Canelo Alvarez agrees terms for GGG rematch

[Mexi-Box]

He had 12 rounds to "smash him" last September and couldn't get the job done.

I don't see the predictable Golovkin improving any come May.

If Golovkin was so predictable how did he arguably beat Canelo? The real thing is that no one sees Canelo's stamina improving. Golovkin has a better coach and can fight a better fight. He was the ring general throughout the fight. Canelo, on the other hand, can't improve on his performance.

That's funny because just about every critique I've seen about the rematch all agree that Canelo is the more adaptable, multi-dimensional fighter who figures to up his game.

On the other hand, what you saw from Golovkin in September is pretty much what you'll see any time he steps into the ring.

Even Canelo's detractors admitted being impressed with his all-around performance, showcasing defense skills that few suspected he possessed.

As I always say, if you're a big fan of pressure and aggresiveness, then you'll probably always feel that Golovkin wins.

But if you favor what's important in scoring a fight---clean effective punching, whether you're coming forward or fighting off your back foot--then Canelo is the obvious winner.

In my view, it was the Mexican who was the ring general since he repeatedly lured Golovkin inside and then rattled him with solid shots.

Golovkin might have done more work but to what end if he's getting smacked with heavy counters?

Honestly, the draw flattered him.

Canelo has never been a good ring general. Only way he'll win the rematch is if GGG gets old overnight. Most think GGG won that fight.

If the news says Canelo agrees to terms for the GGG rematch, does that mean he agrees to his own terms for the rematch?

Well Canelo is the A lister. The face of boxing.

Guys like that usually set the terms.

Everyone else just lines up behind him and says "Whatever you want Señor Canelo. I want to be rich just like you."

Unless his conditions are too outrageous for somebody having his own popularity, achievements and self-respect. Then it could turn into "F*ck you, Señor Canelo".

Well, Canelo has agreed to the terms for a rematch (his terms), so it is GGG I guess holding the whole thing up. Come on GGG quit ducking and dodging!
