    The trilogy fight was a strange fight and i would like to see more of GGG at 168lbs to see what he really has though. I expected much more explosiveness and malice on GGG'S punches in their third fight. That being said, even this much slower version of GGG actually pushed Canelo hard and kept him honest, Canelo was relieved when the fight was over and you can see it was by no means an easy fight for Canelo. Golovkin didnt take alot of chances and his punches were mostly short and concise. Canelo missed alot in that fight because of GGG'S illusiveness and when he did land clean the punches had no affect on him. If Golovkin held back because of Canelo's speed, explosiveness, and youth, then he may well feel much more comfortable against a guy that is sloppier and more hittable like Munguia. If thats the case GGG may let his hands go alot more and really unload on Munguia, who didnt really look too good his first time out at 168lbs. Munguia was sluggish as well and took a long time to warm up when he fought kill rain. If GGG is still GGG and goes for it, he can defeat Munguia, simular to his fight against Murata, only Golovkin will have better stamina at 168lbs. GGG wasn't even tired after the trilogy fight.
