    Am I the only one who expects a clearer win by Golovkin for their next fight? I believe Golovkin was underprepared for the first fight because Canelo in his recent fights hadn't boxed at such a complex level. Against Golovkin, Canelo was able to thwart his initial gameplan in under 2 rounds, the rest had to be done on the fly. Golovkin came with the same gameplan he used vs Lemieux (fighting off of opponent's timing).
    Ex. Canelo leans on his left leg = Jab before he punches you
    Canelo leans on his right leg = Free to punch.
    Canelo baited Golovkin into counters in only the first 4 rounds.
    I think Golovkin could knock him out unless Canelo can keep using his many counters for more than 4 rounds.

    No you’re not the only one as Golovkin is the bookie favourite,I’m highly suspicious as Golovkin wants a third fight so it’s hard to know what to believe.

    GGG doesn’t want a 3rd fight. He wants to smash him in this fight, keep his 0 and keep chasing other big fights.

    Are you suggesting he wasn't being tested through VADA?

    If CleMbuteNelo will not feast on Mexican Cow balls, then GGG via late stoppage.

    It ain't that big a stretch. Golovkin has had no wars. He has taken very little damage. He doesn't seem to live the rockstar degenerate lifestyle in between fights. It's likely that his reflexes are slightly off from 6 years ago, but may be compensated for by 6 additional years of knowledge and experience at a higher level of opposition. He may actually be more dangerous at this point. He's 36 not 66. To call him old and way past his prime is ridiculous.

    I'm not confused. Clenelo ducked VADA testing in the past. When he finally enrolled, he was caught.

    I don't think you're confused either. You're just making excuses for your favorite fighter.
