GGG vs Derevyanchenko on Oct 5 @ MSG - DAZN/Sky Sports

[Ron Swanson]

If GGG can’t get Canelo a deal is in place for him to face Kamil Szeremeta, if you are wondering who that is, he is a boxer. Don’t bother looking up his fights, there are none of note. GGG gonna GGG, not a rematch with the deserving Derevyanchenko, not a rematch with the deserving Jacobs, not Andrade who he told face to face he would fight, we know he will never fight Charlo. No, he’s looking to fight Kamil f’n Szeremeta. And he has a mandatory excuse for the apologists to use.

GGG isn’t in a point of his career to where he can take these fights. They are pointless at this point. I have no interest in him fighting anybody who isn’t a top guy. As you pointed out, he has multiple people to pick from that would be more than happy to fight him. I would even be alright with Murata at this point. I was a fan of his until he let Canelo dictate his career. He chased money. I can’t blame him but he lost a fan in doing so.

Yeah, I'll add my voice to the chorus. Defending GGG at this juncture is pointless. He whored himself out to Canelo, pure and simple. Canelo no longer needs him, unless it's to make some good bucks knocking him out (GGG is getting older.... Canelo's been there, done that). History will forever link GGG with the Canelo fights, and yes...... it is impossible to ignore the many fights he should've had. What a turnaround in a negative sense.

I've been a GGG fan for years, and I have to say he showed serious signs of decline in this fight.

It was a great contest that could have gone either way, a bit like Canelo 2 (the first fight was a robbery but the second was close)

I thought Golovkin was slow, both in hand and foot. He was never the quickest puncher but was fearsomely accurate and this wasn't the case this time. His footwork in keeping an opponent under constant pressure had also slowed.

His chin was till great, but he showed lots of weakness to the body.

Nobodybseems to have mentioned the fact he missed weight in the run up to the fight. First time has done that in his career. I was also deeply unimpressed with his corner. Bad training camp maybe?
