Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Concerned About Canelo's Speed Against Golovkin

[turnedup]

Bet Canelo to upset over hyped over raTED COMMIE ggg.
Canelo is the better fighter period. GGG was even with big ears Jacobs in their bout. Canelo will win.

I'll bet all of your 6100 some odd points, i'll give you 2 for 1 just to make it interesting.

This writer needs to do his research the IBF just said that they got rid of second day weigh ins for championship boutz.

But should GGG get poisoned pre-fight or hit by a truck, mugged, etc.

Canelo's speed is really the one advantage he has over Golovkin. Its a tough balance Canelo has in preparation for this fight. He needed to pack on the pounds a bit to withstand the punishment but having done so it will invariably slow him down. That diminished speed may not be enough to prevent him from landing shots but if Golovkin gets in a few of his own it will only serve to slow Canelo a bit more. All questions about both fighters will be answered on the 16th.

Can Canelo take away GGG jab?

GGG is going to be pumping that jab all night the same as he did against Lemeiux. If Canelo can't counter that jab then GGG will win. If Canelo can neutralize GGG jab then Canelo wins. I see GGG using the jab early and placing select shots and won't engage till later rounds. Canelo will attack the body and both will try to control range with Canelo wanting to get close and GGG keeping his distance because Canelo is clearly the better inside fighter.

I think Canelo is gearing up for war. I don't think he's gonna try to rely on a speed advantage. He's gonna try to go in there, stay in the pocket, slip punches, and send bombs the other way. It's obvious he's bulked up to be more durable, not faster.

Been saying it all along. Ggg is TOO SLOW! Canelos speed and boxing iq along with natural counter punching abilities will have canelo 2-3 steps ahead of ggg all night. To the point ggg will have to risk going for ko and may end up getting ko'd late...
