    Canelo isnt a fast starter and I think his pace relies on his opponents. Canelo really is a counter puncher and I think he will try to counter Golovkin. If Golovkin shows a lot of respect like vs Lemieux and Jacobs no. If he comes after him like Kell Brook we may get a war

    A lot hinges on well Alvarez takes Golovkins punch

    Canelo is gonna come out the way he always has, confident and aggressive. The reason being is that he is not scared of the fight. He has fought no one who he can even slightly compare with GGG. Oscar and his team has hyped him up to think that he is invincible and he believes that. I am not saying that he can't win but it won't be with plan A. If he can adjust and box and counter GGG then he has a chance. He has to outthink GGG not out muscle him.

    I think GGG is gonna come out like he did vs lemmy and Jacobs. canelo does got abit of power don't think its at lemy or Jacobs level though. but still respectable enough for GGG to keep it slow ffor a few rounds.

    Ring generalship and running are two different things, Mayweather,Marquez hell even rigonduex are ring generals. Lara ran more than he has in any fight ever, even at certain points the completely around booking it across the ring that's not boxing

    First 3 rounds will be cautious by both fighters... then they will start going at each other...

    Nobody imo has Lemieux level power at 160. If he can consistently land, your ****ed ! I think hes improved since GGG fight noticeably also

    are you that ignorant?
    If canelo came straight out and pressed lara from the opening bell you may have a case that he was in control but he didnt. He was arrogant and came out to try and outbox lara. He continued to try to box for 4 rounds. Lost them all. Canelo was then forced to press the fight or lose. Lara was in control from the opening bell to the close and he forced canelo to press the fight or be content on losing.
    That is ring generalship my friend.
    Ontop of that, clean punches landed.
    Defense
    effective aggression?
    If your idea of being effective is punching air, glove, and arms or being off balance all night.....i dont know what to tell you.
    I suggest you up your boxing iq before you come at me with that running bs.
    Let me know if you need another lesson in what really happened vs your version of what you heard and saw.
    Class dismissed!

    I just love it when people come at me about a subject they clearly know nothing about.
    Next thing you know, this idiot is gonna tell me how to ride a 15ft wave or how to bang an 18 year old cali 10 or that socialism really works.
    Nice try pal. My experience in those fields TRUMP yours!

    I can't see anything other than a GGG win. He only struggles against athletic boxers with good footwork. Canelo is extremely flat footed and has atrocious footwork. GGG gunna walk him down, get him up against them ropes and KO his ass.

    I don't think so. If GGG does not have a weak chin that could backfire really fast.

    First off Dude all my favorite fighters are guys who are boxers with skill with Mayweather being in my top 3 so don't come at me like I don't know what skillful boxing is, the simple fact is what Lara did was not that Lara had 2 strong rds to open the bout but after rd 3 his offense was nothing but flicking jabs. Being so far out of range from your opponent that you can't even hit them isn't creating distance that's actively trying to stay away the majority of Laras shots were jabs he threw while running backwards you cute punch stats Lara landed in total 9 more punches that's not a margin that says he was in control trying to play tag may win you amateur fights but not in the pros.
    You want facts the fact is Lara landed less punches then he ever had moved more than he ever had got cut got his body beat and loss a close match that was really only close because Lara refused to engage. I understand liking counter punchers and boxers but that wasn't boxing that was running and I never call guys runners but Lara fan his a$$ off vs Canelo

    please, canelo landed half those bodyshot and was a damn bobblehead doll. The only one looking amateurish if that even was canelo with his whiffs and being off balance all night. You act like punchstats are the tell all tale. Its a guy pressing a button. lara won the fight clear as day.
    facts are that you dont know what you are looking at. That is as clear as that fight was.
