- Sport
The fact that there are 15 minutes of highlights shows how good of a fight this was.
Damn, Golovkin's stamina level at 36 years old is insane.
38
34
Imagine if he were 29.
After watching 3rd fight I think this is best fight I ve ever seen.
Two punchers, two best chins. Just fantastic
You gotta watch more boxing and not just the big names

This was one of the best fights I’ve watched since I got into the sport of boxing. Always fun to go back and watch this fight.
I might have watched this 100 times, it is incredible of you study the tape. Much to learn from these men.

It was just a good fight, no way the best ever.

@@alenkeir3262wrong opinion canelo beat him 3 times
@@youngboy2pacdrakefirst fight ggg win
@@youngboy2pacdrake nah kid it was just a retired GGG in the end of his career.
believe prime GGG will crash all canelo's bones just after few rounds.
GGG lost stamina , speed and power at his 38y.o but he still a nightmare for all.
for exemple u see at 11:40 if it was prime GGG he will never give canelo a chance to breath and comeback.
prime canelo can won 10 times with UD vs retired GGG but never KO him .
i think Saul one of the best fighter ever but he never reached the level of prime GGG
The greatest fight I've seen in my lifetime so far.
Do yourself a favor and watch Barrera vs Morales 1, and Castillo vs Corrales 1. Thank me later 😉

