least drew. I'm ok with the decision, no robbery.

In the second fight GGG was the matador of the bull. GGG used his muleta (figuratively) by using his footwork and making Clenelo come to him which opened up big counter punching opportunities. He set traps made Pedvarez miss and made Canelo walk into big uppercuts.

 

never agreed with anyone more than this

 

Thank you! What GGG did the 2nd half of the fight was brilliant. Canelo was swinging and a missing. The whole time Kellerman and Jones Jr gave him no credit.
