Golovkin-Canelo OFFICIAL!!!- Sept 16th

[Alpha]

Oscar fucking around with the weigh in time. I see Canelo missing the IBF 2nd weigh in for extra advantage.

Not sure but did the IBF remove the 2nd weigh in for championship fights?

Or was that just unifications?

Did this count as a unification? Multiple titles are on the line but Canelo doesn't have one.

Golovkin is the naturally bigger man so it only helps him but I see you're getting the excuses in early

Just trying to get clarification son.

I'd watch Canelo like a hawk. He's not used to fighting guys on a fair and level weight playing field. This is unknown territory for him. Watch for diuretics (tips from JCC Jr.), and other weight-related shenanigans. Everyone knows that Canelo could rightfully fight at 168 or even 175 if he wanted to.

That's what I can't stand about Canelo and couldn't stand about Junior. As soon as Junior fought someone his own size (Fonfara), he got the snot beat out of him. To the point he quit on his stool. Everybody celebrated how he almost had Martinez out in the last round. Shit... he outweighed him by at least 30 pounds. Before that Martinez had pitched a perfect game.

I see GGG-Canelo going pretty much like Fonfara-Chavez Jr.

I'm a little peeved how Canelo is clearly being treated like the A side in this fight.

Golovkin is undefeated, he is pretty much the undisputed middleweight champion of the world, he has made 18 title defences. Canelo doesn't have a title and is moving up in weight (ha ha)

But Canelo's name is on the right hand side, his name is at the top of the posters, he is getting a bigger payday and - unbelievably - Golovkin will enter the ring first and be announced first, as if he is the challenger!

I dearly hope that there is not a 'funny' result to this fight, with the powers that be protecting their cash cow!!!

I will repeat myself, I am floored why so many people seem to think this is such a big fight. It's a decent fight. I mean GGG is a great fighter and Canelo is solid. So I'm not acting as if it isn't a good fight to be made, but there are a few fights in boxing right now that I would be more interested in.

Some talk as if this is a fight of the decade or something.

It's the biggest fight in the division, not necessarily the best.

Getting seriously pissed this weekend as it looks like I'll spend it moving. Already got the keys and furniture etc already sorted last night and today. The shit is looks like no cable connect until Sunday and at&t is a damn joke with new accounts and "the system is making the reconnect date available, might be next week". FFS I swear. Has to be the worst company I've ever dealt with, incompetent wiffle dicks and do not prioritize customer service and cannot get their story straight. Worst case I can possibly watch on my phone or some in overly bright sports bar with a bunch of yelling fook faces who are still rooting for Mcgregor . At least post here and get the play by play. Off on a rant. Still liking Golovkin but closer than I initially thought. The diva treatment of Canelo is borderline boy band and deep down hope Golovkin doesn't let it muck up his head.

This is easily the most significant boxing history fight in recent times.

Canelo, for all that hardcore/nerds think of him, is the biggest star in America (ignoring Floyd's sparring sessions), his TV numbers/PPV and gates (50,000 with no-names like Liam Smith) currently destroy everyone else (he's the only guy in town doing a million PPV buys and filling up Vegas casinos).

Golovkin will cement his place amongst the greats by having a "star" on his ledger. Hagler, Hopkins and to a lesser extent, being a Brit, Calzaghe, spent years as great dominant champions without a "star" name to make them crossover (they were all b-side too in their breakout fight). Golovkin wins he becomes a bonafide HOF all-time great, loses he is forever known as an overrated Euro hype job.

I agree with almost everything Fenster said. I'm pretty sure he is stating what the trolls will say with "overrated Euro hype job" but my question to them is what does that make Canelo if GGG wins?

Maybe it's a question for Gamo. He is so sure Canelo wins and that it will be easy. Does GGG become his new hero or do we have to put him on suicide watch?

If Canelo wins easy I'm getting the lottery numbers for next week from Gamo.

I think that results tend to make fights more significant. For example, if Canelo won, it could become a very significant fight. If GGG wins and Canelo never really makes it in the MW division then this fight turns into not much.

IMO ward vs Kovalev fight was much more significant. Both fighters were better than GGG and Canelo and IMO was for best fighter in the world.
