CANELO vs GGG 3 prediction poll!

[Willy Wanker]

Canelo finally wins a clear decision.

GGG did look old and his punches looked slow in his last fight.
His stamina surprised me however and how he got better as the rounds progressed.

If Canelo comes in with the same 'gonna knock him out' strategy as against Bivol, throwing power after power shot, I think he will be in a lot of trouble if he can't stop GGG in the first half of the fight. GGG will look to up the pace and his output.

Even though he is 40, I favor him a bit if the fight goes this way. GGG is still a hard man and can dig deep, which is something I started to have doubts about with Canelo.
Canelo doesn't really have a pokerface which is kinda strange with his experience.
If he is tired or frustrated, everyone can see. When he is tired he seems to just go through the motions, doing the same thing.
You don't see him with unwavering belief, bite down, with body language that shows a real will to win when it gets hard and he is really tired (like old school Mexican fighters i.e.)

Anyway, everyone is expecting him to defeat a 40 year old, so he's got a lot more on the line than GGG....

Golovkin is 40. The judges will give it to Canelo because Golovkin will clearly lose.

If it goes 12, odds are it's still a very close fight. Styles make fights and all that, GGG's activity and jab are still very tough for Canelo who likes to fight in spurts.

Murata threw about 30 more punches per round than Canelo did vs GGG in their 2nd fight - over the first 5 rounds, before Murata slowed down. Canelo doesn't fight the same way as Derevy and Murata.

I'd say most likely scenario is a legitimate close fight, but Canelo winning a clear decision or even stopping GGG are probably the next two most likely scenarios.

If Canelo hurts GGG it will be through a well-timed shot, not accumulation like Sergei and Murata tried to do.

With how slow GGG started his last fight he will have difficulty this time to catch up. Canelo UD.

For Canelo sake I don't know where his head is at this time and that Bivol lost might have him distracted especially since he is saying that he won.

The first five rounds, comparing GGG-Canelo 2 to Murata-GGG, Murata threw about 30 more punches per round than Canelo. Just different types of fights - Canelo likely can't and likely won't fight that way.

Eh, more so to do with Golovkin shaking off ring rust. Not to mention Murata's output is significantly higher than Canelo's, especially now with Saul at higher weights. Alvarez can't throw at the pace that Murata did. We saw how exhausted he was in the later rounds against Bivol. If he doesn't get Golovkin out of there early, he can easily fade again. He also has to cut weight again, while Golovkin finally doesn't. Not saying Golovkin wins because the first rounds are already scored for Canelo but I think he can give 1 last great performance, win or lose.

Of course that guy already quoted you saying similar ****. Goddammit.

Vegan or Carne asada Canelo?

Would be interesting if 40 year old GGG hooked up with Memo

Golovkin by stoppage.

The first five rounds, comparing GGG-Canelo 2 to Murata-GGG, Murata threw about 30 more punches per round than Canelo. Just different types of fights - Canelo likely can't and likely won't fight that way.

You are right with Murata being more active and he came prepared to go to the body. Don't forget that he too was coming off a long layoff. Even though he throws more than Canelo he is not as accurate. But there are different styles so there is so much you can take for it as a guide for a Canelo fight.

One thing was that GGG can be hurt to the body but he did get better as the fight went on and his chin held up very well.

Canelo will win because Triple G can't knock Alvarez out.
