Canelo's Pull-Counter VS GGG's Jab

[TonyGe]

That's Canelo's key to victory in a nutshell. He needs to neutralize GGG's jab and using pull and slip counters is one way in which he can do that.

But what makes GGG so great is that he has a diversified offensive attack and he's good at setting traps and is an extremely good counter puncher especially for a come forward fighter.

Look at how he disguises this uppercut versus Rubio




There is much more to GGG than power and chin. Learn the game fellas.

Your right he disguises the uppercut well and it lands hard. Canelo is going to be on the receiving end of some of those.

Canelo's pull counter uppercut is dangerous too

it doesnt mean ****. canelo will land some eye catching shots but hes up against someone far bigger and far stronger. And i'd say golovkin is more skillful too, can all laugh but watch canelo v mayweather, lara, trout and the first few rounds against khan. im not convinced hes this amazingly skillful fighter cause he looked good against shot weight drained chavez jr and beefy smith.

Right. But Golovkin fights NOTHING like Floyd, Lara, Trout, or Khan. Those are speed fighters who like to move. Golovkin is not fast - at all - and only moves forward/cuts off the ring.

Making any type of comparison between Canelo's performance in those fights and versus Gennady is ****** as shit because the fights won't look similar AT ALL.

If you want to know what Canelo will look like on fight night check his fights against Kirkland or Angulo. Obviously those guys aren't Gennady and Gennady brings more to the table, but Canelo is likely to fight more in that style than was the case for Floyd/Lara/Trout/or Khan.

What I see there is the opportunity for someone with faster hands and better accuracy to counter. He left himself wide open and almost got caught. If that was Canelo throwing the left hook Rubio did I have no doubt it would have landed.

it would've hit the crown and slid down the face. look at the angle of his head position.

styles make fights but against top fighters canelo hasnt looked so good. hes against a top top fighter this september and hes getting beat badly. if u arent tall, rangy and elusive and u are fighting golovkin, you are in a world of trouble.

I think key will be enough power from canelo to keep ggg decent, if Canlo has enough pop he'll get the decision, if ggg doen't feel the power, he'll run over canelo and probably stops him

The problem is golovkin moves back as he's throwing the jab making it impossible to counter. He'll throw the jab and take a step back while using a shoulder roll at the same time. Against lemeiux, he never stood squared up. He was at angle throwing the jab and moving. Chavez jr was squared up right in front of canelo.

His feet are much faster than you think. He's faster than canelo with movement. You don't win a silver medal being slow. Also golovkin is a much more skilled fighter than trout and lara.

I'm talking about STYLES. Golovkin can move quickly when he wants to, but he also HAS to be PLANTED to fight. He does not fight well (if at all) in motion. All of his power comes from fighting with planted feet. That's why he never really hurts anyone on his first punch upon approaching them. The first punch is designed to get them to stay still...then he plants and hurts.

Canelo also likes to fight planted so that will be interesting to see between the two of them

I hear you, but Canelo wins fights against top fighters. Gennady has fought two top fighters and one was a WW and he hasn't looked that good himself.

No matter how you chalk it up it's a good fight in September
