Media Golovkin calls Canelo a "Red Mouse" in interview

[GolovKing]

Does any athlete have better nicknames than Canelo, maybe Lebron?

I remember years ago during the buildup with Mayweather on one of the all access videos Canelo's mom admitted that other kids teased him in school calling him "Cheesehead". Not to mention all the other names fans came up with for Canelo

Ducknelo
Catchnelo
Pednelo
Clenelo
Bumnelo
Cucknelo....

It just goes on and on lol. I swear the names people come up with for this dude is the funniest shit

 

[Fuzzybabyducks]

Dang, brutal

 

[Sweater of AV]

Not sure how Canelo is going to recover from this. Also, Clenelo is still his best nickname.

10 - 8 Golovkin rd 1

How will the vegan recover?

 

[SuwoopBangin]

my personal favorite is Clenelo
just rolls off the tongue, like how Clenelo will roll GGG's punches before knocking him out in their next fight

 

[Nova44]

Might as well just cancel the fight and give the victory to GGG.

 

[defjaam]

That seems to be the ultimate insult among fighters. I remember Mirko Crocop calling Wanderlei Silva a small mouse.

0:55 into it -

Red mouse is going to knock Golovkin out, soooo

 

[BoxingMMA]

Imagine if GGG wins, what a deserved comeuppance for a man many consider undefeated.

 

[GolovKing]

Red mouse is going to knock Golovkin out, soooo

Golovkin is going to turn red mouse into dead mouse

 

[Stormtrooper85]

Red mouse is going to knock Golovkin out, soooo

I feel at this point in his life, being stopped (probably by body shots) would be better than just standing there for 12 rounds catching fire from this commie mouse.

canelo lost some of that luster .. he looks/sounds different in that press conference .. sounding 'fake tough' .. bivol knocked him down a peg or two

 

[PUO3]

Golovkin is going to turn red mouse into dead mouse

No. No he is not. This wont end well for GGG.

unfortunately, imagine is the only thing we can do.

i'll slaughter a goat as sacrifice to the boxing gods for a gennady victory, but it isn't happening. time is undefeated and golovkin is just too old now.

 

[PHATV]

No. No he is not. This wont end well for GGG.

Yeah, I think their trajectories intersected about the time of the first fight and Canelo continues to improve while GGG continues to age. I don't see this one going GGG's way.
I'd love to be surprised, but I do not expect him to even make it 12 rounds this time.

I mean GGG is very similar to Canelo. GGG got favorable judging versus Jacobs and Dervenchenko and avoided Ward, Andrade, Charlo, BJS, and Lara. He also avoided CW fight w/ Cotto.

GGG being undefeated fighting Szermetas of the world doesnt really move the needle

 

[bjl12]

Yeah, I think their trajectories intersected about the time of the first fight and Canelo continues to improve while GGG continues to age. I don't see this one going GGG's way.

GGG started really slow against Murata and that kind of start against Canelo could get him hurt.

Edit: that kind of start WILL get him hurt

 

[Tweak896]

Honestly scored their first match for GGG, but barely an edge. Obviously Canelo looked much better in their 2nd and I expect the 3rd to be even more so. People are making the Bivol loss bigger than it really is.
