Look for GGG to make adjustments and win easy or TKO Canelo

I want GGG to win , but there’s one , most important adjustment he can’t make . He can’t adjust his age . He’s old and past prime.

 

Lol let the excuses begin!

 

Lol GG hasn't been in a lot of war's or tough fights to be considered "old" age is just a number

 

He's been past prime for a lot longer than you think. By the time 2015 came around he was past prime. That's before he's even fought anybody really. Yet he's demolishing top tier middleweights with ease despite being an old man. Just imagine what the young, fast version of GGG would do. Canelo would be out pretty darn quickly, on the canvas, in agony.

 

Being more aggressive is the only adjustment he can make. That's it.

If Canelo can improve his endurance and work-rate he'll shut this guy out.

 

I don't agree that GGG should stay in the center of the ring. Kell Brook exposed Gennady's inability to fight inside when they were in the middle of the ring and so did Canelo, and thus GGG has to start from the get-go to physically bully Canelo.

 

Canelo's main success defensively came from sliding out to Golovkin's right. He needs to maybe include a feint and a shift to his right in anticipation of that, or throw a right low like he dropped Murray with - though this leaves him open for a crisp counter, which Canelo can delivery wonderfully. GGG was lees aprehensive to open up as the fight went on, so perhaps that'll show more in the second fight. Too often he threw that right cross and that was too easy for Canelo to avoid. Even that looping right he floored Jacobs with would have been more use here.

Obviously for GGG his jab is key. It's deadly accurate, has authority and it's a powerful shot in its own right. Throwing left hooks low after some jabs from distance would be a good move, I think.

As for Canelo, I guess it's more of the same. He worked really effectively but just not enough. His stamina isn't great anyway but the way he fights is very taxing. High energy burst counter attacks are always going to make it difficult to fight for the full 3 minutes of every round. He slips and counters to the body really, really well and against an older fighter that's absolutely an excellent tactic.

The film proves otherwise.

Golovkin was scared of trading with him , hence why he will need to be more aggressive in the rematch.

 

Canelo had poor stamina against lesser opposition at 155lbs. I doubt it's something he can improve.

Actually, are there any fighter that truly improved their stamina/endurance over the years (especially going up in weight ?)

 

Saunders, though he hasn't changed weight yet
