Golovkin-Szeremita

[SWC75]

Triple G , in his first fight in 440 days, (and he looked over-the hill in the last one against Sergiy Derevyanchenko) looked refreshed and much more like his old self in dominating a Polish fighter who either was bad or made to look so by GGG, who was quick with a piston-like jab and landing heavy punches behind it the whole seven rounds. Szeremita was tough and got back up from four knockdowns, the last from a jab), but his seconds convinced him to quit in the corner to avoid serious injury, as he was badly outgunned. GGG looked ready for some big-money fights, including a third bout with Canelo Alvarez, who fights tomorrow night. I thought GGG won the first two and got robbed with a draw and loss. he's not done yet.

The draw was especially ridiculous.

Thanks for the write up. I couldn't bring myself to watch a 38 year old fighter, who the last few times I saw him, had major diminished punching power. Sounds like he might be in a better way now, but man, I think he'd get killed fighting Canelo now. I don't know if Canelo's camp would do a 3rd, interest wouldn't be close to the first 2 imo, and is Canelo even intrigued with a 3rd or can he get up for it? I don't like Canelo and I rooted for GGG both times and he definitely won the first one. That said I'll be watching Canelo prob destroy Callum tonight.

The 5-9 Alvarez might have some problems against the 6-3 Smith. I'll post a summary to this thread.

I would normally think the same, but with Canelo I always think his camp or himself sees a weakness to expose in an opponent and chooses to fight them for a reason.

Maybe it's time to start a boxing thread. I'll put the Canelo summary under than and maybe the administrators can collect past threads about individual bouts and transfer them.

Ok, so with Lomachenko v Lopez tonight, it is imo one of the best matchups of the decade. I've liked Lopez for a while now, and can't wait. I have a lot of respect for Loma and he is the favorite for good reason, but his last few fights he hasn't been his usual self. Was it just his injury...

Started this one a little while ago, just wasn't sure if you wanted separate threads for individual fights?

Thanks. I'll use it. I forgot it was there as a full sport thread.
