Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin III 17/9/22
Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin III officially CONFIRMED with super-middleweight showdown set for September 17
CANELO ALVAREZ will finally fight Gennady Golovkin in a mouthwatering trilogy.
The boxing legends will meet in the ring on September 17.
Canelo and Golovkin have shared 24 thrilling rounds already in this hottest of rivalries.
And the pair will meet for a third time, five years after their first battle ended in a controversial draw and then the Mexican star edging out Golovkin via majority decision.
Both fights took place in the T-Mobile Arena, with a venue for the trilogy bout will be revealed soon.
Last time out Canelo dared to be great once again but was edged out by WBA world light-heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol.
Now the focus switched back to super-middleweight where he will defend his undisputed title against the Kazakh king, who campaigns at the weight for the first time in his storied career.
The WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO straps will all be on the line.
Speaking to Matchroom, who will promote the event to be shown on Dazn, Canelo said: "I feel very happy and proud to be able to give the best fights and this fight won’t be an exception.
The Mexican's coach Eddy Reynoso added: “Let’s push ahead without going backwards.
“A Mexican never surrenders, let’s push forward."
Golovkin responded: “I hope to see you on September 17."
Canelo and Golovkin, 31 and 40 respectively, took part in two of the most entertaining fights in recent history in September 2017 and 2018.
The pair's first meeting ended in a controversial draw, with many in the boxing world believing the judges robbed Golovkin.
Canelo edged their rematch 12 months later via majority decision - although many thought the epic rematch should've been scored a draw.

Re: Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin III 17/9/22
Twitter has whipped up into a frenzy of this news. I'm happy for GGG to get himself a final pay day but I don't think it'll be as competitive this time around. I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't see it.

Re: Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin III 17/9/22
What is the fucking point! GGG spent his whole career being a smallish MW, now he’s a SMW? I will not spend one penny on this.

Eddie Hearn over the last couple of years has turned into a complete cock since he thought he had a chance of global domination.
He thinks he gets a pass because he’s a promoter “and that’s what they do.”, but I’ve seen interviews of him talking about Canelo v GGG when Canelo was with Golden Boy and him blatantly calling Canelo a drugs cheat. Now he just wants to lick his ass all night.
He’s getting low as well, trying to goad Brook into a fight with “no mark” Benn after Brook announced his retirement.
What he don’t realise is that Canelo will drop him like a bad habit, and then he won’t be his “personal friend.”

Canelo started at Junior WW, 4 divisions south. GGG can move up for once. The question what is the point, only for money. Canelo ruined GGGs career before he even got to 160 because GGG followed him like a puppy. Rather than chasing his own greatness

Re: Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin III 17/9/22
if jermall, caleb, davib b, or demetrius were fighting ggg it would be considered a good fight but for canelo it's considered easy. i still think ggg is tough but canelo will pull away towards the end

Re: Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin III 17/9/22
I've always been a big admirer of Golovkin, but I suspect that this is his final swansong bout.
He was always a small middleweight, and he has looks pretty old in there at times recently. He was never the quickest fighter in the world but he does look like he has slowed down and is now much more vulnerable to the body.
Stepping up a weight to fight a PED user, with a great chin and a good body attack, who is essentially coming down a weight is a herculanean task.... especially at 40 years old.
Looking at it dispassionately, this should not be a competitive fight at all ...........
-
Re: Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin III 17/9/22
It's not a good idea for Gennady Glovkin. He is a little step too slow now and getting hit a little too much. He is a little past his prime. On the other hand Canelo ALvares is kind of in his prime. So if the first 2 fights were close, then this fight will not be close. It could result in a stoppage like with Kovalev. He had a great career and doesn't need this fight. But I would love to see him beat the favorite boy of the judges (LOL). 115-113 was more than a joke for Bivol. I scored it 117-112 Bivol.

Exactly. And now GGG is just whoring himself out for one last pay day for a fight he knows he can’t/ won’t win. But in the lead up to the fight the hype will go into overdrive, probably a lot of highlight reels of GGG bowling guys over from 8 years ago, to make it look like a meaningful fight and all the casuals will eat it up and think Canelo is the GOAT, completely airbrushing Bivol from the history books now instead of Floyd.

