Does GGG win tonight by stoppage inside of 7 or beyond 7 rounds?

    I know Monroe will dance and move and stay away flicking his jab at GGG. I also know GGG is a master at cutting off the ring. So........ the question is, how long can Monroe last?

    I am leaning towards a 8th round stoppage for GGG.

    Thoughts?

    Sadly, if it isn't a stoppage within 6 to 8 rounds, then GGG hasn't fought very well.

    Anyone saying "Monroe is a threat" either seriously doubts GGG or seriously over-rates Monroe.

    This is ending as early as it was engineered to be and the "Oooohs", "Aaaaahs" and "Zomgssss" from down syndrome patients will be all over the site as they witness another cabbie getting the GGG treatment for dropping out of kindergarten.

    This entire event should be titled "Continue Your Education".

    I think Monroe will be on his bike and will try and be slick for the first half of the fight. But sooner or later, he will get hit with something good and the way he handles it will determine his fate, obviously. GGG finishes as well as anyone in the sport and once a slick boxer gets hurt, they tend to lose their legs and cannot dance and move any longer. Then it's dead man walking time.

    I think stoppage in rounds 7-9 makes most sense.

    Does anyone know what kind of chin Monroe has? :huh

    I got money on GGG winning a 12 round decision ( 7-1 )

    I'd like to hear your reasoning. Does Monroe have a great chin? Or do you think he can dance and move for 12 full rounds without being hurt?

    My first choice prediction is that GGG is gonna win inside 6 rounds..but there is no money to be made on that one .
    i,ve got about a 25 % winning chance
    Monroe is not going down easy

    I can see GGG wanting to box a bit with Monroe as he said he took the fight to face a different style. That leads me to believe it goes into the second half of the fight and ends at 8 or 9. I can see Monroe's corner stepping in.

    Golovkin already said he doesn't look for the knockout. He WANTS to fight 12 rounds because he wants to beat every style with his style.
