    El Pollo is "the chicken". That started after he vacated his WBC belt rather than fight GGG.

    Since he has actually taken th fight now, I have stopped calling him that.

    lol people jump on the bandwagon about that but they were being forced to agree a fight in a too short time period.

    It's El Pollo that has had diarrhea of the mouth and trash talking, not Golovkin..............Golovkin will win the fight, but he will have to put El Pollo into a hospital to get a draw! So, if they are cheated, which they will be if it goes to a decision, they should be angry. They already know Oscar owns the judges, referee, boxing commission, they know that and so does everyone else. Why can't we have neutral judges, referee and boxing commission? Yes, boxing is becoming WWE like Void/Conor..............

    It's time for a federal boxing commission and another FBI investigation into fight fixing in Vegas! Sen. McCain tried. Read the Judd letter for the facts.........................

    Well, assuming it happens I'm GGG would be, especially if it's a fair result. Sanchez I doubt though

    still picking GGG to win hes going to have to ko him though. Oscar will have the cards fixed for sure if it goes 12 rounds and looks anywhere near close lol.

    I think GGG would be graceful however I think it is totally irrelevant.

    Nelo is short for Canelo just as Chenko or Loma is short for Lomachenko.

    I tried to find the reason for them calling him Pollo but failed. However, the Spanish word "pollo", pronounced as "poyo", can mean chicken or chick.

    "Voy a comprar un pollo."

    "I am going to buy a chicken."


    It can also mean young handsome man.

    "Cuando yo era joven yo era un pollo!""

    "When I was young I was handsome"

    However, the ones using the term "pollo" are the ones who really know in what way they are employing that word. Sometimes words acquire a certain meaning in one Latin country and a different one in another. So its meaning might simply be a regional or national expression.

    An example of this phenomenon is the Spanish word "bicho" which has come to mean "'*****" in Puerto Rico but which the Spanish dictionary denotes as "insect".

    BTW
    Since when does the medical term for the male sexual organ need to be replaced with asterisks?

    Hard to say. I've seen Golovkin talk plenty of nonsense before and as for Sanchez... well I'd be surprised if he ever said something sensible TBH.

    I think any fighter has a right to be pissed and lacking in grace if they get screwed on the cards though and with Canelo being a darling of the judges in past fights that could well happen.

    Note: if GGG wins by robbery I would be a) surprised b) pissed and c) expect Canelo to be angry. I don't mind getting it wrong but I can't stand unjust decisions.

    sanchez already said its their fault if they get robbed,
    gggs jab, head movement , parrying skills, ring cutting and otherworldly power should guarantee a ko against the smaller canelo whos never fought anyone like ggg
