    My friend made a good point when watching the Jacobs combination sections. He said Golovkin strikes him as a guy who is either on the offensive or on the defensive, he doesn't seem to blend and integrate the two. It's either he's punching coming forward, or he's blocking and stepping back. And I think he's right. In his early performance there's more nuance and more "steps" to his setups, but I haven't seen him set up a counter or two-step move, from memory.

    GGG does prefer to pick his openings.

    I forgot I made this video a while ago too...A lot of things people are chalking up to age were already there imo, just hadn't been exploited by a quality opponent like Jacobs yet.

    About the same. Close fight. If it is close and goes the distance, the judges will slightly favor Canelo on the cards. Both have had trouble with boxers and Canelo is one more so than GGG.

    The video shows GGG jab as the weapon to win the fight, the question can Canelo neutralize it my head say not my heart say yes.

    I think like Cotto he can counter it sometimes but he won't totally eliminate it.

    One last bump. I am so hyped and not at all confident in my predictions.
