I 100% expect Canelo to be cautious in the fight and use his legs

Canelo will be cautious at first he will establish his jab and defend from G's then early on he will hit golovkin hard with a body shot combination to get his respect and game over canelo wins

Golovkin doesn't like body shots. Canelo likes to throw body punches.

lol, he's as flat-footed as they come. He hasn't got the legs to stop being cut off by GGG who has far better footwork. That would be a recipe for disaster. It would be playing right into GGG's hands because he would just trap him on the ropes.

Canelo's very best chance is just go in and do what he does best and see if it's enough. Try to keep it in the centre of the ring and use his good upper body movement, sharp counters and combinations.

I do think you need to use your legs v GGG though and that will be Canelo's downfall. He isn't good enough of a mover to make it effective.

Canelo is the biggest counter puncher GGG is facing. Canelo wins this by a nose bloody KO by Rd 10

Canelo throws his BEST combinations when pressed!!! This fight is going to be AWESOME