una chulada de boxiador el canelo lo mejor de lo mejor
It's a great moment in boxing.
Brilliant!
Modern Gladiators!!
GGG had the similar strategy that Bivol used. Just that Bivol had quicker feet and hands and made a slight adjustment of adding the 3rd punch which is a jab to the combo. 1-2-1 to close the combo. Got to observe this after seeing Thurman explained about this combo surprising Canelo
He is just not in his prime when canelo fought him
you both of you are correct @@marcopadilla1777
Except Bivol was able to use his size and movement/speed to control the range on smaller Canelo while also choosing moments to mix it up and impose his physicality. On the other hand GGG was never able to neutralize Canelo. Matter of fact, GGG's change in tactic from the first fight only made him more vulnerable, because in this fight , because in this fight when Canelo called GGG's Mexican style bluff by coming out aggressive, GGG suddenly had second thoughts and decided to retreat while mostly jabbing instead of committing to his power like usual which only gave Canelo less to worry about as he closed in and hammered GGG's head and body with power shots. GGG wasn't even committing to his jabs the way he normally and ended up absorbing tremendous damage. Afterward GGG refused to claim Mexican style again and even changed trainers to try to change up his style.
As for Bivol, he was a difficult style combined with the next level leap in weight and Canelo was supposedly dealing with injury which hampered his training. He was actually competitive in the early rounds until he started gassing. Side note: another Eastern European Kovalev also tried to fight with that jab heavy style but also lost.
@californio1850 that's a very long text. Will respond to the last paragraph now.
Kovalev was washed up by the time he fought Canelo. Knocked out 2 times. Almost got knocked out by Yarde. And he was back in the ring within 55 days at the age of 38 after a war with Yarde.
So combining Bivol fight and Kovalev fight in the same sentence is a disservice to the legendary Kovalev. Prime Kovalev wouldve KOd Canelo.
And Bivol fight was never competitive. Canelo was throwing useless punches to the shoulders which makes me think he didn't have any serious injury. Someone with a serious hand Injury wouldn't throw rash shots to shoulder and risk further Injury.
It's simple to analyze Canelo fights, if he can't hurt someone and that person has footwork, Canelo is done. He has no new tricks for such an experienced campaigner. He record off late has been padded on British fighters and 3 GGG fights (2 of which ate competitive and first was very close and many thought GGG won).
So yeah Canelo is a bit hyped. At one point. He wanted to face Beterbiev and Usyk. Lol . He will get bloodied by Beterbiev
@@californio1850Canelo struggled with Both Kovalev and Bivol ( which he obviously lost ) was LITERALLY DUE TO being a much less fluid fighter at 175.. Bivol has been in there with big hitters, Canelo has power but it’s the years of moving up in weight that took a toll on his fluid movement like at 160. Bivols about to face beterbiev and we all gonna see the difference between fighting a guy like Canelo at 175 and fighting a full fledged beterbiev who’s literally the monster at 175. Bivol took advantage of Canelo being at his 4th weight class and basically kept it simple to “outbox” but it was really due to Canelos tank and Bivols reach. Bivol is losing to Canelo any day of the week at 160 if they were the same size, same way how GGG never really managed to exploit Canelo. Canelo at 160 was his true prime and he would’ve beat a lot of dudes at the time but they wanted no smoke. GGG and Canelo were the two boogeyman’s at 160, no one was beating any of them especially the Charles and Andrade, they would’ve got KO these two guys are the two kings of MW of the late 2010s
Best fight i have seen in a long time
Tremenda pelea
i love how after ggg ate that shot in the last fight canelo was never seen wearing winning again
It was a great punch by ggg in the 10 round good thing he dint catch canelo moving in also he could of probably knock him out. That was close
One of boxing greatest bouts ever.
The Golden Boy vs The Silver Olympian
You’re watching two boxers who took very separate routes to being the middle weight champs.
Almost Half of Canelos life at this point was being a pro boxer and GGG was one of the greatest decorated amateur boxers ever.
The main thing they had in common was steel chins & bombs in both hands.
I personally give this match to GGG because of the consistent piston jab and his ability to wobble Canelo late despite being the older fighter. But Canelo did what seemed impossible at the time.. stalk GGG for the majority of the fight and walk through all of his artillery to land his own.
Canelo won because he controlled the pace of the fight and landed the cleaner shots power punches are favored over jabs that’s why ggg lost
@@the5minsum442 I don’t buy the narrative of him only landing jabs. I don’t know where it comes from. But GGG landed almost the identical number is jabs as he did power punches. And if Canelo was never able to trap GGG on the ropes I don’t think he was in as much control as people claim.
@@ltamtc1520 ggg didn’t only land jabs but it is the punch he threw and landed the most which is why he out landed canelo in total
canelo on the other hand out landed ggg in power punches and body shots by a way bigger margin which is what won him the fight canelo was firing power shots off all night while ggg was mostly jabbing canelo’s power punches are going to be favored over ggg’s jabs
Canelo was in control of the fight ggg was trying to come forward but he got backed up almost all night
@@the5minsum442 the punch stats are almost identical between GGG’s Jab and his power shots. It’s like 119 jabs and 116 power shots (rough estimate) so again his jab was just as effective as everything else.
Canelo coming forward as much of a move that takes a true A class warrior to do. Doesn’t mean he’s winning. It’s called boxing for a reason. GGG boxed and used movement. If Canelo was coming forward he also has to cut off the ring. Which isn’t really what he did.
@@ltamtc1520 yeah so I’ll say it again canelo still out landed ggg in power shots this is going to be favored by the judges
ggg said he was going to come forward before the fight and yet when fight night came ggg moved backward majority of the night cuz canelo was stalking him ggg’s an aggressive pressure fighter so ggg moving backwards majority of the fight is not what he wanted canelo won 7 out of 12 rounds so clearly his aggression was effective
Two absolute warriors willing to die before giving up.... what a brawl man
Interesting fight pelea interesante⚡🙏✌️❤️
These are 2 special fighters that gave everything in the ring!
1st fight 116-112 for GGG
2nd fight 115-113 for GGG
3rd fight 117-111 Canelo.
Imo, the 1st and 2nd fights were close, but clear wins for GGG. The 3rd fight was completely one-sided for Canelo.
I had Canelo winning the first fight 7-5, even all the way to round 9 and then Canelo securing the last rounds.
Shows how close it was, how you score it comes down to what you look for.
If you score for moving forward and high volume I can see how you’d give it to GGG.
For me Canelo won with cleaner, harder shots in most exchanges.

Gggs face looks defeated
@@mustafakoksal-lo5bt Look man, GGGs corner kept urging him, they didn't tell him he was losing the fight to scare him, they told him to change his tactic of the jab because it was causing him to lose the fight. The most jabs in a match doesn't equate to a victory. The judges will look at OVER ALL PERFORMANCE! Canelo moved more, move better, evaded more punches, countered more punches, threw more power punches, combos were way cleaner. FFS, look at GGGs face!
No other guys would survive a fight like this with either of these two

He was outlanded in power punches. That's how he lost.

Each one of these punches could’ve knocked them down, but they have so much heart and so much will, and a chin that they saw it though the end
Best fight of the trilogy imo.
For every power punch Golovkin landed Canelo landed two. Canelo won this fight on sheer balls, he was actually walking down Golovkin at times. Golovkin couldn't bulldoze his way into victory like he was used to.

