Can Golovkin bring something new to the table for the third fight?

In all honesty no

Problem is that loading up on his shots will play into Canelo's hands because he really is good at countering.

What he can try that he hasn't tried before is to fight really close and smother Canelo.

Golovkin is good at fighting in the wheelhouse, but then, so is Canelo. Fighting close means that Canelo's upperbody defence will be negated to some degree, but on the other hand, Canelo is a good hooker and he's faster than GGG. So, pros and cons. One punch that they have both proven they are susceptible to is the uppercut, and if Golovkin wants to turn it into a battle of attrition then this will feature prominently. He's also going to have to go to the body if he tries to crowd Canelo.

I'm not really sure what GGG can do differently to get the KO, because he will need the KO with Canelo's judges.

Maybe forcing the issue and wrestling Canelo around will punch a hole through his leaky gas tank?

Solid breakdown
IMO Canelo has the most beautiful inside uppercuts in the game right now. I know both have iron chins but man some inside wars between the two will definitely have one on the canvas for a count
