Comments Thread For: Canelo: Without a Doubt - Golovkin is Getting Knocked Out!

That's what they'll be saying when Canelo defeats GGG.

"He was on his way out".

"Prime GGG who beat Rosado would've killed Canelo".

GGG is 35, Tszyu was 35.

I have a strong feeling that will be the narrative if Canelo wins.

This is the greatest fight of the summer.

I suspect it will be a lot closer than most imagine, and could go the distance.

Couldn't even drop Cotto or Chavez, both of whom have been stopped b4. No KO win over GGG.

LLL hasn't gone into survival mode in his career yet so a Canelo KO/TKO wouldn't be shocking since LLL is likely to keep coming and walking into shots.

JCC and Cotto, etc., went into survival mode where they threw less, moved more, and engaged less..it's how you get beat up...LESS and have "bragging rights" for not getting stopped.

You are right. From what I have read, Canelo is saying that the fight will end in a knockout. I don't think he has ever guaranteed that he will knock GGG out. But he expects to win, so we can conclude that he expects to knock GGG out.

I agree with you. I just found it interesting because it's the second article I notice like this.

To be fair GGG is on his way out....whether he wins or loses this fight he will not be in action much longer.

Age IS a relevant factor in this fight and it IS a reason to lean towards Canelo, he has the age advantage.

Canelo will loose badly, my friend.

There is nothing about GGG that would suggest he will get ko'd. Canelo will probably win a MD or a UD but I seriously doubt he stops Golovkin. He has a hell of a chin and Canelo isn't a monster puncher.

Marquez wasn't a monster puncher either

Canelo keeps talking knockout because he plans on outboxing Golovkin, which would be in my opinion a very bad strategy. Obviously no boxer in his right mind is going to give away his game plan by allowing his opponent to know and hear about it in advance.

His best bet against GGG is just to stand and trade and don't attempt to fight off the back foot, because Gennady is a master at cutting off the ring. If he moves he's going to get hurt. There only so many counters he can land while absorbing multiple punches himself in the process.

The trouble Alvarez is going to encounter while attempting to outbox GGG, is that Golovkin often leads forward with his jab. Gennady neutralizes Ginger's counters with his lead jab while fighting off the front foot.

I agree. Personally I feel Canelo can't out box Golovkin. He has to go for the KO. The best he can hope for is the judges give him an undeserved decision if he doesn't stop G. G winning a decision against Jacobs is a bigger achievement than decisioning Canelo.
