    Exactly. Why wouldn't he be worried, canelo punches hard.

    However GGG fans want you to believe this guy doesn't feel punches and it had nothing to do with canelo's counters.

    The vast majority of us ggg fans know why he didn't go to the body. The few deranged ones shouldn't represent the vast majority.

    Even his corner was asking him to go downstairs but he refused. GGG knew Canelo was throwing everything with bad intentions and if he went downstairs Canelo would have the perfect opening to land a monster shot upstairs
    That is my view and I'm sticking to it bro

    I feel that everyone except GGG and his team were party to the protective measures in place that ensured Canelo favouritism.

    No no no no no. There is no way in the world i would believe that Golovkin carried Canelo for any purpose. The body shots at this moment remain a mystery that i would love to know the answer to but the answer definatly is not that he didnt do them cuz he got paid not to. Golovkin wanted very much to stop and beat Canelo.

    Boxing thriving?go back that 50yrs and look how was boxing viewed then. I bet you will be amazed how much boxing has declined as major sport.

    go just look the numbers of boxing gyms around the globe. Boxing is major sport only in east nowadays.

    in tennis you win one tournament and you make about 3-4mil..the list is endless.

    boxing is indeed dying,slowly but surely..


    go back 100yrs and boxing was biggest thing ever..

    yup,boxing is not dying and everything is okay..

    No give your facts about boxing thriving..

    in boxing you have couple of big events in year..that's it.

    i think word thriving would be more suited to sports,what have +20000 people attendance almost daily basis..

    but yes boxing is thriving,never has been better.

    you live in quite denial.but no worries.so does 99% of humans. You are not alone.

    keep believing the lies and new written history by you..


    Now give me the facts about boxing thriving??boxing is big only in your own matrix reality

    Yeah, he put on a thrilling breathtaking immensely enjoyable fight of the year candidate against an elite P4P opponent most casuals know fairly well, and in their eyes he won convincingly, nothing could be worst for the sport.:lol:

    Sure but when Canelo was dead tired and looked like he was just trying to survive in the 7th, 8th & 9th going to the body would have brought his hands down and slowed him up much more. This was one of the first high profile fights in I don't know how long, where I thought and vocalized numerous times that a stoppage was right there for the taking, if the fighter (GGG) would just go for the damn body.

    I agree, it was bad strategy on Golovkin's part. But I don't think the fight was fixed, that's all.

    ggg is already vulnerable to uppercuts, going to the body would have opened him up to one and canelo has a good one.

    If boxing is so dead, why are you wasting your time on a boxing forum?

    You can't compare now to 100 or even 50 years ago. Times have changed. People have more options now to get there entertainment fix.