Walking down? Being the aggressor doesn’t always mean you’re walking down your opponent lol canelo was connecting but took serious punishment with each exchange
Thad wrong
If you were going to score one of their fights a draw this was the one.
Nah canelo won this one
EXACTLY!!! This is exactly what I said even though I believe GGG won this fight. You robbed GGG the first fight. A draw was the least they could do
I disagree, I had the first fight a draw based on the first 3 and last 3 rounds being Canelo rounds, he didn't win them wide but he won them. GGG in first fight was walking him down and showing good punch resistance willing to take some to give some but if you value good defence, you'll see why people thought Canelo edged those rounds people gave him. I personally couldn't give Canelo more than a draw and if anyone edged it, it was GGG IMO. Simply because Canelo seemed to take his foot off the gas, in the middle portion of the fight were GGG looked as dominant as any of them had looked in the first 2 fights but none of those were 10-8 rounds and previous rounds shouldn't affect your scoring in later rounds. There was also a judge who scored it a draw and some people did give Canelo round 9 for the punch of the fight(had to hurt you could see it after the fight big time) so I can see a scenario where all 3 cards add up to a draw overall(a draw was no robbery). The 2nd fight, I thought a draw would have been fairer too, even though if anyone edged it, it was Canelo, it was still close. That would have restored some of the good will from the first fight, given the weight cutting drug findings and the ridiculous Byrd card(not seen anything remotely like that since he left Goldenboy hmmm?)
Back to the second fight though, I thought BOTH fighters took on board what cost them points with certain judges. Canelo showed he probably fought the wrong fight in the first fight even if he did just about enough edge enough rounds to earn a draw. He came in lighter, had obviously worked on his cardio(did he expect GGG to fade in the first fight?), so didn't take the middle rounds off. He also made sure he was the fighter on the front foot(the most repeated phrase for people who scored it for GGG wide), he controlled the centre of the ring for most of the fight. At the same time GGG showed he can fight on the back foot, although he was never going to be a fighter with elite head movement GGG showed way better defence(parrying and positioning of the guard when done right can offset a lack of head movement) than I think I've ever seen from him.
I think the second fight you saw what sets the two apart when things get really close, besides the obvious difference in styles(GGG the pressure fighter with great punch power and volume, Canelo the aggressive counter puncher who relies as much on his defence as his punch power if you deep it). GGG relied on fast sharp jabs and straight shots in bunches, where Canelo was almost always looking for power punches, hooks to head or body(he's not fussed and I think people ignored a lot of the body shots he got in when it was frantic) no matter how the fight was going, which takes guts. In scoring, power punches should and always have carried a greater weighting. But as I said, I still scored it a draw because round by round that's how I had it. No carrying stuff from the other fight, or previous rounds, I simply had both fights a draw. Neither of them had enough to stop the other guy or even came close to it, they were very evenly matched over all. Even when Canelo was gassed/resting in the first fight, he looked eerily comfortable back to the ropes, lets his hands down to show it while slipping and riding shots, who else has ever done that against GGG?
THE BOTH TOOK THE MOST PUNISHMENT IN THIS FIGHT THAN ANY IF THERE CAREERS

@@alenkeir3262 canelo clearly won the 2nd fight ggg only won the first one
Do you think Canelo took more damage in this fight or against Bivol? I feel like he actually got stunned at least a couple times, and took a lot of shots since he stayed in mid and close range more. Bivol definitely outclassed Canelo, but Bivol also had lower output and didn't seem to sit on his punches.

Commentary was so biased towards GGG. Canelo landed more clean punches than GGG but they are don't want to talk about it.
Canelo landed the cleaner power punches and at a greater connect rate. 144 Canelo power punches to 116 Golovkin power punches. He outlanded Golovkin in power punches in 9 of the 12 rounds. Golovkin landed more jabs but that was nullified by Canelo's power punching pace, both upstairs and downstairs. It's not hard to see how Canelo won the fight.
GGG Landed more TOTAL PUNCHES... but canelo lost the 12th round EASY. One judge gave the 12th round to canelo and that won him the fight

Lol that's what people said going into the first fight. Matter of fact, GGG was still the favorite in this second fight in which Canelo beat GGG at his own game. And if anyone had the demonstrable advantage going into the first fight it was GGG himself who was the hyped up undefeated favorite and a late bloomer with not many total fights or many tough fights period. He was also the career middleweight with a fully matured style as opposed to Canelo was fighting above 155 for only the second time in his career and was a more limited version of himself as a more stationary backfoot counter puncher. For the second fight GGG completely changed up his style and beat GGG at his own game and by his own standards.
@@californio1850 Canelo's coach said vs retired GGG 2 between rounds

