How Alvarez Neutralizes gennady's Jab

[GrandpaBernard]

I'm going with Canelo! Because I seen him demonstrate his skills vs far better competition compared to just fighting guys who are tailor made for him. Again GGG can be hit, he doesn't move his head much so hitting GGG will be a lot more easier than hitting Canelo based on their styles! Canelo does have enough Pop to do damage, not sure why people are thinking Canelo won' be able to hurt GGG

especially when he lands body shots.

Unlike a Floyd or Ali gennady doesn't have a titanium body--continuing on as if nothing happened after taking a good bodyshot.

people don't respect Canelo's defense at all, he is not a reckless fighter at all, the man has some BOXING SKILLS. I don't know if it is because he is Mexican if that is why people don't want to acknowledge the man BOXING SKILLS and only want to talk Power. He himself continues to say that he has more that just power which is true! As for neutralizing the Jab? Simple, MOVEMENT!







So we're going to just continue to pretend like Canelo don't have good Defense and can't be slick in the ring when he needs to be? Yeah OK he can't cut the ring off great blah blah blah but he does have some athleticism

canelo has awful movement hahahahahaha. he is very slow and lumbering and it took him 6 rounds to finally get into position to land one clean solid punch (which all was needed to ko the smaller glass chin khan).

before the 6th round canelo was missing wildly with right hands, left hooks etc. just like against floyd. canelo even struggled against a mover like lara. canelo likes to pretend he is some skillful fighter but he really is a glorified brawler who tries to impose his size against his smaller opponents.

[juandabomb]

same way Lemieux fight played out, that will happen versus diva alvarez. diva has no jab, ggg showed his jab can be lethal

[IronDanHamza]

Canelo has an awful jab.

Wait, what?

[BoliviaChiLEsp]

I don't see GGG using the jab like he did with Lemieux, he will make a lor more of pressure and he will try to catch canelo on the inside.

[Hype job]

So skill wise who's the superior fighter?

Close call I think.

You absolutely missed the point.

He was talking about head movement. No one but you imagines Alvarez as being some fleet footed mover.

in fact running the way you would against gennady is foolish. It gives him space for his power punches.

GGG will make a statement by KO'ing canelo. he knows he cannot win a decision because gbp always pays off the judges like they did in the trout, lara fight. even khan was losing according to the judges before the KO hahahahahahahahahahha.

Alvarez got the better defense.

What I like about gennady is how he'll do a slight angle variation on his punches to land em around high guards.

Sometimes, his left hook has an overhand motion to it. He'll make his right cross wider before impact to land cleanly.

Alverez can move his head pretty well, but his body stays in place due to his slow feet. GGG is superior at keeping his hands up and deflecting shots with the gloves. I would be more confident in Canelo if I knew he could get away from exchanging with GGG but seeing as GGG is quicker on his fight, I don't see how.

The main reason I pick GGG is because of Canelo's lack of inside game and lack of killer instinct. Canelo would need to bring it to GGG and impose his will. But so far he has only shown one gear and he sticks to that gear. He has no plan B, he fight's all his fights the same and seems incapable of switching it up. Even when it was obvious he couldn't outbox Floyd he still didn't impose his size and strength.

The biggest difference I see between GGG and Canelo is that Canelo treats boxing as a sport, GGG treats it as a fight. This fight will be fought one of two ways: In the center of the ring or with Canelo on the ropes looking to counter.

But I could be wrong and Canelo outboxes GGG to a decision or even knocks him out.

canelo's head movement is mediocre also. he gets hit easily (not hard to see). golovkin will have no problems tagging canelo all night.
