What would be Golovkin's gameplan against Canelo?

His jab can keep Alvarez off his game all night and maneuver him back into corners and against the ropes. Alvarez doesn't have quick feet so it will be hard for him to get away from Golovkin. Golovkin has the skill and jab to push Alvarez around and force him into a very tough night. One key thing especially that Golovkin needs to do is throw to the body. He has dangerously neglected body work in the past couple years and he needs to fix that going into this fight. He can take this fight convincingly if he uses his jab to corner Alvarez and ends combinations to the body.

I agree with your post but canelo is a superior counter puncher. I think his counters are going to be really important. He had to make GGG think twice. Canelo has become a really good counter puncher and his hand speed has improved. But can he do it while ggg is jabbing him hard and landing hard straights and hooks?

Canelo is a very fast counter puncher especially at middleweight, he'll counter GGG's similar to Brook. He'll end up having to drag a dog fight out of it. Brook didn't really counter ggg, he pushed the action and pounced on him, which was the gameplan I hoped for...sadly he wasn't strong enough or brave enough to carry it in. I don't think canelo will fight like that.

Avoid the jab Avoid the jab Avoid the jab Avoid the jab

I don't think GGG is in over his head one bit. He will probably focus on the body and try to stop Canelo once he slows him down. I expect who ever establishes their jab first to have the better chance of winning as well.

GGG wants his legacy fight to be a WAR, toe to toe brutal mexican slugfest to give the Mexicans and Fans all around the world a real fight. GGG will test Canelos power and if he needs, he will march him down and goes full seek and destroy mode. I have a feeling that Canelo might be saved by his corner, Cheppo Reynoso might jump into the ring to save the golden goose or he might quit in his corner. Against Lemieux and Jacobs Golovkin has clearly demonstrated that he doesn't mind fighting cautiously if he perceives his opponent to be a threat. I very much doubt he employs the Brook gameplan against a big, sharp puncher like Canelo

If he can win the war of jabs that will be a big advantage, then he needs to do good work whenever Canelo is on the ropes while avoiding counters. Won't be easy but there's a clear gameplan

It's a pretty simple gameplan. GGG has the superior jab, he hsould use it. GGG has the superior power, he should use his power punches. GGG has the superior footwork, he should use that. He needs to avoid Canelo's looping hooks and uppercuts on the inside, he needs to be patient but still pressure Canelo. the question should be, what will Canelos plan be? Canelo is a very fast counter puncher especially at middleweight, he'll counter GGG's similar to Brook. He'll end up having to drag a dog fight out of it.

Believe Golovkin would train hard to box but plan to punch. Pressure, pressure, pressure. That is the game plan but training would be about technique and boxing technique. Yep pressure and dig the body, turn it into a violent fight. Canelo fights in spurts and takes time off. Make it a dogfight for as long as it lasts. Canelo's chin and defence is solid so he'll have to push him to extreme fatigue before going head hunting. He's gonna take a lot of leather so the big question is, does Canelo punch harder than Jacobs?

it's 50-50 fight canelo combination is outstanding

Both of these guys are far from being my favorite fighters to watch. But this time I feel like Golovkin bit off more that he can chew. Tried shoes that doesn't fit. Ended up in the wrong neighborhood. Got in the wrong cab with no driver. In other words he's ****ed up. Judges won't give him a decision in a close fight, that's for sure and he can't KO Canelo either - this mother****er has good chin and can recover fast So what would be better gameplan for Golovkin? Get cautious and defensive like he did against Lemieux and keep Canelo at the tip of his jab? Or turn it into a brawl like Brook's fight, hoping to break Canelo's will? The right thing to do is: being an ANIMAL and BODYWORK, BODYWORK, BODYWORK, BODYWORK. Is Canelo younger than Gennady? Well, then! ---> The right game plan is: being an animal and BODYWORK, BODYWORK, BODYWORK, BODYWORK.... being a BODYSNATCHER... being an ANIMAL! Once Canelo puts his hands down, Gennady will FINISH him. Listen to me, brother. Once you put your hands down you are very vulnerable to the left hooks coming from the right side. So what are you going to do with that? Switching stances? Like Jacobs? HELL... Jacobs is a good guy, he is a warrior, but... he was much heavier than Gennady, he was much fresher (because he missed the second-day weigh-in) and he was even BIGGER than Gennady... but (!) all Danny did was ---> surviving. Yes! Surviving! Danny knows it. It will be DISASTER. YES, Canelo has decent hand speed but nothing special... nothing, imo. Floyd showed it. Canelo's footwork is AWFUL. Gennady will end Canelo's career. Please, do not get me wrong. Canelo will continue fighting, but after THAT fight he will never be the same boxer that he used to be. PERIOD. Gennady will broke Canelo... not physically, but mentally. Mark my words, guys. No excuses then, ok? #GGGFamily #BIGDRAMASHOW #HBOBoxing #TRUMP The right game plan is PAIN. The right thing to do is BODYWORK. My prediction is: Gennady will win. KO/TKO,round8. Sincerely yours. FashionTV. PERIOD.

big drama show.

You beta all talking bull Willy krap Every fight GGG ever had he just attacks. He doesn't even move his head. He doesn't do defense. After all he's never really needed to because his punches absolutely kill people. Even if he doesn't get the ko usually the opponent is mentally toast by round 6/7 and he coasts to a decision I buy that he wasn't his best against Jacobs but I don't think this will be easy for Canelo. Just look at last night, he couldn't even make Julio flinch. Canelo is a Tactical fighter he's a points fighter. Golovkin will knock him spark out

The jab is GGG's advantage. He will try to keep Canelo at a distance and beat him down with a jab. Once Canelo is wilting , the old lion kills the young lion. Canelo has a good jab and great speed so it's possible Golovkin might not have such an easy night....BUT, Canelo will feel the damage whenever he finds himself on the ropes. Saul better hope that he lands a hellish counter punch or manages to make it to the end of the fight without looking too bad. Canelo has developed into an excellent fighter so anything is possible.

Get the jab going, cut the ring, take one to hit one risks since he has the more powerful shots. GGG should be ready to get hurt too if he wants to push and punish alvarez. The tougher guy will last unless alvarez has a game plan to outbox him and fight at the backfoot like jacobs did, which i doubt canelo can execute better. If canelo makes ggg respect his power in the early rounds, ggg might hesitate and would approach cautiously.

Canelo hasn't fought anyone even close to GGG's power. He absolutely can KO Canelo and I have no doubt he'll drop him at some point. Golovkin's plan should be to do what he does best - cut off the ring and force brawling. He is far heavier handed than Canelo so he has the advantage in exchanges. If he continually pressures Canelo and lands consistently he'll stop him before the final bell.
