    I think he will win easier this time. He fought nervous the first couple rounds.

    Tough one.

    Canelo is the younger fighter, and GGG is fading.

    On the other hand, I don't think GGG will play around in the first couple rounds of a rematch as he did tonight.

    GGG should have little fear of Canelo's power after this fight, I would think.

    Overall, I favor Canelo. GGG is heading towards 36. He's old for a fighter with his style.

    Thank you for the input, totally agree with you on that and just think that in rematch GGG will work more effective strategy. But just wondering on your thoughts where Canelo could improve.

    Canelo landed the better more significant punches in the fight. He made G miss multiple times. G did OK, he was very determined, just not as skillful as Canelo. Canelo didn't fight very disciplined, he was ultra relaxed and just kinda did whatever he wanted to do in there. If he fights a more disciplined fight in the rematch, I don't see how G can hang with him. G is an ordinary fighter, but he's very determined in there and the judges reward consistent aggression like that. I think in the rematch Canelo should come at Triple G more, duck the jab and get inside. Canelo fought too much from the outside I thought, which didn't really suit him, but he still landed the better punches so I can't really fault his performance too much.

    A rematch would be another UD win for GGG. He would though need his own judges, ensure they are monitored and have the fight in Europe.

    The Americans cant be trusted to not pull another stunt. They even allowed him to have those whiskers, despite it never being allowed and GGG complaining.

    No one so far outjabbed GGG and that thing doesn't come out of nowhere, so I highly doubt that this is possible. In regards of the stamina I would agree, especially as the tactics he chose is energy consuming.
    So stamina is one thing and I wonder if he can really improve it.

    the second fight wont be as exciting. Now we know what will happen. GGG will be the aggressor and Canelo is the faster guy who will slip his punches and try to land in spurts.

    If canelo did what he wanted to do, it certainly wasn't to come after golovkin. Will he want to do that in the rematch. No, I don't think that will happen.

    GGG should just say F the rematch and try to unify against Saunders. Even if he did land a KO punch on Canelo, Fishnets would make sure the ref checked his glove before he started counting.

    There is no way in hell GGG will win the rematch. He won like 8 rounds now, and it was called a draw. Canelo will make it closer in a rematch. GGG can only beat this guy by KO, and that ain't happening. Canelo by controversial decision.

    lol, then he'd be accused of ducking Canelo. Besides Canelo's still the Lineal and Ring Magazine Middleweight Champ.

    He didn't win no 8 rounds. Canelo's counter punching was too impressive round after round for you to give G that many rounds for ineffective aggression. The only rounds that G truly won were the handful of rounds where Canelo didn't land anything majorly impressive. This is all very debatable of course.
