Comments Thread For: Golovkin Opens as 4-1 Favorite To Beat Canelo

[LouIE G]

yea as usual bookmakers got it wrong in boxing

canelo khan was amazing odds for canelo even at 1/3 for win, 1/2 for ko win and 7/4 for the under 6 rounds- i told a few of my friends to bet on all these

and the ggg canelo odds are waaaaaay off

canelo has handspeed advantage and has better defence

close fight,

i edge it to ggg right now by a whisker because he probably has the stamina edge

This is an acceptable response Jas.

Canelo is gonna get his face torn apart. There's just NO way he can keep GGG off him. If he was being backed up by amir, forget it. GGG literally runs him over, the odds are right. Canelo just has upper body movement, zero footwork. Not gonna work well with GGG who cuts the ring off perfectly and is ****** strong along with having amazing precision & his amateur, Olympic and pro backgrounds. Easy work GGG otherwise , GoldenBoy would have made it easy to get the fight done. After Canelo, Oscar goes bankrupt.

That sad moment when the bet makers have more common sense than the majority of nsb posters.

Lololol Me too.

Putting some money on Ginger.

He aint getting knocked out, and the judges will rule the fight in his favor.

LOL, Khan was tagging him with solid rights like it was nothing. Cotto was tagging him with rights and left like it was nothing. "Lil G" will also be able to tag him like it is nothing. The difference is that Lil G's punches will have an effect on Candelita, a very negative effect. Cutting 20 pounds of water weight isn't going to do Candelita's stomach any favors either, so when Lil G lands that trademark left to the liver, expect Candelita to take a knee......best case scenario for him.

Canelo can only win if there is a re-hydration clause at 160...in that case, both fighters at fight night should not weigh above 160.

Of course Canelo has looked good in his last few fights. He's fought naturally smaller guys and then to add insult to the injury, he blows up overnight to gain an even larger competitive edge over them. The fact that he has fans that are OK with his antics are beyond me. Then he avoids a TRUE middleweight like the plague. If that ain't ***** move, I don't know what is.

I think Golovkin is the favorite but he's going have to KO or bloody Canelo's face. The judges will look for any reason to give Canelo the win or even a draw. If Canelo simply does better than any other fighter against Golovkin he might get the same BS decision as Bradley got against Pacquiao in their first fight.

I heard GGG is at LEAST 20feet tall and breathes fire out of his ASS! And can cut a man down just with one stare!!! Next time you should wipe your mouth off when GGG is done with you.

End of the day GGG has not fought one guy as a pro even remotely as good as Canelo. And fighting Taxi Driving Cab Drivers on House Arrest doesn't help.

Agreed. I just 'chin checked' a clown in my previous post because he thinks too highly of little g. Your avatar of little g knocking out bums says it all!!!

Little g has had no experience that will prepare him for the level he is getting ready to step up and face in Canelo. I can't wait for this fight to jump off and prove all of the naysayers wrong!

I agree, he'll realize really fast that getting punched by Weak Willie Monroe with 6 knockouts isn't the same as getting hit by Canelo. GGG has power but slow and if Canelo can get Khan's timing down as fast as Khan is I think he'll be countering GGG to death. Cant wait.

As he should, only the blind nuthuggers, blind haters, and people who DKSAB would favor Canelo, at any weight. GGG will put him down and it won't be much trouble at all. Canelo does nothing better than GGG. Not one thing.

I favor GGG but youth and better quality opponents are in Canelo's favor. I think GGG is a far better boxer with the power to grind down and KO Canelo. I don't see Canelo able to land enough to take a points decision if it goes the distance.
