That's some prediction given that Golovkin has never been stopped and Canelo doesn't have a great record of stopping folk anyway,good job on Liam Smith but really should of gotten Chavez outta there. Most think that GGG needs a KO or stoppage to win but I still fell he can get a decision so long as he does what he did to Rosado or Lemieux,hard to give the fight to someone who looks like that no ?
Ill go with canelo by decision. It will be close it will be competitive BUT IT WILL BE CLEAR. Oh did i mention robbery threads will still flood the front page regardless of the result..
What he has is a much better jab than Canelo, Canelo isn't fast or much of a mover at 160. Golovkin is bigger punches harder, has never been off his feet as a pro or amateur ,and is technically sound. I see Canelo standing right in front of Gennady for about a round and when he gets hit hard he'll start retreating, being he's not a mover he'll try and counter an end up in a firefight with one of the deadliest middleweight punchers in history. Could be like a Hagler Hearns fight though less competitive. Either that or Canelo might try to turn into Floyd M. and survive for a while.
Yep, like always in a fight like this, whoever wins some of the opponent's fans or the fighter's haters will claim robbery. Only difference is how much really believe the other side won to make it valid or not.
The scorecards in favor for Canelo are already in place, Canelo just has to survive for 12 rounds! Official scorecards by default Canelo -117-112 Canelo-117-112 Canelo-117-116
At the end of the day until we see the results its all a matter of opinion if you feel GGG wins more power to you how I see this matchup and have for a while. I agree GGG uses the jab more but as I pointed out faster boxers than GGG who predicate there game on working off the jab were held to career worse numbers like Lara,Khan, & Cotto my premise is if faster capable boxers had trouble landing a guy vastly a slower than those three will have major issues consisstantly landing. Boxing wise I see Alvarez as more skillful and has shown more dimensions to his game, GGG has advantages in power & foot movement Canelo is better defensively and more explosive offensively. As far as speed Alvarez legitimately has some of the fastest hands around his division, when compared to recent opponents Golovkin could very well end up looking slow like Chavez. I think this fight comes down to who has the better skills and who is more adaptable I feel Canelo has the edge in both area's, Sept can't get here fast enough might even buy tickets depending on where it takes place.
Maybe he won't land his jab often against Canelo, but the point is that Golovkin's jab even if it hits Canelo's arms is going to push Canelo back towards the ropes where GGG will do the real damage.
Canelo doesn't have the punching power to keep GGG off him. I see canelo taking a beating. Canelo was getting tagged by junior every time junior made any effort. He just retreats to the ropes and puts the earmuffs on with no head movement a recipe for disaster with ggg.