It’s not about whether it’s a good fight. These are 2 good fighters, for the fucking dough they’re earning, being a “good fight” is the absolute bare minimum it needs to be.
And as for “Jermall, Caleb, David B & Demetrius”, yeah it’s not considered easy. That’s why they earn 10% of what Canelo earns.
The problem with the fight is that is is meaningless.
We already know Canelo is better than GGG.
We already know GGG is 40.
We already know if by some miracle GGG wins he’s not staying there.
It proves nothing new.

ggg is getting paid well for what he does for a career. that is hardly whoring himself out. would you prefer ggg to just retire or fight someone else? canelo just fought one of the best current light heavyweights & lost, he is not taking a leave of absence or taking a tune up. canelo is right back in there with a unified belt holder. is it the toughest challenge out there? no. but not every fight is against the best

Re: Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin III 17/9/22
Lets hope Bivol does not follow Canelo like a lost puppy and chase greatness himself by taking on Beterbiev/Smith winner rather than waiting around for the rematch.
-
Re: Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin III 17/9/22
Bivol offered to do the rematch at 168 and Canelo’s team chose GGG. Tells you everything you need to know.
Now recently I have given Canelo a lot of praise and respect.
But if that was any other fighter that did that they would be called Duck, Chicken and just about every other farmyard animal you can think of.

I can not see Bivol beat Canelo at super middleweight. He would be too weak at the weight. Canelo should take the offer after Triple G.
-
Re: Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin III 17/9/22
I hope Golovkin can go out with his head held high.
Golovkin's chin is still made out of granite, but he looks very susceptible to body punches & I can envisage Alvarez folding him in half with body punches & stopping him late.

Yep, but he got beat. That should change EVERYTHING! so what, just airbrush the Bivol defeat from his record like some people try to airbrush the Floyd defeat out.
I heard on more than one occasion in the build up to the Bivol fight from Media that don’t normally involve themselves in Boxing Canelo being called “The undefeated……..” it’s pathetic.

canelo did lose but the plan announced before the fight was dmitry & then ggg. if canelo had won there would be those complaining canelo was avoiding artur by fighting ggg next. canelo can't win. it's not like canelo has kept the ggg fight secret & then snuck it in there. i am not airbrushing the defeat from canelo's record. canelo took on a massive challenge & came up short. no shame in that. let's see where things go from here. i'd prefer dmitry against the artur v joe winner than an immediate rematch with canelo

Golovkin can't wait around forever and if the plan was for Canelo to fight him next... so be it. I think GGG will get starched, but c'est la vie. He fought Canelo stupidly when he had his chance... and now he's older and more shop-worn. He just wants to cash out and I guess can't blame him for that. I never wanted a 3rd Canelo-GGG fight, but it is what it is.
I also don't think much of Bivol going down in weight to challenge Canelo. He's going to be a weaker version of himself, and give up the main advantage he had over Canelo.
Besides... after seeing the judges scores after the Bivol fight.... who in their right minds thinks they can win a decision over Canelo??!??
Those f*cking judges must've been crying as they turned in their scorecards, knowing they had blown their assignment.

