Golovkin v Canelo 2 CONFIRMED

[Alpha]

Would have liked to see GGG fight some of the other middleweights, he's been fighting to get to these types of purses, so it seemed obvious he was going to make this fight. I hope it works out for him.

I don’t fault GGG for following the money even though there were better fights for him. It is what it is. I will forgive him fully if he comes into this fight to knockout Canelo. I don’t want to see boxing. I want to see big shots thrown with the intention to put Canelo to sleep.

Not sure how they have the nerve to say this decided anything about the MW division. 2 years this division has been held up on this meaningless fight. Make that money while everyone else fights for the belts you won't defend against the superior fighters. F this, these two deserve each other. I hope after this GGG decides he finally wants to be a fighter but I expect him to retire.

Really having acid reflux just trying to worked up for anything that gives that cheating Chucky doll a decent payday. I'll believe it happens when we're closer . And the cut to fractions is ridiculous, apparently Oscar and block head also play games with numbers not only for catchweights but purse cuts too. Little odd to turn down offer one final time only to come back with Oscar not needing to add to the pot? Still would have loved to see Golovkin go fingers up (2) to Oscar and immediately turn to some other top tier challengers. Almost has the feel of Golovkin knowing he's not long for the sport.

I think maybe that is the case. GGG is really a very old fighter and he is starting to look older in and out of the ring. His hair is definitely going and he doesn't look so baby faced anymore. He is perhaps similar to where Calzaghe was at 36 with his hair thinning somewhat too and looking a bit older. Maybe GGG can shine a couple more times. Who knows. Calzaghe had the sense to get out while at the top. Most fighters are not so clever. Canelo, as much as I dislike him, is unlikely to be blasted out of there. He is cagey and fights in spurts, GGG is likely going to need to go 12 hard rounds again and he knows if he gets sloppy the judges will likely go against him. It's not going to be easy. To hell with Canelo, I hope his eyebrows fall off.

GGG has "right" on his side, Canelo is the "bad guy" in this and the fight will be good.

Excellent fight and any other fighter in GGG position would have done the same.

I wonder how Billy Joe Saunders hamstring feels now?
