Who was a tune up for Alfonso fucking Gomez.
That was a really great fight... Alvarez made some Good adjustments and it really looked like he could have had golovkin out of there but he didn't have the stamina to finish it off. Good plan to take the centre of the ring and tire golovkin, it didn't work out perfectly but won him some rounds in my opinion... The way golovkin recovered too was brilliant he proved himself as a legend tonight, well in my opinion... I think a draw was the fairest result but either guy could have got the decision and I really think they should do it again. That was a top drawer fight and as much as everyone hates alvarez he fought really well tonight and came back swinging everytime golovkin had him hurt.
We all learned a valuable lesson today. You duck a fighter for a couple of years with bogus claims of "marinating the fight" while you wait for your opponent to get a couple of years older. When you finally fight you get an Adelaide Byrd as a judge and get a bogus draw. Then you get caught cheating before the rematch and get a wink and a slap on the wrist from the commission.... thereby pushing the rematch back a few more months. By the time you get the rematch, the other guy is visibly older and slower. Perfect way to continue bloating your resume.
Cotto was a 154-pounder who should've never really ventured into MW. His body frame is too small. To call his avoiding GGG ducking is like saying Floyd ducked Wlad. So Cotto was always going to be too small for GGG. What was Canelo's excuse? Yeah that's right..... FEAR. Canelo could've been fighting at 160 or above years ago. But he preferred hiding from GGG at 154 and showing up 25 pounds heavier than his opponents on fight night.
But he did, didn't he? And why? Cuz not only had his opponent not fought in over a year. But he was a fucking crippled with one good leg. In other words. It was cool to to go to middleweight to fight the crippled Martinez. But not cool to defend against the not crippled Golovkin. Figures.
Think about it. None of that matters when you're trying to make the case that Cotto ducked GGG. It doesn't make any sense. Cotto is not the same size as Canelo.... never was... never will be. Cotto was 154 max. Canelo is a light heavyweight hiding first at 154 and now at 160. Same M.O. as JCC Jr....... only Junior finally fought someone his own size and was made to quit on his stool. Like I said, credit to Canelo for his fight tonight..... but he waited for GGG to get old. 36 is old for a middleweight with the fighting style of GGG.
