Golovkin v Canelo 2 CONFIRMED

[Alpha]

I don't think Lemieux/ O'Sullivan will go long. Lemieux easy KO. There is genuine bad blood between the 2 tho:

Is that Geraldo Rivera there at the microphone @TitoFan

Spittin' image. If it's Geraldo though, I hope he keeps his guard up better than Geraldo did.

Most fans seem to think it's an "easy" KO for Lemieux yet the bookies have it quite tight. I was expecting to back Spike thinking he would be a big price but the odds have brought me back to Lemieux.

Normally i'd strongly favour Lemmy in any shootout, however, I can't help seeing Spike's granite chin passing the test, even if he loses.

(waffling because i've spent two days going to bet one way (early rounds) then changing to the other (late rounds) )

I thought Lemiueux looked awful against Saunders and unable to pull the trigger. It was a bit like Mattysse against Pac but with a bit more resistance. He struggles stepping up, but granted Spikey Tache has a very different style and is rung below, but I think this could go either way. Could be the best fight on the card as we know Canelo will be on his bicycle early potshotting while winking at the judges.

Saunders MADE Lemiueux look awful though. I don't think O'Sullivan even with the camp bear/strongman moustache is going to stand up to repeated smacks in the mouth. He is pretty easy to hit, and for a puncher like Lemiueux, that is manna.
Golovkin hit Cownelo all night long last time, but could not really wobble him repeatedly in the way he has consistently made other fighters fold. It is not going to be a walk in the park for either fighter but GGG may well find Alvarez offering his jaw on a plate if he really is as pissed, as is being suggested, at being called out for what he is. Neither is an unknown quantity to the other and it can't help but be a bit more personal this time. I think Golovkin can channel and handle that a bit better, while Canelo is more likely to let it sabotage his own ability to concentrate. GGG is remarkably cold and calculated even when hit hard, and that should be enough for him to put something together to stop a frustrated and tiring Canelo late.

There IS that chance though, that Team Ginger's plan may have worked to perfection.

Avoid GGG for a few years (nobody remembers that anymore though).

Finally fight him, but with at least one judge on the payroll. (Not to mention a ridiculous split. Team GGG must've been in a coma during the negotiations).

Decision stolen, negotiate a rematch.

Get caught cheating, further putting off the rematch.... begging for Father Time to finally do its thing.

Finally do the rematch with GGG obviously well past his prime.



Even if he wins, Ginger's legacy will be forever tainted.

Everything above.

Come on guys let's not be so harsh. I believe Alvarez about the tainted beef. A lot of Mexican athletes over the past 10 years have tested positive for clenbuterol and it is a very big problem in Mexico and also I heard in Brazil. Remember these are not performance enhancing drugs this is an asthma medication that is given in cattle feed in order to reduce the amount of fat in the animal but it is not a muscle-building drug. The drug itself will actually make the animal very lean by reducing the fat content. Alvarez May indeed have eaten quite a lot of that tainted beef in Mexico. Guadalajara especially a big problem with this stuff. He was going out and around eating a lot of steak he had not begun his training camp yet and that is when it tested positive. I really think that is a true story. What I was in Mexico I remember eating the beef and I remember what happened after that. It's a true story the whole thing about injection marks are just Triple G being a little b****
