    canelo has the most mental adjustment to make. if he is not mentally tough, he will resort to avoid fighting to see the final bell which will make a non-competitive fight.

    GGG via TKO in 11. Cannelo has good defense and is durable so he can last a while, which is fine with me. I hope the cheater gets what's coming to him.

    I hate to say it but I think Canelo this time wins a decision. I thought the first fight was very close, had Canelo winning by 1 round I think but after re-watching it scored it a draw.

    Canelo only needs to be a bit more active and he should win more convincingly. Not sure what else GGG can do to change how the fight goes, he mainly won rounds on work rate alone which would be negated by a more active Canelo.

    Razor close fight. I'm with close Canelo decision this time. Gennady is 36 ffs and he is against a prime PVP fighter. This should be the limit. Canelo, for the upcoming years sake, should win.
    I won't be able to feel like he will be relevant if canelo loses this.
    If you put a gun in my head Id predict a draw.

    Sadly, I have to go with a Canelo UD. Gave eight rounds of the last fight to Golovkin but Canelo will be better prepared this time and I think he can change things up more than GGG. Couple that with Golovkin's age, and I think it might be a relatively straightforward night for Canelo if he keeps on his toes. But I'll be praying for Golovkin to one-bomb him early on. If that happens, I'm going to stop watching boxing, it'll never get any better than that.

    Riding with Cownelo this time. GGG has been knocking out sparring partners with jabs. That's a horrible sign. Canelo may even stop him.

    I want GGG to win a more decisive fight however I have a bad feeling that Canelo uses more movement and throws more eye catching blows and gets a narrow win

    I feel the same way
    Would love for GGG to validate his first win with a glorious TKO but Big Red is too durable

    Seriously , I think Canelo will have improved his stamina problem, hence his svelte like shape of late. Will he lack some power(?) well lets be real his bulked up Clenbuttass power didn't really help him so I guess its going to be a stick & move affair peppered with some razzle dazzle combinations to help the judges feel better at the robbery x2

    GGG wins this one without question. Without his roids, Canelo belongs at Junior Middleweight. He may not have enough power to keep GGG off of him to dance around for 12 rounds. Canelo will probably wear brass knuckles under his wraps. For how arrogant Canelo & Oscar have been, the former deserves to get knocked out.

    GGG should pace himself for this one. Don't let Canelo steal early rounds and work that body. Tire him out and look for to get the stoppage in the middle to late rounds.

    I'm thinking Golovkin now. He hasn't fought in a year and also I think Canelo is too pissed at Golovkin for calling him out on his clen tests and is focused on the wrong things and it will affect his performance
