So delighted to see GGG fighting someone else, it’s refreshing. Instead of waiting on a Canelo payday and refusing to fight anyone else with a pulse.

The idea that GGG was doing that was made up entirely. This is his second fight since he fought Canelo and it’s already against a top middleweight.

They match up well. I'm looking forward to this one......

GGG will jab him all night, and finish him off in the 10th.

So Canelo didn't want a trilogy AND dropped his belt that GGG is now fighting for?

That's a bad look I must say

This could be a good fight.

The fact that Canelo-GGG III isn't happening shows that DAZN didn't know what the fck they were doing when they gave these guys contracts. They paid a lot of money and don't appear to be able to have any control over who they fight. Fights like this won't cover the costs of their contracts.

But that's DAZN's problem. As a fan, I think this fight will be fun.

the fact that Canelo didn’t wanna fight GGG and somehow lost his belt in the process, which GGG is now fighting for, must be the biggest slap across the face of Canelo and his team.

But I love it lmao... it just makes this rivalry that much more personal and if a third fight ever comes about, more will be on stake.

But Canelo beat the guy that beat this guy. Both guys LOST and the winners fought. This is the losers bracket

[famicommander]

Hopefully the IBO sanctions this as well, simply so that they don't end up giving a title to some guy ranked in the mid-30s instead. I'd much rather see GGG get the IBF and IBO back.
