    If fight is similar to the first 2 fights it's impossible to say. No-one is in agreement who won first 2 fights..
    I'll go with ggg, try be different

        Crazy how my mind works.

        Canelo should win. In his prime, coming off a motivating loss that has a ton of people doubting him, he has a ton of experience for 168, and the man has dug up every possible motivating factor he can to drum up his own motivation. He has talked himself into hating Golovkin and wanting to punish him for every disrespectful thing Trip G has done, real or imagined. I just cannot honestly justify picking against Alvarez in a wide decision since I do not think anyone from 154 to 168 can knock out Golovkin. It just feels like everything is in his favor.

        But.... why do I FEEL like Golovkin will win?

        I will roll with my gut. Golovkin connects with his devastating jabs early, gets Canelo a little hesitant, scores a flash knockdown in the mid rounds, and wins a split decision.

        I do not know why.

          Canelo will win 4 rounds and will probably get a desicion or a draw

            It will be competitive for first 5-6 rounds. After that canelo will cruise to the win.
            unfortunately by the last ggg fights, he is no longer that relentless fighter cutting ring 24/7 and pressing

              I'm curious if any one of them is interested in a fourth fight, in case it's another controversial one.

                I am expecting exactly that. Ref stoppage if GGG gets cut, otherwise (possibly wide) UD.

                  GGG by late stoppage.

                  Canelo has been getting A LOT slower, far lower work rate while GGG's is going up. I feel GGG is in better shape fitness wise than he was even before.

                  Canelo may come out strong in the first few rounds to try and take GGG down, but he will get frustrated by getting that 40 year old Jab in his face and start to break down mentally like he did vs Bivol.

                  UNLIKE Bivol however, GGG CAN close out a fight and would push Canelo, rather than being content with going to the score cards (Bivol).

                    I think GGG will try to frustrate Nelo with his stiff jabs and by attacking intelligently when there's an opening and not engaging too long for Nelo's counters... Question now if GGG can hold his footing when Nelo is on the offensive mode (I think GGG can...) ... Frustration (and empty gas tank) leads to Nelo's defeat...

                      I see the first half of the fight going back and forth, the middle rounds is where someone has to take the lead but eventually in the tenth round Alvarez catches Golovkin with a body shot and it’s all down hill for Golovkin. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Alvarez go down in the early rounds either, that’s when Golovkin is going to be the sharpest and quickest and if he sees that split second opportunity he’ll take it for sure. I see Alvarez just being too fast and sharp this time around
