Round-by-Round: Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez vs. Gennadiy 'GGG' Golovkin III | DAZN PPV - September 17, 2022

[Ruthless-RKO]

“I was disappointed by the efforts. It looked like one guy wasn’t ready to fight, and the other guy was glad,” said Abel Sanchez to Fight Hub TV about last Saturday’s trilogy fight between Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin.

“It didn’t go as I thought it would go. I felt like Gennadiy’s first eight rounds were like hitting the mitts. It was like two friends sparring with one another.

“Canelo was throwing punches with bad intentions, and Gennadiy was not aggressive enough to try and win the fight. It seemed like at the beginning anyway, but not towards the end.

“It just seemed like he was happy to be there and not to try and win but to go 12 rounds and survive the 12 rounds. That’s not Gennadiy to me.

“That’s a good excuse, but I don’t buy it,” said Sanchez when told that Golovkin said that he made a “strategic” mistake by conserving his energy in the first nine rounds.

“If he was 30 years old or 20 years old, okay, I could see it because he has a long career ahead of him. He’s 40 years old; he fighting at a weight where he’s not putting his belts in danger; nobody has ever hurt him in a fight.

“You try to win by being aggressive. If you run out of gas, you run out of gas, but the other guy is going to run out of gas too. He’s in the same boat. Actually, I thought Canelo may have been breathing a little heavy towards the end of the fight.

“Imagine if Gennadiy had applied some pressure, then he really would have run out of gas. That’s a good excuse, but I don’t buy it. Since we parted, he’s tried to put on a different persona inside the ring, a different style, a different way of addressing every round.

“When we were together, we addressed every round. It wasn’t a fight. It wasn’t 12 rounds, and it wasn’t what was going to happen in the end. I wanted to win every round and do whatever we could to win every round.

“It seemed like he was reacting to what Canelo was doing, and that wasn’t the Gennadiy that I knew. If he doesn’t want to do it, it doesn’t matter what we say in the corner.

“Johnathon was trying to urge him, but you can only do in a fight what you did in the gym. It’s not going to change his mind because he’s only intuned to what he wants to do,” said Sanchez.

G is a 40 y/o man. He ain't that stupid to get his brain scrambled at his age. Canelo is a vicious counter puncher with very fast hands.

G boxed 12 rounds vs Canelo, didn't get hurt or injured, got his biggest payday and now he's moving forward to get other future big paydays. Why take unnecessary punishment at this stage ?