"dont risk trading punches "
"dont try u cant knock him out he's too strong."
believe me Canelo is a top fighter maybe in top 10 ever but he had no chance with prime GGG he will crash him like a pepsi can after few rounds.
GGG reminded me George Foreman in HW no one want them in the ring even retired still so dangerous and above all impossible to KO them.
with age they can no longer practice their intensive pressing its natural (age is not only a number) and that situation give others the chance to breathe,counterattack collect some points and running almost 12rounds .
@@entertainmentworld4224 Yeah, GGG fans had been saying he'd destroy Canelo since the first fight but that never happened. The claim that he was an old man up against it is nothing but revisionism when he went in as the heavily hyped up favorite. And fact is, GGG was a late bloomer who at 29 was still a raw fighter getting dragged into a sloppy war vs smaller gatekeeper Ouma in which GGG was missing wildly while getting tagged flush. That version of GGG would have gotten lit up by Canelo. GGG polished his style after 30 when he teamed with Abel and didn't even face his first reigning champ until 33 vs Lemieux who was closer to a gatekeeper with power rather than elite. Like I said, the only one with the demonstrable advantage going in was the favorite GGG who was fully in his comfort zone as a career middleweight with the matured style and few tough or total fights as a pro. As a opposed to Canelo who was fundamentally different stylistically with limited experience above 155. Side note: it's convenient how GGG fans say they wish the fight happened according to whatever their notion of GGG's peak, but if the first fight happened according to Canelo's peak, it would have been several years later down the line when Canelo was more comfortable on the frontfoot.
It's also convenient how GGG revisionist fans claim after the fact that he got old the exact second he stepped in the ring with someone with a wrinkle in their game lol. It's easy to impress when you're strictly fighting 2nd and 3rd tier fighters there to be knocked out but there are levels in boxing and GGG hadn't been facing the elite. Funny how GGG looked just as devastating as ever the minute he stepped down his opposition after Canelo 1, when he scored a devastating KO over gatekeeper Martirosyan. Like I said, there are level.
Meanwhile the 3rd fight was stylistically fundamentally different with Canelo changing up his style and fighting on the frontfoot. GGG after all his Mexican style talk, suddenly abandoned his team's plan and tried to back up and jab his way out of the fight he called for only to end up catching more damage with Canelo having less to worry about as he closed in with power to GGG's body and head.
Funny you bring up the in the corner comments when that only highlights the difference in their approach, because GGG's trainer seemed confused by GGG abandoning their gampeplan and was telling him he was losing and needed to do more whereas Canelo's corner let him know he was doing well and not to get overeager chasing the KO.
That's the interesting thing, even though GGG was the next level hyped puncher, when the two shared the experience of being in the ring for 12 rounds in the first fight, it was GGG who seemed to have that seed of doubt planted in his head after because Canelo was the first guy he ever faced who could take his best shots while responding with big shots of his own. On the other hand, Canelo was emboldened by realizing he could take GGG's biggest shots and even full blown stand and trade in the later rounds. Afterward he said that although GGG hit hard it wasn't anything he couldn't handle and felt he had hurt GGG a few times, and promised he'd bring the fight straight to GGG for the second and try to score the KO. Most people didn't take his comments seriously because pressing on GGG was considered to be a suicide mission at the time, but Canelo did just that. He didn't get the KO but he did turn the tables and beat GGG at his own game.
Ironically, it was team GGG who constantly thumped their chests in the leadup to the second fight about epitomizing Mexican style while questioning if Canelo had the heart to fight in that style. But it was GGG who refused to ever claim Mexican style again after all the damage he caught. Afterward GGG went back to his comfort zone fighting lower tier fighters whereas Canelo moved up and lined up champs.
Claramente las reacciones del canelo estan estimuladas con kelbuterol, pero ese uso le pasara factura de los proximos años, lo haran lento y su cardio disminuira, esos efectos se ven ahora en estos años, no debio ayudarase de eso para enfrentar a ggg
It's crazy how Canelo fought GGG walking him down, never took a step back, went blow for blow, something that nobody couldn't do, but yet everyone is praying GGG.

I felt GGG was better
Would've loved to see this version of Canelo against Bivol. But i think he definitely slipped since then
Also Bivol fights at 170 fight limit which means he looses weight to come in at that weight on fight night bivol most likely came In at 200 lbs
Not sure how Golovkin survived the left hook in 2nd round
Ggg is the best fighter
