    Which fighter will you be rooting for this coming Saturday?

    I like both fighters, so I just hope for a good fight with fair and honest officiating.

    Golovkin no doubt. Canelo ducked the fight, then demanded a catchweight, then vacated the belt, then got a gift draw, then failed for PEDs, then denied it, then got a controversial decision, then aged GGG out.

    Canelo fans are either Mexican (justified) or failures that live with their mom.

    I only root for hometown fighters or for certain reasons why I want to see a particular fighter to lose.

    Canelo is one of those particular fighters, so........WAR GGG!! KICK HIM IN THE NUTZ!!!:patadaenwevs:

    Looking forward to a Good Fair fight but
    Won’t be mad if either knocks the other out.

    in fact I’ll be disappointed if it doesn’t end in a KO.

    GGG is my favourite fighter but I will be betting money on Canelo this time so it will be bitter sweet either way…

    Obviously Golovkin ! He seems healthy, strong, and confident. I don't have faith in the judges of coarse. With fair judging, I think GGG can pull it off. GGG has the ability to ruin Canelo's world, i hope he does. It has to be a KO or clear win including knockdowns. Canelo is the one threatening GGG, to knock him out and end his career. We'll see if he can back it up.

    I hope Canelo puts GGG on a stretcher. I also like hope that a near 40-year-old man can give us a last hurrah and make this the fight of his life.

    GGG. The judges have been pretty unfair to him in both Canelo fights so it’s hard not to root for the guy to get his well deserved victory. He’s got the right power, style and confidence needed to walk Canelo down and score a KO.

    I hope that Canelo wins every round and the judges give it to Golovkin. I hope De La Hoya steps in the ring and raises GGG's hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.

    Has Fury decided who he's going to fight in December yet?
