HBO's Lampley Explains: Golovkin is Slipping, He's Deteriorating - Boxing News
HBO's Lampley Explains: Golovkin is Slipping, He's Deteriorating
By Radio Rahim
Last Saturday night in Las Vegas - IBF, WBA, WBC, IBO middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 KOs) fought to a twelve round draw with Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs) at the T-Mobile Arena.
While the fight was close and competitive, there were many who felt Golovkin had done enough to win.
The official judges had it 118-110 Canelo, 115-113 Golovkin and 114-114 for the split draw.

Now a rematch is being discussed, potentially for Cinco De Mayo weekend in May of 2017.
HBO's veteran broadcast analyst, Jim Lampley, believes the Golovkin we saw last Saturday night is not the same fighter who demolished 23 straight opponents inside the distance.
Golovkin has now gone the full twelve round distance in his last two fights - and some experts believe he's a step slower, not as accurate and becoming too hittable.
Lampley is one of those experts who believes that Golovkin, approaching 36-years-old, is starting to show signs of aging.
Although he felt Golovkin did enough to win last weekend, Lampley has serious doubts about GGG's ability to win the rematch.
"[After watching the Canelo fight,] I've learned that Gennady Golovkin is deteriorating before our very eyes. I believe that he's slipping and I did not really see it that clearly in the Jacobs fight as I saw it this time. Most particularly his unbelievable footwork, his ability to trap opponents and put pressure on them - isn't there any more," Lampley told BoxingScene.com.
"And he only landed eight body shots in the fight, apparently concerned about being countered upstairs by Canelo. Now I say that despite the fact that I thought Gennady was the actual winner of the fight.
"But seeing what I saw in that fight, I don't know if I'd make him the favorite to win the rematch - because I think Canelo learned enough about what Gennady does. And if Gennady does not get back some of what it seems to me that he's lost, if he's going to be that timid about throwing body shots in the second fight - then I think Canelo is going to take a big advantage of that. I think you are going to have to see a slightly different Gennady Golovkin if he's going to be the winner of the second fight."
Sad. Already starting the juelz'ing.
Also, stunningly the HBO main announcer gave no compliments to HBO's main fighter, just excuses for their side piece.

There already are rumors regarding Joshua facing New Zealand’s Joseph Parker (24-0, 18 KOs), the WBO champion, sometime in July at Wembley Stadium in London. Joshua-Wilder would be a more attractive alternative.
“When I beat him, I want Joshua,” Wilder said, referring to Ortiz. “Everybody knows that I wanna unify the division. And whoever I’ve gotta beat to finally get that fight made, then let’s do it. If Ortiz is the gatekeeper for unifying, then I can’t wait. But my ultimate goal is to unify. I’m waiting on them. As you can see, I’ve been ready. I’ve been calling all these champions out. I’ve done called these champions out – from Povetkin, Glazkov dodging me and going to Charles Martin. I done called out the Klitschkos, I called out the Furys.
“You know, Klitschko told me I’ve got to fight somebody else. But I’ve got the WBC belt. Why you didn’t wanna come take this? You had all the titles and I had the WBC belt. Why I’ve gotta fight somebody else? If I’m that easy, why people feel like they have to dodge me, if I’m so easy? I don’t understand it. If I’m fighting all bums and I ain’t fought nobody, why these mother*ckers don’t wanna fight me? That should be something people should contemplate in they mind? Why they ain’t fighting if it’s that easy. So with that being said, I wanna unify. So after this fight, when Joshua do what he gotta do with Pulev, and I’m gonna do what I’ve gotta do with Ortiz, I ain’t gotta say no more.”
