GGG vs Vanes

**powerpuncher** · 04-19-2018 09:02 AM

Looks like the fight is a done deal. Vanes hasn’t fought for two years and has never fought at middleweight. Has he been training? I can’t imagine anything but a total destruction

if this goes ahead on the May date , then Golovkin and his team are a complete joke! none of this "it's not his fault" bollocks! Once Canelo pulled out, then either the date gets cancelled or they find a viable opponent if they can. If they can't , the date gets cancelled.
He had fucking time when this all kicked off to take a short break and then go back into a shorter camp and fight BJS, Charlo or Jacobs. none of the fights they have lined up would be a problem to cancel for this.
And if none of them wanted it, then at least we would've known who is full of shit and who isn't.
Fucking wankers.

Yeah but they instead decided to take an easy fight and sit back for a few months to get the money fight (which will be even bigger now than before) with Canelo

Fucks me off it does, I don't necessarily blame GGG he probably knew this was going to be the outcome from the very start and just can't turn down the money at this point in his career, it ain't what we wanted.

It’s extremely obvious that GGG is just waiting for the money. No way is he risking anything to make huge money against Canelo again. He is taking a fight just to take a fight and stay busy. There were plenty of better fighters who were willing to fight him.

Is he contractually obligated somehow to fill that date? When it started to look like a Vanes..who was already rejected unanimously by the sanctioning bodies..or the other fella from Mexico they should have just scrapped the date all together. This is just Golovkin being a company man and saving some face for them. They really put him in a shit situation.

On the other hand I can't knock him for not bending over backwards trying to fix a fiasco that Canelo 100 percent created. He's the one who did his job, carried himself as a professional and more importantly didn't shovel garbage into his body looking for illegal advantages. Ideally we want the very best vs the very best but on 30 days notice and all the politics that already go into making mega fights normally it's not likely for most. Canelos cheating self is laughing his ass off as Golovkin gets slapped around for this mess.

I'm disappointed they couldn't force the IBF mando against Derevyanchenko, but can understand both deserving a full camp to prepare for each other. Vanes is pretty tough and a better opponent than O'Sullivan in my opinion, I think his inactivity hurts him tho. GGG deserves to get in the ring and fight, he held up to his side of the deal, he should get a payday of some sort.