Re: Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin III 17/9/22
Gennadiy Golovkin says he was surprised at the aggressive behavior from Canelo Alvarez during Friday’s kick-off press conference in Los Angeles to begin the promotion for their September 17th fight on DAZN pay-per-view.
Canelo (57-2-2, 39 KOs) said Golovkin was an “a**hole” and got in his face aggressively during their face-off. Golovkin’s takeaway from the experience is that Canelo showed that he’s “not confident” going into their third meeting.
It’s unclear what happened to Canelo’s self-confidence, but it could be his recent one-sided loss to WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol on May 7th.
Bivol completely outclassed Canelo from A to B, making him and his trainer Eddy Reynoso look inept. Losing in that manner might have knocked a chip off Canelo’s once-proud self-belief.
Of course, with what Golovkin’s impressive performances against Canelo in their two fights, might have something to do with the Mexican star appearing insecure during Friday’s press conference, and trying to intimidate him to gain an edge.
“He’s two different people. He pretends to be a nice guy, but he’s not, he’s an a**hole,” said Canelo about Golovkin.
“It was curious for me to observe his behavior and his reactions and to me, he looked a bit different,” said Golovkin to Fight Hub TV when asked about his thoughts on seeing Canelo on Friday at the Los Angeles kickoff press conference.
“About the things that he’s saying about the words that he’s choosing and his behavior,” said Golovkin when asked what was different about Canelo.
“I didn’t react immediately to this because it was probably the interpreter’s fault. He smoothed it down a little bit, but what can I say now? He’s just a red mouse? I don’t know.
“I’m not focused with him. I don’t know what he’s trying to do and what game he’s trying to play. I looked at him and he was kind of like agitated too much,” said Golovkin in commentating on Canelo’s behavior during the press conference.
“His behavior shows that he’s not confident. He would have behaved differently if he thought he won that second fight, but I don’t think about it. He’s not on my mind.
“It’s hard for me to compete this fight to any other fight, but I know it’s going to be a tough fight. We’ll see. I’m 40-years-old, and you can take that away from me. I’m not trying to use that as an excuse.
“I’m going to get ready, and we’ll see how it’s going to play out,” said Golovkin.

Re: Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin III 17/9/22

Re: Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin III 17/9/22
Likely to have a 20+ pound advantage by fight night... Canelo and his chin can wade right in against Golovkin.
Golovkin will be there to be hit, because GGG knows he'll never get a decision win.
Easy pickings for the embarrassed (by Bivol) Canelo.

Re: Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin III 17/9/22
CANELO ALVAREZ and Gennady Golovkin took a break from throwing punches to toss the ceremonial first pitch at Yankee Stadium.
The boxing duo shared the honor of getting the ball game started as the New York Yankees took on Oakland Athletics in MLB.
Canelo, 31, is still reeling from a shock defeat to Dmitry Bivol last month in Las Vegas.
But fans were delighted to see the Mexican sensation strut his stuff on the mound alongside rival GGG.
In a small break from tradition, both boxers took part in the ceremonial first pitch ahead of the MLB showdown.
Alvarez was the first to release his throw, showing good technique as he unleashed a decent fast ball.
Golovkin meanwhile looked like a natural in the ballpark, his smooth action seeing his pitch land right on point.
Boxing fans were in raptures to see their heroes ahead of the crucial match with the Yankees eventually running out 9-5 winners.
And many were impressed by the boxers' throwing arm, taking to social media to praise their efforts.
One wrote: "Haha canelo could just pitch the rest of the game."
While another added: "Canelo’s actually got a pretty good arm!"
While one said: "This rivalry is just legendary".
But some were hoping for more fireworks before the pair went nose-to-nose in a face-off on the mound.
A fight-starved fan wrote: "Canelo should've gone full heel and chucked [the ball] at GGG. Miss opportunity!"
Canelo and Golovkin last fought in September 2018, when the Mexican won a controversial rematch on points.
After four long years, their trilogy is finally back on - and Golovkin, 40, fired shots at the Mexican saying that he had been avoiding getting in the ring with him again.
But Alvarez is confident that his nine-year age advantage can see him notch another win on September 17.
He said: "He's talking a lot of things about me. That's why it's personal.
"He always talks about how I'm scared, I'm running away when I'm fighting the best guys out there and he's fighting with Class D fighters.
"He always pretends to be a nice guy, like in front of people.
"It is what it is. I don't pretend to be nice, this is the way I am. I don't pretend to be another person.
"He's two different people, he pretends to be a nice guy. He's not he's an a**hole."

Re: Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin III 17/9/22
Cakewalk for Cinnamon.
I've posted in every related FB post that appears on my feed and said basically the same thing.
Let's look at the facts.
1. GGG was robbed almost 5 years ago, when yet another female judge inexplicably gave it to Canelo (probably in more ways than one ;) ) 118-110. In Vegas.
2. In a second fight GGG stupidly let's it go to the judges, when he HAD to know he'd get shafted again. This time he loses the fight. In Vegas.
3. Here we are in 2022. GGG is 40 f*cking years old... and Canelo is in his prime at 31. Canelo is bigger and stronger and has fought as high as 175.
4. 40-year old GGG is facing Canelo at 168, the first time he ventures to that weight in his ENTIRE CAREER. In Vegas.
But somehow some people see a possibility of a GGG win?? :rolleyes:
If Canelo doesn't knock him out, he has underperformed.
As it is... he gets zero credit from me for beating old man Golovkin.
By the way, I voted Ginger by knockout.

