Especially after promises that the Mexican man was going to stand and trade with the \u201cKazakh Thunder\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to his opponent, \u201cGGG\u201d came forward almost relentlessly and walked through Canelo\u2019s shots without so much as flinching\u2026<\/p>\n<p>In terms of boxing and the fans, the majority love to see this gritty kind of come forward style and so \u201cGGG\u201d was immediately painted as the good guy of the story.<\/p>\n<p>All because he was pressing the action and in the process, winning the affection of the fans in attendance.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the scandal with Canelo and his \u201ctainted meat\u201d, the red headed fighter has a bit of a dark cloud looming over him and he is definitely the villain in this upcoming scenario.<\/p>\n<p>However, a big win, a gritty performance and some more toe-to-toe action could see Canelo redeem himself and his reputation amongst the boxing fraternity.<\/p>\n<p>Due to Golovkin\u2019s personality and innocent charm (of being a nice guy who turns almost demonic when he gets in the ring), I doubt he will ever be seen as a villain.<\/p>\n<p>Especially as he always gives the fans an exciting fight!<\/p>\n<p>However, fans will now have an expectation of him to take it to Canelo as relentlessly as he did before, and hurt him in the process this time around.<\/p>\n<p>With the rematch only three weeks away, we\u2019ll surely see, hear and read a lot more about their second encounter. As well as the apparent disdain that these two now have for one another\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The big question leading up to this fight for me is, can Canelo put in a performance that paints him as a hero\/good guy once more in the eyes of the boxing community?<\/p>\n<p>Or will \u201cGGG\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>[si-contact-form form=&#8217;2&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[AdSense-A] By Tyler \u201cThe Miracle Man\u201d White In most stories there\u2019s a good guy versus a bad guy.
