Gennady Gennadyevich Golovkin vs. Santos Saúl Álvarez Barragán II

Nobody is getting KTFO
I’m with you in this one bro
Canelo has a chin as does GGG
I think we saw the best ever Canelo in the first match so it’s going to be difficult for him to improve upon that excellent showing IMO.
GGG is now older and looks slower, I don’t buy into the he allows himself to get tagged BS, so he must improve his attack and ability to cut the ring off from the Young Lion.
This goes to the the final rounds and a single flash KD would not shock me in the championship rounds but no KO or TKO.

 

Can you add a choice for ROBBERY on the poll.

 

Did he ever beat a p4p fighter in his comeback? He was brutalized by Holyfield.

 

I’m just pointing out Big Boy was like 45 or 46 and had to go to court even be cleared to fight due to his age. He then put the smack down on a decent champ who had outboxed The Real Deal Holyfield for the title, still far from elite, who was almost half his age at the time.

Now back to Canelo and GGG II
GGG 115-113 AGAIN

 

This has been the general consensus, but I feel GGG is too special to even lose pre 40's

 

Nobody is smashing canelo, dude is LEGIT. I still whole heatedly believe GGG will be even better this time while canelo will be very similar..

Could be wide UD in a still highly competitive fight, one thing I feel is if there is somehow a stoppage, I believe it's the opposite with canelo catching GGG coming in hard and hurts him bad, then could pummel him to a ref stoppage.

Canelo quickness and timing could cause this huge upset, but money still big in GGG winning one way or the other. GGG stopping the prime Elite canelo would be the greatest win I know of for decades

Golovkin by KO 8

 

Well seeing that Oscar is still the promoter and most people felt it was a robbery... It would probably be the 2nd or 3rd most popular reply.

 

Yes me too,they’ve both had their feeling out stage in the first fight and imo I think both were quite happy to come away with the draw wether for financial reasons or just that theyed both been involved in highly technical fight(which some fail to understand).

For what’s it worth at the time without being swayed by any commentators I truly felt it was a draw as neither guy was decisive,only the day after when hearing various commentators and boxing media did I sort of change my tune about having Golovkin a few rounds up,first instincts are usually right though and so the draw was probably fair.

Don’t expect Canelo to suddenly stand and trade and nor should he but he will have to do more,no good going into round ten thinking he has to win the last three or get a knockout.

 

You're not gonna be able to predict the winner of the rematch with simple anecdotal thinking, "GGG doesn't throw to the body", "Canelo gasses quick", etc.
You've got to analyze the first fight, and in my opinion, this fight is based on Canelo's ability to trick Golovkin. Out of the all the signals Canelo has, (signals of when he is going to punch), Golovkin exploited 3, and Canelo only figured out 1 during the fight. The rematch depends on how many more signals Golovkin and Abel Sanchez have figured out and how many signals Canelo and his team know that Team GGG have figured out. If Team Canelo is only aware of the 3 signals from the first fight, it will be a tough time for them. Exact same gameplan from both sides, but a totally different execution.

 

History also says that an older Golovkin beat a younger p4p in their first one as agreed by anyone sane or non-dumb. It also shows a 35 year old Mayweather beat him, so Canelo has form for losing to older fighters.

 

True but Canelo was not in his prime for the FMJ fight
