    I think GGG can improve where Clenelo can’t. It’s that simple.

    He started slow and still won the fight easily on my card. Won’t be a slow start this time around.

    Canelo was supposed to get smashed in two rounds for the first fight, what happened?

    I see it the total opposite. Canelo outboxed GGG whenever they stood toe-to-toe, his only problem was the fact that he couldn't handle GGG's pressure for the full 12.

    The first part of the rematch will be about the same as the first fight except Canelo will be more confident knowing that he can outbox GGG and will convincingly outbox Gennady early. The rest of the fight is still a mystery. If Canelo improves his stamina he will win the fight outright if he didn't we might have a repeat of the original.

    He’s never been a volume puncher. He doesn’t have the volume to outbox GGG.

    Outboxing someone in short spurts doesn’t win rounds. You have to sustain it.

    He’s not winning this time around unless it’s another bogus call.

    Canelo already demonstrated that he's more skilled than Gennady and all he needs to do is find a consistent pace
    He doesn't need to outbox him for the whole 3 minutes of a round just for the majority of it(It's easier said that done vs GGG but the point stands)



    You seem to have already made up your mind so just skip the fight altogether and avoid any further heartaches.

    Voted on points for GGG. As it's been said Canelo doesn't have the volume to take 7 rounds from GGG. Unless it's a referee decision, I don't see Saul winning this on points. I don't think things got better on his stamina all that much. If Canelo were to win it's more likely he KOs GGG then win on points - robbery aside.

    I’ve watched enough of both to know Clenelo doesn’t match up well. He didn’t in the first fight, which is why the overwhelming majority had GGG winning.

    September can’t come soon enough.

    As a fan of Golovkin I have to say that Canelo getting smashed is wishful thinking

    Just has to make a conscious decision not take those middle rounds off,it’s as much mental with him as anything cause we’re he “gassed” he wouldn’t of been able to come out like he did in round ten,quite simply both need to go for it more in their own ways.

    Its called a second wind. He eased up on the gas in some of the middle rounds to ensure he closed hard, as he effectively did.

    Same pick as last time: Canelo SD, with the next most likely outcomes being Golovkin SD and a Draw.
