  • Meanwhile, GGG works out at the House of Old Age in between taking naps. Still a big GGG fan, but don’t like this fight. GGG is 40 and all his recent fights he was fighting like an old fighter. Neither was he ever a 168 fighter. Alvarez easily goes up to even 175. Alvarez just wants a big ‘name’ opponent that will attract fans. Hoping GGG has one last really good fight in him and 168 somehow makes him stronger and there is a huge upset.

    • Yep, Canelo is a con artist just like Mayweather. He’ll have every possible advantage in this fight size, speed, youth, movement, judges. VERY hard to be a Canelo fan. I loved watching Bivol work his ass.

      • Berseker, Canelo is a really great boxer, he has a huge number of fights like earlier years boxers had, I really enjoy his style of taking the fight to the opponent. BUT there is that side all the time that he/his team also picks fights like this e.g. against an older slower GGG.

    • Henry, good points. Alvarez is really hungry for this opportunity coming off his last fight/loss. GGG is a great fighter, but yes, advancing age may catch him in the later rounds of the fight. Alvarez’s granite chin will allow him to stalk and counter effectively against GGG especially if GGG’s reflexes are slightly slower. Alvarez UD.

      • Scooby, probably the way the fight is going to go ‘ ( But being a GGG fan I am hoping somehow GGG looks good at least.

  • Im thinking Canelo found a home for his left hook in the second fight and will knock GGG out. And he no longer has the bone mass to take Canelo hard shots to the arms and torso.
    GGG throws a dangerous thudding left hook he’s able to land at the top center of his opponents heads. Canelo may get the win but Dont be surprised if Canelo is slurring words in a few years.

  • Canelo is super pissed, and he will win with a huge body shot (10th round) – the Canelo fans will ROAR in victory.

  • El especial del día:

    Carne asada al estilo abre pecho. *Beneficioso para los asmáticos.*

    Oops, sorry. I was working in an add for a local restaurant.
