Official Saul Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady GGG Golovkin prediction thread.

GGG TKO10 after a competitive fight.

 

Many people use imgur on their phone, I showed a friend of mine my articles and he binged them in 2 days. Went through most of his data for the month in a couple days.

 

I'm picking GGG in 10. I think he'll apply his usual methodical pressure, using his heavy jab and landing thudding shots to weaken Canelo and eventually stop him.

Canelo will have his moments, but GGG takes a good punch and eventually Canelo's shortcomings in movement, stamina will hurt him, as well as his modest power. Maybe Canelo will do an effective job of tying GGG up, because his slow feet and selective output can be very costly. Canelo is a good counterpuncher off the ropes, but that's dangerous to do against GGG.

I see the fights having similarities to Corrales-Freitas and Margarito-Cotto 1, in the sense that the one applying the pressure just breaks down the boxer, who has success but doesn't have the tools necessary to stop the incoming. And I don't think GGG will be down 5-1 after 6, like Chico and Plasterio arguably were before they turned the momentum.

 

i predict this fight being a bigger mismatch then mayweather vs mcgregor.

 

Good post - good points.
I see it as 'POSSIBLY' somewhat similar to an older fight:
Sanchez-Gomez.
Canelo is a fast active short stocky puncher - like Gomez.
GGG is an iron-chinned taller man and a bit of a monster at the weight - like Sanchez, and we know Salvador turned out to be too much for Wilfredo by far.

Of course Gomez was washed up as it turned out and Canelo is young and fresh so I see this as a lot more competitive.
But I'm inclined to go for the proven performer at 160 here.

 

A hearns hagler type of fight with Golovkin as hagler
