Well, there you go. Feel out first, body shots and breakdown 2 and 3 and then 4th stoppage. All well and good, but GGG needs to step it up and get active. That's your warm up, now a big fight please.

You have a mean streak to train to punch dudes on top of the head.
I think so too, far too easy to hit. It is the same GGG, just a little older. Needs to fight a name now. Does not matter if it is Canelo to me as he has done it twice and we know GGG wins most of the rounds.Quote:

Good stuff.
Literally caved him in an aluminum can. Brutal shot.Quote:

Kinda compact-choping shots. Very effective.Quote:

Jacobs & Alvarez I think will be his career defining fights, 2 top tier guys.
That's exactly how you systematically break an opponent down.
Pound the body then go upstairs coming forward non stop.
GGG is a Fucking terminator.
He clearly enjoys taking shots to land his own and has admitted it loads of times.
Love the way he turns his knuckles inwards for maximum power.
Would love to see him and Calum Smith go at it soon.
GGG did what he was supposed to do but didn’t look great. Maybe it’s age or maybe he just didn’t care as much about a fight like this. I think he legit loses if he fights Canelo again.
Finally watched the fight, and of course my feeling is f GGG. That mismatch was offensive and dangerous. I hope Rolls is okay going forward. F GGG and his handlers, they’re all disgusting
Like dog fighters training their dogs by taping other dogs mouths shut and sicking their dogs on them. Rolls is so clearly not that level. And now I listen to pro MMA guys “that right there is why boxing sucks”
Well, GGG came out more patiently than usual, but what struck me was how much more head movement ha had. Clearly partially due to his new trainer.
Once he had finished having a long look at Rolls, he just started to beat him up. Some of the body shots were tremendous, and he really does like that unusual twisting left hook to the top of his opponents head. I did notice he reverted back to having little head movement by the third.
I like watching GGG fight. Clearly, he is in the twilight of his career and is not going to get significantly better. I'm going to enjoy him while I can
Golovkin 'ready' for Canelo rematch after fourth-round KO
Former unified middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin insisted he is "ready" for a rematch with Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez after making a devastating return to the ring in New York.
Fighting for the first time since losing his belts to Canelo in September last year, Golovkin knocked out the previously undefeated Steve Rolls in the fourth round on Saturday.
Golovkin showcased his devastating power at Madison Square Garden, where the Kazakh star floored Rolls (19-1, 10 KOs) in brutal fashion.
"I feel great," Golovkin told DAZN after kicking off his six-fight, three-year deal with the streaming service. "I feel like a new baby.
"Right now I feel completely different because I came back to my knockout. I love knockouts and I love New York. It was a great night all around."
Saturday ended a nine-month layoff for Golovkin (39-1-1, 35 KOs), who lost to Canelo in a gripping majority decision – his only professional defeat.
Golovkin lost his WBA and WBC titles after the pair's initial bout in September 2017 ended in a hotly disputed draw.
Asked who he wants next, Golovkin was emphatic in his response ahead of a potential GGG-Canelo trilogy.
"Everybody knows. The fans know who they want me to fight next," Golovkin said. "I'm ready for September. I'm ready for Canelo. Just bring him, just ask him. I'm ready. If you want big drama show, please tell him. I'm ready to bring back the big drama show."

"I believe, because this is boxing. This is boxing business. Why not? The next fight will be amazing for us," Golovkin added.
"I feel right now like the people's champ. It doesn't matter for me. I want to beat him but [the belts don't] matter. I'm the people's champion."

GGG fighting also age
Very true Baal. Think that was a key factor and Canelo and Oscar wanting to keep him close and busy with non entities. I'll eat my shoe if they make #3 within a years time.Quote:

Even if you gave the rematch to GGG semi comfortably, the war of attrition was basically flipped on its head when you compare the first two fights, and in reality they have probably been going opposite directions for years. No reason to think that wont be continued from the younger man who has also been active by comparison. Not to mention if it happens it seems likely it will be at some silly weight like 164, which is another big advantage.
Just a bit of current GGG BS that matches years of GGG BS but fans will say he’s take all comers....
He could have fought Andrade instead of Rolls, he said no even though DAZN really wanted it. After he said he isn’t interested in the guys that have been around, only new guys. No Charlo, no Jacobs, no Andrade, he wants Canelo. Because Canelo/GGG is such a new fight according to this BSer.
Dare one of the hood wearers to deny this. Naw, I expect I’ll just be personally insulted because that’s what happens when you present the truth. Defenders activate!!
I like to watch GGG fight, but I'm not going to defend his (by now) senseless laser focus on Canelo. All he's doing is playing directly into Canelo's hands, giving him an excuse to claim some sort of exaggerated grandeur in the middleweight division. First Golovkin gets robbed by having the fight called a (cough) draw. Then the robbery is consummated when they just out and give Canelo the "W". Golovkin STILL doesn't get it...... and wants to pursue a 3rd fight. One that Father Time will ensure ends in the only way this GGG-Canelo circus would EVER end....... in a KO victory for Canelo, and Fishnets declaring Ginger the GOAT (after himself, of course ;) ). Boxing's such a ridiculous, predictable charade that it's amazing us fans aren't in the crystal ball business. GGG has lost tons of fans by his sick fixation on getting robbed by Team Canelo and their cohorts.
Dumbass.
I'm sorry but if there's ANYONE in boxing who deserves a KTFO retirement party it's that cheating bastard Clenbelo I'm sorry, Canelo.
I don't care who knocks him out, but I want to see it and I want it to be Canelo's last fight
