But there were two sentences spoken by one of the combatants which did arouse curiosity. At the end of today’s very dull final press conference, Gennady Golovkin said this when asked by the event interviewer: “…I believe it’s not last fight for us. Maybe this is first fight. I believe I have second fight too.”

Why is Gennady Golovkin already talking about a rematch? Is he looking ahead past the first fight already? Shouldn’t he be talking about beating Canelo so bad for ducking him for two years that Canelo shouldn’t even want a rematch?


------------------------------

Suddenly I am beginning to worry that GGG might throw the fight, or he knows he's gonna get robbed. What do you make of these comments?

He's basically saying he'll beat Canelo and Canelo will activate his rematch clause, GGG hasn't got a rematch clause.

On the money.
Nice subtle quip at Alverez. Classy

I don't think the public will want to see a second fight after GGG destroys him.

Good after this knockout win in about 10 round's GGG will do it earlier in the rebelting GGG should steer clear of S.O.G

Think about it...this is GGG's last big opponent so of course he wants to multiply his fortunes from it if he can. There's no one else he can sign on to fight that will bring in this kind of money. PLUS, it won't be long before people start calling GGG out to fight Charlo and that fight is ALL WRONG for an aging fighter. My guess is that GGG wants to end his career with a couple big fights against Canelo and retire before the Charlo noise gets heavy.

Canelo himself will not want a repeat of that beating.

Your feelings are betraying you just as they did with Floyd/Conor.

Nice article where Golovkin recollects his early life and career:

Also sounded like he knows he's gonna get robbed and will get the second fight. Boxing is so corrupt and untrustworthy right now in USA it's hard to trust or analyze anything without considering the corruption factor. And for the business of boxing - Vegas, gambling syndicates, TV network, Mexican demographic - all roads lead to a Canelo win or robbery win. GGG has to step up and beat the system. Hopefully the system hasn't made him a big fat offer that he could not refuse. Meaning the second fight will be the real one.

One fight makes ggg ~20 million, 2 fights with canelo 40. Of course he wants as many fights possible with canelo!

I think Golovkin is playing mind games... He wants to beat Canelo so bad a rematch won't be necessary... so he's talking about a rematch naturally.

He's not a stupid guy... He wants to put Canelo at ease a bit... This is going to be war.

I think we've already concluded that Alvarez will narrowly legit win the first fight, but Golovkin's fans will claim it was a robbery, and each of us have already decided whether we think it is a robbery, and then Alvarez will win the rematch by KO, but Golovkin's fans will claim it was a low blow. I think we can skip right ahead to debating whether there should be a rubber match. I agree with what is the likely consensus that Kovalev, I mean Golovkin, is too old and too faded to be competitive in a rubber match, so there's no point.

Not the same fight, and there are nutty fans for pretty much every fighter at that level. While there is some fan overlap between GGG and Kov, there is also overlap in the people eagerly hoping for them to lose for various reasons, whether demographic or 'we cant stand that people on forums hype them!!'. You can also see a lot more pro-Alvarez (and Ward) sentiment at other sites, and the most over the top hype tends to come from casuals, of which Canelo has more supporting him.

OP not making much sense here, as a rematch is more likely if the guy with the rematch clause (Alvarez) loses....

That's what happens when you base your predictions on emotions instead of logic and facts. Emos are not known for accurate sports predictions!!

Right. The logic and fact is that there is much more upside revenue wise to rig the Canelo win. GGG is 35 and over the hill. The boxing industry and all the trickle down profits far more if Canelo wins. Canelo is the Franchise. GGG is the patsy. The franchise owner has enough $$$ to buy off the patsy. Easy to rig such an outcome by giving the over the hill guy the big bag of $ to play soft. Hope this speculation is all wrong and we get a real honest fight with zero corruption.

Unfortunately boxing in Las Vegas and USA can't be trusted at this time to let the sport be honest and play out naturally.

It all makes sense now. Your name is Oliver Jones. You are the lovechild of Alex Jones and Oliver Stone and Boxrec's Moron Laureate, of course.

No fight in boxing history was ever fixed. Money means nothing in boxing, it's all about fair competition and giving the fans the best vs the best in truthful real uncorrupted fights! Boxing is run by saints and philanthropists!

The contract for the GGG-Canelo fight included a stipulation whereby the Mexican would be entitled to an immediate rematch should he lose to the Kazakh.

There is no such clause that compels Canelo to face GGG again, should he somehow defy the betting odds and score an upset victory over Golovkin.

Therefore, only a simpleton would fail to interpret the meaning behind Gennady’s words, since he is claiming that he’ll almost certainly beat Alvarez, which would then contractually compel GGG to agree to engage in a rematch.

How on earth did you not know this?

They're going to put the chemicals in GGG's water that turn the freakin' frogs gay.

They're going to try to fix the fight anyway they can... Look at the officials... They have total TMT people there.

Floyd hates Golovkin and has gone on record many times saying Canelo will knock Golovkin out.
