    What the hell is going on with the undercard?

    Where are the opponents? Surely boxers would do anything to get this kind of exposure??? Has to be down to greed

    Golovkin Vs Canelo is 8 weeks away not 5 weeks?

    I still like Golovkin in this fight.

    Yes, he's starting to get old and Canelo has improved.

    However, apart from the age factor I can't see what real advantages Canelo has.

    But, I agree, those are the things that worry me most. We've had a lot of smoke and mirrors recently.

    I like both fighters, but age aside, I think Golovkin is more fundamentally sound technique wise, with better footwork, more power and a better chin. If Canelo does have any advantage in hand speed it isn't by much and Golovkin is a better counter puncher.

    I still think this a competitive match up and a very good fight, but Golovkin surely has the edge.

    Yes he does and that is quite an advantage indeed, maybe the decisive one.

    Golovkin knows this of course. Although this fight may well go the distance I don't rule out Golovkin stopping Canelo. He's surely going to try.

    Strange things happen all the time in boxing. I just have a feeling that Oscar is going to rig it.

    Undercard looks pathetic so far, all of Canelo's recent "PPV" fights have been the same
