who still thinks golovkin wins easy

[New England]

canelo is a hell of a lot better than he used to be, man. just look at his fights with mosley, etc. he's a really dedicated boxer and he's polished.

i do not think golovkin wins easily, even in his prime [which he has passed almost surely.]

canelo has the kryptonite for a guy who is not all that hard to it, combinations with power. styles make fights, and there's no way canelo gets totally blown away in this one.


if golovkin is going to win, which i still favor him to do, it's going to be because he was able to outjab canelo and get him off of his front foot. yes, canelo is a cautious fighter and not your typical mexican, but you can't fight golovkin backing up. he ends up putting shots together behidn the jab and breaking you down on the ropes. in time you'll either get beat up, or go to press on teh gas and have nothing left.


expect a two way, action fight that actually lives up to ppv billing. styles make fights.

a shot to the liver and Canelo goes down, Canelo goes down!

[LomaLovkin]

I got Golovkin winning easily.

Jabs gonna wear down and frustrate Canelo, Gennady setting up for a body ko in the late rounds.

[Buckfever]

I have to say that I do. I think this is a horrible match up for Canelo. I would be so impressed with Canelo if he doesn't get beaten to a pulp.

Canelo will look great early, land tons of shots but eventually will get worn down by jabs and hooks to the body and will get stopped late

If Golovkin can make him work all night then Golovkin should win. Canelo likes to take long, long rests. Without them I think he'll give up openings. But I just don't know how sharp or how fresh Golovkin is at this point. There are signs of decline.

[Dr Rumack]

That being said, I think you are weighing the Jacobs fight too heavily when it comes to evaluating GGG on the inside (I believe due to difficulty dealing with Jacob's size and cautious about his one punch power).

Good post, but on this point Martin Murray did it too. I think Jacob's strategy was in fact more or less the same as Murray's, but Danny is both a better boxer and athlete as well as hitting harder. Murray was stepping in and outlanding Golovkin in the pocket. Unfortunately for him he just didn't have the skill level to make his punches count, nor the sharpness to get away cleanly or tie Golovkin up after landing, nor the ability to maintain the distance until he was ready to work again.

While Golovkin was almost certainly more tentative against Jacobs out of respect for his power, I think even an ordinary fighter like Murray showed you can break his rhythm, step in and land before he will reset himself. In my view that's a huge opportunity for Canelo.

Last time i thought about it I was saying 5th rpund stoppage now I think its 10. -11 th

[Madison Boxing]

easy-ish. its going to be a rough few rounds to begin with but then ggg will bust him up. its a very nice style match up for GGG.

[EdWins]

If he wins it wont be easy, don't understand how anybody came to that conclusion.

This is a good scrap, a toss up. Both fighters are evenly matched 100%

Easy win. Take canelo to school. GGG will outbox the **** out of canelo from the outside with his jab and then people will call canelo a bum and ggg needs to fight charlo to prove himself.
