    I just saw that Golovkin is a 1/25 betting favorite. That is ridiculous. He should be at least double that.

    Smart business move. Gennady expanding his brand to Canada. To the entire 7 boxing fans up there.

    Gennady making moves.

    Based on? He looked worse in the Canelo rematch than in the first match, but I still thought he won comfortably (in fact in terms of rounds, I gave him one more in the rematch despite looking worse overall)

    You're just speculating that he is shot enough to not deserve to be a wide favorite over a Steve Rolls?

    GGG didn’t start doing well until Canelo gassed in the 7th
    In the first half of the fight GGG looked slower than molasses compared to canelo.
    I expect him to start even slower this time. His lack of speed will be evident even against Rolls.

    Once a fighter starts slowing down it’s like a snowball effect. I expect by September it’s goung to be a wide canelo decision with a possible Vegas style stoppage

    Nope never seen him fight
    Per Rick Glaser (I follow him on FB) Rolls is a decent operator and he expects Rolls to give GGG a good fight

    Well instead of just taking Rick Glaser's word for it why don't you watch him fight, and then explain how Golovkin (even faded) shouldn't be a 1/25 or wider favorite over him..

    I watched a bit
    My only explanation is that the bookies see a faded GGG beating Rolls 25-1 vs 50-1. Nothing else really too it
