    Golovkin demonstrates he is the better boxer in rounds 1 & 2. Vicious jabs and right hands. Puts down Canelo with a body shot in round 3. Canelo manages to get up and then is dropped with a powerful left hook and is counted out for KO.

    Best story:
    Bell rings and Golovkin walks up and hits Canelo with a powerful right hand 5 second in. Canelo goes down and is counted out, wakes up next day in a bathtub in Mexico with his kidney missing.

    My expectation:
    Golovkin proves to be the better boxer, utilizes his jab effectively. Gets hit a few times but his blows are much more damaging. Works the body well and in round 10 as he is battering Canelo around the ring Canelo's corner stops the fight. 10th round TKO. Canelo's face is a swollen mess.

    LOL, green k sent just for the missing kidney!

      Has GGG been getting fat between fights?

      I need to see how he looks closer to the fight before I make a prediction. Leaning his way...but he's been looking like crap lately.

        GGG wins. In all honesty, judges and referees being unbiased should mean that he wins by either a comfortable decision or late stoppage.

        Canelo is too small, feet are stuck in cement and he gets hit too much and doesn't hit hard enough.

        Of course, Canelo has a chance if he can land enough flush counter shots and takes the fight to the bigger guy.

          Tom Loserffler said GGG weighed in at 170 today. No pics though because they're hiding GGG's fat like in all the promo pics.

            I just saw that. And no picture.

            I need to see Golovkin looking like old GGG before I predict a win for him.

              I'm picking GGG. I think his jab and superior footwork will be the difference. 8-4, 7-5 type of decision and depending on Canelo's stamina, I could see a late stoppage. Canelo will be very competitive, I just think he's outgunned on this one

                    Jab, stamina and work rate will be the keys to the victory in this fight. Whoever is the busier fighter will win this bout. No one is going to win this fight solely alone on just pure counter punching. Who ever get their punches off first and takes the lead will win.

                      A lot of people think this is going to be a war. I disagree, Canelo isn't ******. He knows he's the smaller man and needs to box in order to win. He's going to try to fight GGG like DLH fought Trinidad, he'll get hit more than Oscar did and will have to survive some awkward moments, but I think he can pull it off. Yeah he'll fight in spots and throw combinations here and there when he can but he's not going to just stand in front of him at all. That being said I see the rounds being very close and Canelo getting a close controversial decision. NSB will go nuclear for about a week and people will be outraged and I think there will probably be a rematch.
