I have a feeling the whole world is going to get shocked. There are going to be 2 outcomes. Golovkin gets a KO in the later rounds or Canelo gets a KO by mid round. I have a feeling a KO is going to happen and I’m leaning more on Canelo for this fight. I think Canelo will perform better than he did in the Bivol fight because he’s at his more comfortable weight and I think he will learn from his loss.
Trevor, your theory makes sense to me. I also Canelo has the upper hand due to his youth and he’s on serious mission to refocus on his confidence since he had a recent loss. I like GGG and he’s game as a fighter. What I dont like is his advancing age. Yes, will be a good fight.
Oops, correction. I also think Canelo has the upper hand…
Scooby, I dare ask the question: Scoring controversies? It is a shame that scoring inaccuracies are imbedded in this sport.
Tex, I agree. Politics, favoritism, and bribes do in fact, plague this sport. No doubt. That is the wild card for fights.
agreed scoobs.. on every level u just mentioned.. I still dont understand why they are allowing GGG to fight for Undisputed SMW. Guess it is Politics and favoritism. We all know IF he can pull off this win, he will IMMEDIATELY retire or vacate the belts. If he really wanted a piece of them bigger boys at that weight, he would have moved up MUCH MUCH sooner rather than only moving up for a payday.
Tex, Lets look at this fight exactly how it should be looked at. Canelo is the 168 pound champion. For GGG to win, he needs to convincingly beat the champ. This has been widely said in the sport of boxing for the last few decades. Lets hope people adhere to this same principal even though its Canelo. Yes we know GGG WON that first fight and it was a robbery. The second fight, Canelo was the champ but GGG did not convincingly win. If GGG wants a true shot at beating the CHAMP, he knows what he has to do. and thats win convincingly.
Nah, it will go 12 and canelo will get the nod. Again.
It lost it’s luster. The 3rd fight should’ve happened 2 years ago.
I would have rather watched this fight a few years ago when Canelo could get to 160 lbs but I think this fight is a bit more interesting now that Canelo lost his last fight and didnt look that good. Maybe it was the 175 lbs, maybe he has lost interest, who knows. Canelo has a lot more to lose if he loses this fight.
One thing is for certain; GGG is not the smaller fighter, the older, yes, smaller, no. He fought hundreds of amateur fights at 165lbs and Canelo started his career at Welterweight and is still very short for a Supermiddleweight. Don’t get it twisted. Canelo’s youth should carry him through the day in this one, however.
DMV, I agree 100 Freaking %. GGG was never a small Middleweight. He’s always been a big 160 pounder, IMO giving him the edge on power. Just like Benavidez at 168 is a large 168 pounder. GGG could have easily moved up in weight at a younger age and literally conquered the 168 pound division. He would have been unified a long time ago but for some odd reason, he chose to stay at 160…
I saw GGG beat Canelo in their fights, now I.M.O GGG might be older, but he is in fantastic condition always,and he knows Canelo very well.Canelo was crying like a puppy after the loss in his last fight.Every excuse in the world he came up with, he losses to GGG and he might get K.O’d in this one.
GGG baby boxing god’s are going to balance the scales.
Boy they are trying really really hard to sell y’all this fight! At this point it should be either a Bivol rematch or a Benavidez fight! Point. Blank. Period.
Well they sold us smith, plant, Rocky fielding, Saunders, Kovalev, that Turkish guy and Bivol. Bivol won easy, can you honestly say any of the others are better than GGG?
Will 168 suite GGG better now that he is older, or would 160 still have been the better weight for him? If 168 slows him down or weighs him down the later rounds he will be in trouble.
Another Canelo fight nobody asked for. GGG and Canelo are saving each other from the tougher more intriguing matches they should have taken. None of the Canelo fans asked what has GGG done to get a Canelo fight. But, I’ll answer: he simply took menial matchups and waited.
Im sure this fight makes them feel happy and safe.
Canelo gets the KO beating on the old mans arms. But Canelo might take some life-altering shots to the top of his head in the process.
I can agree with that. Canelo fans didnt want another GGG fight.. He beat him already. yes, lost the first fight to GGG in everyones eyes but the second was super close. Scores were on point. We all wanna see Canelo vs Benavidez. he needs to let the LHW division go. He is NOT a LHW. and as for GGG, he needs to stop running from the Champs in his own weight. Plenty of guys willing to fight him like Charlo and Andrade. Not sure why he avoids those 2 guys like the plague.. but he does
If Charlo , Andrade & Benividez REALLY wanted to put pressure on , they should fight each other or a big name , even if it means a 50/50 purse to get that Canello payday !!
Got a feeling this will be a mix match
Noboby wants to see that shit again Canelo stop running from Benavides
If Canelo was to fight Benavidez, who wld GGG have left to fight? Another bum ass fighter as hebhas over the past 4 years? We know he wont face someone deservice like Charlo. Hes afraid to get beat
