It was only yesterday I found out Canelo lost to Dmitrii Bivol, shocking I know! but hopefully I will catch up. Would love to hear your opinions on who you think will win the trilogy fight?

LondonRingRules Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 --- Looking at the 1-2 and presumably fight 3 advances of Canelo, GGG lucky to not get KOed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I don't even want to watch this fight. Can't stand the idea of GGG getting humilitaed. Canelo too young, too good. Golovkin too past his prime. It's kind of obvious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledhed1 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I can see GGG being as ready and motivated for this fight as any in his career. That being said the time for him to have the best chance to beat Canelo was probably 2-3 years ago. Canelo has the motivation of bouncing back from the Bivol loss on his side. The trilogy finishes 2-0-1 Canelo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a year later the verdict could easily have gone to Golovkin, despite Canelo's drug enhanced performances. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canelo has never failed a drug test and the only boxer or boxer of note to provide hair follicles for backup testing as well. Ya could look it up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRingRules Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 --- Not a good look to see light in the loafer fans living in the past when we are mere days from perhaps the greatest Middleweight Trilogy in history. Been an excellent contrast in styles with Canelo keeping GGG moving so he could not set to punch while Canelo set up his own counters in the first fight. 2nd fight Canelo set up ring center to blast GGG back anytime he dared to enter for 9-10 rounds before Canelo now confident reverted to to keep GGG moving for the counter punch. Ring pick Canelo 20-0 with most by KO, so it's too often a curse as Canelo found out vs Bivol. If GGG looks as bad as he did early vs Murata, yeah, Canelo might KO him, otherwise I predict a decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledhed1 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Let's not forget this third fight is at 168 so a trilogy not entirely at middleweight. I said earlier GGG's best chance to win was probably 2-3 years ago and I was corrected. Better said his last chance to win was probably 2-3 years ago or his best chance to win a third fight was 2-3 years ago. Good for him he's still able to get a payday while hopefully he strolls into retirement with his senses still intact. Canelo moves on to Benavidez in the new year.

Cableaddict Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Kinda' funny how only now, Fast Eddie is trying to sell the (correct) idea that Golovkin was robbed in the first fight. He's had three new judges score the bout posthumously, and they all gave it comfortably to GGG. Because, you know, that Eddie Hearn is just a stand up guy ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 - - Eddie has barely promoted this fight. It might do OK, but really boxing in another down cycle of it's own making. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRingRules Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 *****SPOILERS***** / / / / / / / / / / --- Canelo outpoints GGG 116-112 115-113 x2 Didn't watch, but sounds like GGG busted up early and hurt, then came back strong too late. The closing tepid 12th round sounds like both fighters were spent. I'll get back with my scoring after I watch the fight, but mid rounds the fans were booing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledhed1 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Canelo won the first 8 rounds. GGG won the 9th, and I suspect the judges got a bit excited, started to see GGG in a different light and gave him more rounds than he deserved down the stretch. It wasn't competitive. It was clear GGG needed a late knockout to win, which was never in danger of happening. GGG looked the part of an old fighter. Perhaps we'll hear excuses like overtraining; it's always so crystal clear in hindsight. GGG reminded us he's still middleweight champion so it appears he has no intention of retiring. Perhaps he chalks this result up being unable to handle 168. If he can still bring it at 160, that'll be good for a division that's been seeing dark days for a while. Perhaps Canelo squeezes in a fight for late this year or early next - as he's done that more than once in recent years - before setting up a biggie for Cinco de Mayo. Benavidez would do nicely in that spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 ringside report by Barbara Pinnella Saul Alvarez vs Gennadiy Golovkin; Canelo Still Reigns Supreme! All the belts were on the line. Those WBC, WBA, WBO, IBF, and RING super middleweight titles were in the balance when Canelo and GGG hit the ring. But there was a lot more than that. Bad blood between the two made both men bitter. Couple that with the loss Canelo had last time out against Bivol and emotions were high. MAIN EVENT Alvarez vs Golovkin Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (58-2-2, 39 KOs) took on, for the third time, Gennadiy “GGG” Golovkin (42-2-1, 37 KOs) for all of the that glitter mentioned earlier, and all of the glory that goes along with it. Both men were throwing little strikes in the opening round. More contact from both fighters in the second round. Points scored for both with some good shots. A bit more urgency in the third. Canelo was coming in a lot more and landed some really good punches. He caught Golovkin with a solid shot which sent him backwards. Canelo was definitely the aggressor in the third round.

LondonRingRules Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 --- Way I understand it, at some point Canelo broke his wrist/hand that may well explain the GGG late surge. At any rate, after surgery I doubt he fights until '23, nor would I expect Golovkin to fight until then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closing tepid 12th round sounds like both fighters were spent. "came back strong" is a massive overstatement. Golovkin simply landed a few more safe punches than earlier in the fight. And Canelo did fukall even in the early rounds. Golovkin wasn't even trying to win, and Canelo just played it safe for 12 rounds. I’ve seen more exciting charity sparring matches. I'm still waiting for the fight to start. Both men owe the fans a public apology. Actually, they should both personally repay everyone that bought PPV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
