If He Dies, He Dies : GGG introduces Canelo to 160 - The Official Canelo Vs GGG Thread

[FreshBreeze]

Canelo won the first few rounds. But after that ggg won the rest of em. It was like a cat trying to catch a mouse in the ring.

50 bucks turned into 900 ...first time in my boxing bets ive hit a draw..shyt is crazy to me lol..i guess karma had to right the injustice i suffered from my bet on the rigo-flores fight..which i should have won if the proper method of victory was called

 

[BlackManLiveFromLondon]

Once again TBE raises the interest in Boxing and the follow up big event fukks up

'b b but that shyt was a circus it was bad for boxing ' only to get a 118-110 for Canelo . Now dont get me wrong I think Canelo won 7-5 but the dummy went overboard trying to say that Canelo did a Mayweather-esque performance. If she had said 115-113 to Canelo there wouldnt be any outrage . Now that decision just gives casuals who were looking at this fight less incentive to follow Boxing

@Newzz looks like Wilder has to save boxings reputation

For the record, this fight confirms that triple g would of never beat floyd lol
Hes right about triple ggg
Hes straight up and down no special effects
But you need stamina as well as boxing skills to beat him
The way the first three rounds went is how the entire fight would go against floyd
Canelo gassing out made interesting
Solid fight though
I gained respect more respect for both fighters
I still cant believe triple g was walkon thru some of those punches

Any links to fight last night?

GGG is usually a class act but someone really should tell him to leave this Mexican style gimmick behind
talking about himself as he would be Mexican, criticizing Canelo for not having Mexican style...
Aside that I think this whole national pride topic is a bullshyt how comes a Kazakh telling a true Mexican what he's supposed to do to be more Mexican
He even calls himself partially Mexicn now cause what.. he has a Mexican coach and he likes to eat burritos?

isn't this called cultural appropriation or something like that?
also a generalization of Mexican boxing as some barbarian dog fight as opposed to his "sophisticated, well honed, fundamentally perfect Euro amateur style".

I really think he is a class act and he just does this because he doesn't know better, he doesn't think about what this really means and there's nobody around him who would tell him not to do. In fact HBO intentionally built him up in the States with this Mexican style "PR".

Someone must not have told skilled counter punchers like salvador sanchez juan manuel marquez etc about that generalization.
They got diff styles

Lol prime Floyd is a 140-147 fighter, he would get slumped by big aas GGG especially if the fight was at 160.

GET OVER IT. FLOYD IS 50-0 THE GOAT. HIGHEST PAID BOXER IN HISTORY. GGG couldn't touch the GOAT.

Everbody loves coming up with that generalization about Mexican boxers.

 

[GREENandYELLOW]

the only good thing is that GGG is close to tying the MW defenses record

View attachment 18911

I was wondering about that. So a draw still counts towards your defenses?

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

Best moment of the fight for me was when little G had Nelo pinned on the ropes...One of the kids I train that was over watching the fight turns and says "coach he giving him the body and he not taking it"...

That's how you know you trained these youngins right and this one in a few years could be a real one...

yeah..he didnt lose his belts

it also means canelo is still the lineal MW champion which irritates me more

 

[RapExpert]

The judge everyone assumed GB had in their pocket, Dave Moretti(he gave Canelo 4 rounds vs Floyd, 11 rounds vs Cotto) scored the fight for GGG. The only scorecard that was bad was Byrd's, if GB wanted corruption you really think they wanted this bidge scoring the fight this damn wide??? She's simply a bad judge, she's had scorecards in the UFC involving fights that dont really matter in the grand scheme of things where she's given one fighter all 3 rounds of a fight while the other judges had unanimous sweeps on the other end. Her being way off the mark ain't nothing new.

I want you to tell Teddy Atlas this in a locked room

 

[malbaker86]

GGG did not cut the ring off, Canelo would pivot off the ropes and do it again, when he wanted to go to the ropes he went to the ropes, when he wanted to unleash combos when he wanted in the center, look at GGG's face, plus Canelo's body attack is why he won because body punches are automatically scored as POWER SHOTS

GGG didn't land any power shots, plus the compubox numbers are not accurate and have nothing to do with scoring
this why you morons are confused

Following somebody around the boxing ring doesn't mean you are winning, GGG was frustated that's why he was trying to rush down like that, because he couldn't get to him, he couldn't hit him

Every time Canelo went to the ropes he would land 4 5 shots before pivoting out to safety

its called COUNTER FIGHTING

You clearly live up to title that was given to you

 

[Apex]

They're definitely shook. They won't do a rematch until 2019.
