Does hype have a due date? Golovkin hype started when he made his big HBO debut in 2012...that was half a decade ago. Hes now 35 years old and talking retirement after 5 successful years at the top, and a peak p4p #1 rating on ESPN. Hype talk at this point is 4 years too late.
Yeah, I think both are very decent fella's. GGG is just a blatant gent and Canelo behind the image is the same imo. How could they not like each other
The Post you started this thread with is incoherent. Just my opinion: starting a Thread with just a naked assertion completely lacking any factual support whatever and for good measure throwing in a false claim with no other discernible purpose than to troll--ought to justify a length ban
I don't see how those two concepts are in any way comparable. One is what one specific referee decided in a fight where there were multiple borderline punches and one below-the-border punch right at the end while the fighter was hunched over and not defending himself and the other is whether or not judges will score rounds to Triple G. You're saying that Tony Weeks not seeing that last low blow and deciding to step in and stop Ward Kovalev 2 somehow means that Triple G can't win a decision on Canelo? Besides the obvious reality that the two things have nothing to do with each other, even if you think that Triple G can't win a decision vs Canelo for some reason, I don't know how you can argue that one would happen as a result of the other. And FYI plenty of Triple G fans were crying about how Triple G can't win a decision on Canelo before Ward Kovalev 2 happened.
My response was to the hypothetical claim that Triple G cannot be cheated in any way as long as he outpoints Canelo. I am not claiming that this will happen or that Triple G cant win by knockout. ' I am merely saying that if a low blow is landed and Triple G hunches over like Kov did, then there is now a precedence set for a stoppage. There is also as well a legal precedence established to turn down a post-fight appeal. Also, whether or not Triple G fans were or were not claiming that he couldn't win a decision against Canelo prior to the Kov/Ward debacle is really irrelevant the situation as it now stands. After the Kov/Ward incident there is now more leeway for other refs to pull the same stunt and feel they can easily get away with it than before. Example? Horn vs Pacman.
