GGG fans can't say anything about it


Canelo vs Wade, Monroe, Geale, Brook coming up

He would pose a stylistic challenge and would give some problems to Canelo but if he could beat Lara and Trout who have similar style to Monore's just on a higher level he also should beat Monroe clearly.

What Kovalev said about the Canelo/GGG sparring was:


“There were like 50/50,” Kovalev recalled. “Canelo looked very good with Gennady. Everybody in the training camp was very interested. Golovkin was not supposed to give Canelo the ‘full treatment,’ and it was clear from the sparring I saw that he was indeed holding back. Still, Golovkin ‘holding back’ was a lot for Canelo, only 20 at the time, to deal with. And the young man did well. I’d say he held his own, even though he couldn’t hurt Golvokin with his best shots. Golovkin hurt Alvarez a few times — a hook at the end of the second round visibly stunned him and some body shots made him wince — but the young man kept his head and found ways to compete even when he was clearly tired (a combination of the altitude and GGG’s pressure) in the last two rounds.”

Yeah if team ggg think they are fighting this version of Canelo I got some bad news for them. The ggg from 7 years ago is still the same ggg of today and he hasn't fought the type of comp that will elevate his game either. Meanwhile Canelo has improved in every way since then.

Crolla - Linares
Wlad vs Fury II
Joshua vs either Pulev or Parker
possibly Charlo vs J-Rock
possibly Charlo vs Hatley
Andrade vs Culcay
Loma vs Collazo
possibly Frampton vs LSC II
Crawford vs anyone (probably Troyanovski, Orozco or Diaz)
Danny vs Molina
possibly Chilemba vs Beterbiev
Golovkin fight in November (Jacobs?)
Canelo fight is December (if the hand injury isn't serious)
possibly DeGale vs Badou Jack
Stevenson vs Eleider Alvarez
maybe Bradley vs someone...?
possibly Salido vs Miura
possibly Mikey vs Zlaticanin

yeah many of them not confirmed but let's hope...

Kell has a few more days to notify the IBF if he's gonna vacate....might get a Spence fight before years end for the belt too.

Really... Spence title figh too

I thought Brook is already stripped though

 

[ChocolateGiddyUp]

Canelo can fight Stevens, BJS, Lemeuix or a 154 fighter at 160

Nobody wanna see Monroe


Rosado looked like more then usual

I think he was on some shyt for the Kid Choc fight...his back was fukkin huge N he hasn't had that good of a performance since (even tho he lost)

who edited this?.....look at the real article at boxing scene. kovalev's only remark was the first sentence. that it was 50/50 and canelo did very good against him. everything after that was boxing scene quoting Doug Fischer from years back. and dude is still the only person who said Canelo got hurt. other people have said that was a lie and canelo and little g went back and forth. now Kovalev saying it was a toss up too. I'll take his word over Doug fischers lame ass.

 

[#SOG_soldier]

What other fights are lined up for the rest of the year brehs?

Pac-Vargas

AB vs burns gone be an event

if Burns fight 2-3 weeks from now I highly doubt that we will see a Broner vs Burns fight this year

 

[Newzz]

if Burns fight 2-3 weeks from now I highly doubt that we will see a Broner vs Burns fight this year

Why? Burns fights on October 7th & has already mentioned facing AB in December and vice versa

December assuming he wins and doesn't get hurt

That is what I was thinking. Seemed like Fischer's comments parlayed into being Kovalev's opinion.

Personally I don't care. That was so long ago that both fighters are different and better.

My interest is I like to hear boxing stories that we don't get to hear as often. Like the rumors of Spence giving Floyd a tough time in sparring, made us think Spence might be a real one and fulfill the hype and he has. Doesn't mean in an actual fight with the lights on in front of fans he could win.

fam let these nikkas cook. A supposed w over a 19 yr old Canelo in sparring is the biggest W of his career

I might fukk around and get banned from all the trolling ima be doing when Canelo beats his overrated ass

IBF gave him 10 days. Hearn saying he won't vacate if he can't secure a major fight at 154.
