Not real excited over this one…GGG past his prime and Canelo will beat him since youth and athleticism is on his side. Canelo in a UD. Plain and simple to see the outcome in this one.
Man scoobs, u got alot of thumbs down for saying the truth..I agree 100% with ya BUT GGG has his lil Die Hard Fan Club on here and NO ONE can ever talk about their boy like that lmao. Canelo KO’s him with body shots is what I see
Tony, thanks for replying. I like GGG, but I also have to come to terms that GGG is not the same GGG from years ago. Time catches all of us no matter who we are. Canelo is in the better position now for a win.
Ditto that. I will always back GGGno matter what, but this is a VERY steep hill to climb.
Funny how eager Canelo is to fight now that Golovkin is obviously done.
Last fight Gennady. Go on the Atkins’ diet since he did the same and go out blazing.
In the first ringcorner, we have Canelo who has been up in a title fight in light heavyweight with all that entails in tough preparations.
In the other ringcorner, we have a small middleweight who passed best before date maybe 5 – 6 years ago.
I am not sure what GGG and his team expect. A miracle will certainly not happen.
But it is certainly a safe way for Canelo and his team to regain market confidence in their adept. A spectacular KO victory may let the fight against Bivol fall into oblivion.
The first 2 fights came after GGG had already started to decline, this one is way too late.
Canelo will outweigh him by about 20 pounds too on fight night.
But I’d love to see Golovkin come out and put it on him in the first few rounds, it’s a long shot but his only chance.
Canelo is the favorite but don’t count GGG out.
Regardless of the outcome, what I know for sure is that I WONT be BUYING!! As a boxing fan and more importantly a consumer this is NOT the fight I want to see! Saving my dinero for Spence-Crawford!!
I like Golovkin. I think Canelo Going down in weight will have an effect and getting a one sided smashing from Bivol may also effect his mindset. I don’t think this is as uneven as people like to believe.
Bivol , after being ripped off in the pfp ratings…under Canelo..is ignored. He will school the Beiterbeiv/Smith winner. The First Smith fight was better and closer then Bivol/Canelo.
Perfect fight for both. Canelo has a relatively low-risk, huge reward fight to build off, and Golovkin gets one last huge payday. Canelo wins ten rounds, maybe scores a knockdown or two.
THERE’S AN OLD SAYING IN BOXING FOLLOW THE MONEY… IT’S NOT ONLY AGE THAT BEATS GGG BUT THE MONEY AS WELL… FUNNY THING IS AFTER ARTUR BETERBIEV WHIPPED JOE SMITH’S JR.S ASS DIMTRY BIVOL WILL HAVE ONE ONE THING ON HIS MIND AND THAT’S TO BECOME UNDISPUTED LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD… IF HE WINS THEN HE WOULD TURN HIS ATTENTION TO CANELO AGAIN BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE ONE OF THE BIGGEST BOXING EVENTS MONEY WISE… OTHER THAN SPENCE JR. AND CRAWFORD WHICH IS ANOTHER MEGA MONEY FIGHT IF THAT HAPPENS… THEN WE HAVE FURY AND HE WANTS THE MOON TO STEP IN THE RING AGAIN…
Too late.. I’m really not interested in this one.. Canelo should’ve fought GGG after he beat Cotto for the WBC belt but chose instead to trash the belt saying he wasn’t a MW and prefer to move down to bully wached up smaller guy’s. A few years after he was winning a light heavyweight belt against a washed up Kovalev..
GGG would’ve knock the clenbuterol out of Canelo if they had fought when Gennady was in his prime..
Well summarised Régis. Team Canelo played the timing, age, so well in their own favour against GGG. Probably learn from how Mayweather played them/Canelo when he was still too young, inexperienced.
