Golovkin v Canelo 2 CONFIRMED

[brocktonblockbust]

It's six months from February the 17th so I think it ended about a week ago.

I heard he ate a tainted burrito at midnight last Saturday. So he was still within the six months

Munguia gets Brandon Cook on undercard. At first look that feels like a one way thrashing. Any chance they're just setting up his 160 debut with Lemieux-Spike winner? Or will Canelo get the winner for his comeback fight after Golovkin beats the freckles off of him.

Munguia has been talking unification, so I hope that's the path he takes. This will be a pasting.

Love to see unification and 154 is pretty deep to me. I'm banking on Charlo v Hurd to hook up first with promotion. Style wise Hurd and Munguia could be held in a walk in closet and be pretty brutal. Be interesting to see where he goes after this.

This style of wrapping is legal in Vegas tho.

A score card like Adalaide Bird's is legal there too

Classic. All those advantages, wraps, weight, beef, judges etc and he still couldn't win.

Canelo really is a prick

This fight has become personal,” Alvarez said in a blog post released by HBO. “I will use this in my favor—obviously with intelligence—for this battle. The cordiality that we had, not in the ring but outside of it, has ended because of many things. Because of the many times they opened their mouth. … I know they are bothered, but I don’t know why since it is I who has made them gain so much [money]. They say they don’t worry about that. They say they don’t fight about that, but that’s the first thing they fight about—the money, the purse. There’s nothing else they care about more. It’s hypocritical for them to say otherwise.”

On an objective level, it’s hard to disagree with the notion that fighting Alvarez was a huge boon for Golovkin’s wallet.

Before Golovkin made upward of $20 million for their clash last year (Alvarez reportedly pulled in about $50 million) Golovkin’s previous purses were $2 million vs. David Lemieux, $2 million vs. Dominic Wade, somewhere between $3 million-$5 million vs. Kell Brook, and $2.5 million vs. Daniel Jacobs. Plus, after Alvarez had to bail on the original rematch date because of his failed drug tests and subsequent suspension and Golovkin fought Vanes Martirosyan, Golovkin earned $1 million.

But in his own blog this week, Golovkin said he isn’t impressed by Alvarez, writing he’s actually not a special fighter.

“Canelo is my most important fight because he is my next fight,” Golovkin said. “That is the only thing that makes Canelo special. There was nothing special about him in the first fight. He did not fight Mexican Style like he promised. Over the last twelve months, Canelo has showed everyone his true self.”

With only 14 days to go before their fight, the narrowing betting odds have stabilized in the past two weeks. As of Friday afternoon, Golovkin was -160, meaning you’d have to bet $160 to win $100. Alvarez, meanwhile, is +130, which means you’d earn $130 with a $100 wager.

I am sooooo hoping that GGG comes in for the kill. That will be the only thing that makes the fight worth it.

[brocktonblockbust]

If Triple G comes in for the kill it will play right into canelo's hands. Canelo needs to break some jawbones in this fight by moving forward and stepping into the pocket. If Triple G is coming in for the kill Canelo has better speed and will knockout Triple G

All Alvarez is doing is telling the truth. He has made Golovkin a lot of money. Money he would never see if he fought someone else.

Canelo doesn't have to come forward in this rematch because it looks like GGG is going to be more aggressive coming right at Canelo which gives Canelo the advantage of knowing basically what the strategy is of his opponent and Canelo can either move back to sucker GGG to rush forward even faster but since Canelo is fast on his feet he can then do a quick pivot and pop him straight down the pipe right on that communist chin that Turkish chin that he has.

Canelo is going to score a shocking one punch knockout in something like the third round to shop the world

Canelo's frame isn't the same. Triple G hits a lot harder as well and will be much angrier this time as he got really ripped off in that last decision and will want to finish this guy up quick this time. When you add that anger in there and that he really wants to make a statement he may indeed kill Canelo.

Round 3

If Triple G comes in for the kill it will play right into canelo's hands. Canelo needs to break some jawbones in this fight by moving forward and stepping into the pocket. If Triple G is coming in for the kill Canelo has better speed and will knockout Triple G

Either way you're covered.
