    Why do you think?

    He did it to create punching room of course, Golovkin is not an inside fighter. Canelo is a great inside fighter, do the math.

    Canelo has a great trainer and corner, they saw in the first bout that he was having success up close with Golovkin. They changed his gameplan 360 for the rematch which shows they know what they are doing.

    Golovkin adapted himself in the bout, Abel Sanchez didn't give him no useful advice. Telling him to brawl with Canelo in the middle rounds basically is saying i don't have a clue here.

    Please stop yourself. Why did he need punching room when he was the "bigger stronger fighter". Why wasn't he forcing Canelo to be the one looking to "create punching room" as he did in the first fight?

    Why after telling us for a year that Canelo ran too much and would stop him if he went to toe to toe with him did he suddenly have a change of heart?

    Didnt it used to be that the challenger needed to emphatically "take the belt" from the champion?

    Do you understand boxing at all?

    Why do you think he was creating space? Canelo completely changed his gameplan and Golovkin adapted.

    Don't take everything a fighter says as gospel, it's there to see with your own eyes.

    True although we can't have it both ways, if a fighter loses he loses regardless wether he was the champion or not.

    You saw what you wanted to see. He wasn't "creating space", he was forced into retreat by Canelo's constant
    aggression. Canelo turned the tables on Gennady and all GGG could do was throw constant jabs while retreating in order to minimize damage.

    But you avoided the gist of the original question altogether. Why did GGG not fulfill his promise to try and KO Canelo when he had him right in his face as he had asked for?

    Forced in to retreat? You obviously are getting carried away here, you talk as though Golovkin was doing a Ray Leonard.

    Yes i did answer you, like i said don't take what a fighter says as gospel. Golovkin found out he couldn't steamroll Canelo, it happens. When you face a gifted fighter who is much younger you face a scenario you've never faced before.

    Golovkin showed his greatness because he adapted and won the fight despite an improved and completely different Canelo.

    And what? You don't give the other guy the nod because it was a close fight.

    You're contradicting yourself. Was GGG forced by Canelo into retreat mode or did he simply choose to do it even after all the success he had in the first fight with his come forward style and all the promises he made about knocking Canelo out?
