  • This fight proves absolutely ridiculously nothing! This is nothing but a rip-off I’ve lost total respect for Canelo.

  • Canelo expressed no desires to face GGG for third time, until Hearn came with the two fights deal with Bivol and Golovkin. I don’t think Canelo is well motivated, but theoretically this fight is a good option for him, after being outclassed by Bivol. I think Canelo will win a clear decision in a not too exciting fight

    • I agree, Canelo has a real good chance of winning this time in a decisive manner. Canelo simply seeking redemption to boost his confidence after being battered up by the Russian Bivol. If GGG was Canelo’s age right now, I bet Canelo would have rematched a different opponent since GGG has slowed some. Canelo knows GGG is the lesser animal now than he was years ago.

    • Yes, that was Oscar’s old trick when he promoted fights with Canelo by waiting till the other opponents had deficits and a paycheck was waved in front of them to take the bait. Not real hard to figure out. That was simply a business tactic to secure a victory with a winning paycheck.

  • I’m not writing GGG completely off. He’s a proud guy and cares about his legacy. He’s always in shape. Obviously he’s not the same fighter he was 10 years ago but he hasn’t suffered much punishment and Canelo was just dominated in his last fight. You never know how that will affect someone psychologically. I’m expecting a competitive fight.

    • Very on point comment. It will be competitive for the reasons you mentioned, I suspect.

  • I know that GGG is underdog but I will still root for him.
    Hope he wins.

  • Great fight & looking forward to this 3rd bout…GGG by ko! Lesssgo Gennady!! Still Big Drama Show

  • Yo GGG didn’t look scared at all! He looks ready and willing actually.

    Yes I think Canelo “should” ko ggg…
    But Canelo is not exactly up on confidence. He got schooled by Bivol and now is going in there with a guy whom he knows is familiar with him and got the better of him in the first fight. Pressure busts pipes…

    Would love to see an old GGG knock out Canelo

    • Joe, yes, I think all of us would like to see the aging GGG pull off a great KO victory to shake up the boxing world. However, Canelo will be revved up for this one as he so much more to lose than GGG at this point. Canelo is younger, has more to time to fight, and is seeking to re-secure his ride on confidence train. Canelo knows the world is watching in this upcoming fight. I like both fighters, but I feel Canelo engine will have more horsepower when the bell rings.

  • So GGG has to go up to 168 now, hope somehow he is just stronger and better at this weight!

  • Alvarez is a punk prima Donna. You would think he would be humble after he got his ass whooped by Bivol, but cinnamon is really a classless prick. It’s why his own people don’t like him and he doesn’t fight their, nor live there anymore.

  • GGG will surprise all with a Brutal knockout!! The Nail in the the coffin of Canelo,s overrated career!!!!!
