The serious Golovkin/Canelo thread.

JacK Rauber, post: 19405412, member: 103641"]The obvious answer is he is getting old. 36 at his weight division is tough to remain on top. He won't have lost his power, though. That is last to go. But reflexes and stamina will have dropped off.

In terms of Canelo taking shots, I think it does make a difference when your body is larger. I know when I have dropped weight I feel less solid, more vulnerable. The suggestion that a body shot will take Canelo out is certainly more plausible when he is thinner in the mid-section.

But the one thing I think that will be key in this fight is if in reviewing the tapes GGG's camp honed in on the number of times he allowed Canelo to slip out to his left with GGG just missing him with big right hands could be the difference. We all saw it, over and over. Flurry on the ropes, GGG loads up with a huge right hand, but misses as Canelo slips the punch as he slides out to his left. If GGG has adjusted and steps to his right, taking into account Canelo's exit strategy coming off the ropes, that could be the difference.

I used testosterone injections to get stronger and look better. Not therapeutic use, more like 2 to 3 times that amount. (Which isn’t a lot at all by most standards)

Anyway, I was lifting and eating a lot, but I was getting a little fat to go with the added strength. So I added some cardio and clenbuterol into the mix and I cut up pretty fast.

So when I was done with that, my strength decreased more than I assumed it would because I thought I was mostly getting results of my hard work, and very little from the added testosterone. Turns out the drugs were helping a lot more than I thought. The biggest difference coming off though was the lack of muscular endurance. I’d get tired a lot sooner and not be able to lift nearly as much in the final sets as before. I’d also couldn’t work out that hard as often because I’d feel tired and over-trained, unlike when I was taking testosterone and clenbuterol.

For the record, I’m not saying Canelo cheated last time. I don’t know that. I’m just speaking about my personal experiences. I will say, though, that if he was cheating last time and now he isn’t, he is worried. As he should be.

 

I don't disagree with you. The judges could be corrupt.

 

Very interesting information. Thanks for sharing.

 

For sure he ain’t keen on taking shots to the body,seem to remember Jacobs worrying him there.

 

Different type of use but I remember my mum undergoing treatment for cancer and she said the steroids made her feel like she could of run a marathon and when not on em feeling awful so they really do work if only what they can do for one mentally.
