personally, and i hate to say it, i think Canelo is going to win legitimately this time. Hope with every fibre of my being that i'm wrong and i get to see Canelo sprawled across the canvas with GGG looking down at him, but i just feel Canelo is going to take this
he doesn't have to "magically" get better, he's good enough already, and GGG has been slipping for 2 years or so now
He’s gonna have to get better cause he definitely lost the first fight and I didn’t think it was close. I don’t care what those idiot judges thought.
the problem is GGG is a bigger man and Canelo who is the better fighter by far, is just not big enough.
I think Canelo will win too. Fact is I thought the first fight was close and Canelo looks leaner if he can just simply be a bit more active and clinch a little more to conserve energy he should be able to win a close decision. Golovkin struggled with a lot of what Canelo was doing, he couldn't hit the body in fact gave up on it and was being countered a lot and was even backed up at times. Golovkin simply out worked Canelo the last time and if Canelo is more active that won't work this time around. I have doubts that GGG can make the necessary adaptions to be more effective, he hasn't shown he can adapt or shown that he is a versatile fighter to date. I hope I'm wrong and Golovkin does something different but I suspect he'll just try and be more aggressive.
Thing is, people are seeing a decline in GGG's career now, he's lost a step in speed, Canelo for all the bull that's spoke about him is still a fantastic fighter and in his prime. As a GGG fan I want him to obviously win, but I think he might've slowed even more come rematch or lost a step further, and this gives Canelo a chance if he boxes right. This fight wouldn't of been made 3/4 yrs ago for the reason Canelo would've had no chance though imo
Canelo will continue to do the same he did in the last 3 rounds of the first fight, that means he will win.
I think he can box and brawl, and brawl educated too. He can keep it on the outside with a lovely jab and switch mid range to land hammers. Again(im annoying myself repeating it) his speed is diminished, he seems to push shots too. I actually think his gas tank empties and he forces/wills himself on at times, in the last few of his fights this is, I notice his punches are lacking power from years ago down to tiredness. He's getting on for his style(pressure), I think him standing off more is him conserving energy, not so much what's in front of him and worried what's coming back. All signs of an ageing fighter, so yes I think Canelo has a good chance
He only did that because the end was near. No way he fights that way the whole fight. Pay attention to how tired he was from rd 5 onwards. His coach constantly reminded him how it’s almost over, just a little more left. Unless he’s acquired a better gas tank, he won’t perform in any other way - fight in spurs in attempt to look good.