ggg was robbed in your opinion. i have it one for ne. i think primo carnera had it a draw & win for canelo. ggg didn't let the second fight go to the judges. he was unable to knockout canelo. it is twenty twenty two. ggg is forty. canelo is thirty one. i'd agree that canelo is bigger & stronger & has fought as high as one seventy five but if they both make the weight then i have no issues. ggg is forty & is facing canelo at one sixty eight for the undisputed championship but he has fought over one sixty before & canelo is moving back down a weight

Re: Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin III 17/9/22
I voted GGG by decision but mustve hit the wrong button because its registered as GGG by KO. Could a Mod plz change my vote to GGG by decision? No way he knocks out Cinnamon. Cinnamon does indeed have a good Clen, I mean Chin. I thinks Clen-bute underestimates GGG (age, etc.) (isnt he 37? I read 37 but also read 40?) and Clenny goes wild trying to finish GGG in the 6th round, gets careless and has a lot of pent up rage from getting totally schooled by Biv, and gets careless and may get caught by the wily "old" GGG with an uppercut. Its the ones you dont see.......
But I'll still go with the decision for GGG. (more hoping, really)

I acknowledge my vote for Triple G knockout is more sentimental and wishful thinking.

OK so it must be your vote there for GGG by KO. I guess I did not vote yet. Let me see.

Canelo Alvarez says he will end his trilogy fight against Gennady Golovkin in a “sweet way” by knocking him out when they meet on September 17th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
“I think now is not a Mexican style, now is different,” said Canelo Alvarez to SecondsOut, talking about how Gennadiy Golovkin used to call his fighting style ‘The Mexican style.’
“I think the Mexican style that he says is just to bring the Mexican fans for him. Everybody does it. They go in there with Mexican colors and hats and everything and sombreros, and I understand that. Mexican style is just different.
“In a close fight, you can see he wins, and other people can say I win. It’s a close fight, so it’s fine,” said Canelo about the difference in opinion about his first fight with Golovkin in 2017. “It’s good for boxing being in close fights. It’s perfect.
“That kind of people don’t give me credit,” Canelo said about some boxing fans believing he lost the second fight with GGG as well as the first. “I don’t care about those people. I just see my accomplishments really good.
“This fight is going to be different. I’m going to end this fight in a sweet way. I just want to win and beat him and be very satisfied. I don’t care what the people say. He’s one of the worst,” said Canelo about Golovkin.

GGG only has to use the blueprint that Bivol used to win an easy decision. Fuck all those power punches....... you see Bivol used LOW POWER VARIATIONS OF THE JAB to measure the range and distance between him and Canelo. THis provoked defensive behaviors from Canelo, and hesitations. Bivol did not over-commit to his punches, so GGG should avoid that too. GGG needs to use those touch-jabs and low power jabs at a distance, varying the power, and this will force Canelo to catch/deflect WITH HIS REAR HAND, keeping him off balance and dogging him good, stopping forward momentum. GGG needs to confuse Canelo with the range and timing and varfiations of power, like Bivol did. GGG has to be the better boxer and he will win an easy decision. DO NOT trade and get into a donnybrook with Canelo. You have to manipulate the guard of Canelo, keep him catching and wondering if GGG is going to throw a hard shot, medium shot or light shot. GGG can do this if he follows this blue print.

Ginger should wash his mouth out with soap after talking about "Mexican style."
He does a huge disservice to the Mexican champions before him, who fought all comers at any time, anywhere.... win, lose, or draw.
Past Mexican greats never had their careers methodically manufactured.
Cinnamon will knock out old man Golovkin. Of that I am 99% sure.
But who's to say lighting can't strike and GGG knocks out Ginger.
GGG by points is a complete fallacy.
Nobody beats Ginger by points in Vegas. That Bivol did it is a testament to how absolute the dominance was. The judges must've cried when they handed in their scorecards.
