He's still got Bob Bennett, the NSAC ,Vegas boxing & officials behind him like before. They robbed GGG by gifting Clenelo a draw he didn't deserve who's to say they wont go one step further if he's still standing after 12 this time ? GGG has to KO Ginger
It’s all on GGG as most agree he won convincingly first time in one of his most unimpressive performances ever against a juiced up Canelo.
Spot on! This fight is not about Canelo, its more about finding out how good Gennady Golovkin is! How bad does he want it? When he corners Canelo, will he let him out like the first fight?
It is an interesting fight because I believe Canelo is the better fighter, but GGG is stronger and that helps him in this fight. If Canelo were a legit middleweight in size I would pick him to outbox or stop GGG easily enough. GGG has the size advantage as he did in the first fight which helps him take the counters and press the fight. I think Canelo has the speed, so it will be like the first fight maybe a little more excitement but again if GGG presses and Canelo counters it might turn into the same fight. GGG was not rushing in for a reason. He can blame Canelo all he wants, but he backed off himself. I think Canelo has to use his jab in this fight and focus on the jab and the body punching, and the head punches might come. GGG has to go to the body also. It is hard not to go with GGG because of his size advantage. I want to see GGG move up and fight bigger guys and see how he does with bigger guys throwing back at him. Good bigger guys, not these lesser guys GGG fought the last few years whom he walked through.
You have to ask why did he let him out. He never let other guys out. What was Canelo doing to make GGG not press it. Everyone blames Canelo, but as Hagler always said it takes two to tango.
The only thing he needs to focus on is conditioning to beat Golovkin clear and decisively . My guess is that he will be much more acclimated to MW this time around, and won't make the mistake of bulking. Canelo by clear UD, possible RTD.
