    I think they both brought the best fight they could bring imo. The thing is, who's most likely to replicate the same again, and I think GGG brings less next time down to age..It'll be more competitive and this time it goes to Canelo. GGG's speed is the problem, its noticeably worse than 2/3 years ago !

    He wont, he didn't the first fight blatantly for a reason. Hes up against a strong counterpuncher with a speed advantage that will hook him if he goes to his body..

    We all know what we will get from GGG. Excellent jab, footwork, cutting off the ring, wanting to exchange, good work rate. What we hope to get is more body work and less over hand right misses.
    Canelo needs to see how much fresher he was in the last two round than GGG was. He needs to lead at times and not rely so much on the counter to keep it fresh. Keep moving. Age is not on GGG's side. Capitalize on these and it's a W for Gingerbread Man.
    Head says Ginger, but I want GGG to win as he should of the first fight.

    We've already seen. You think G forgot to go the body ? He uncharacteristically didn't first time for a reason

    Golovkin.

    I don't think they can do the same on the cards this time, too much scrutiny and too many eyes watching.

    Canelo can't fight any differently from the first fight without putting himself in real danger, Canelo didn't want a fight and won't this time, it will be a very similar fight.

    Canelo should go to the ropes only when he sees that Golovkin is tired and breathing heavily. If he goes to the ropes when Golovkin still has energy, Golovkin could see it as an opportunity to land a big punch. But if Golovkin is fatigued, Canelo can go to the ropes. However I don't think Canelo should stay on the ropes for more than 10 seconds at a time. He just can't try to prove a point by going to the ropes like he did in the first fight. Like for example, in round 4 Canelo went to the ropes and he did it impressively, Golovkin did not land anything major, Canelo showed that he was able to pick off Golovkin's shots. But then in the 5th Canelo went to the ropes again and this time Golovkin managed to land a big right hand. Canelo should stay in the middle of the ring for the most of the fight, but maybe once or twice and spend 10-15 seconds on the ropes, but he just can't do it too much. Lets not forget that Canelo landed some of his best punches while on the ropes. (the big uppercuts in the 7th and 8th for example were when he was on the ropes)

    Yep
    Its called trying to hard to impress
    I expect GGG to systematically take him apart
    But you being able already seem to have the tactics in place
    Are you implying GGG is a one trick pony?

    Talking about this fight is so fun, I just can't wait for the rematch. I don't think we can say with any certainty what will happen. It could be similar, but there's a chance that both fighters will take more risks early, especially Golovkin. That could prove to be a problem for Golovkin because if Canelo fights his usual fight early and Golovkin takes more risks early, Golovkin could put himself in more danger from counter punches early. Canelo is more versatile of a fighter than Golovkin is, there could be more fireworks early in the rematch.

    Its Abel you idiot...G's my boy, but he cant get off quick enough to go the body without taking monster counters anymore. Shall we just pretend that he hasn't slowed up then??? 3 year ago, we wouldn't of needed the judges for this fight..GGG trying to hard to impress??? or knows the score and can read it as hes actually in there and knows what hes up against ! Your definitely barking up the wrong tree saying he is a one trick pony !

    Golovkin despite winning 9-3/8-4 showed his age that night and he's only declined since then. I think it will be a closer fight, 7-5 maybe, but they'll give Canelo the win this time.

    I think Golovkin will take the initiative.

    He knows if he boxes with Canelo he'll lose because whilst his jab was far superior, he couldn't match Canelo punch for punch which meant it was easy for the judges to score rounds against him.

    He knows he needs to push the action more, force exchanges and put the hurt on.

    I think the rematch will be a much better fight because Canelo is an excellent counter puncher and he's gonna crack G with some big shots and get cracked with some himself.

    I pick Golovkin win a UD with a couple of knockdowns.

    I need to know where this fight is being held, who the judges will be, and who will be the ref. If you think you can predict the outcome without knowing the answers to these three questions you are kidding yourself.
