NSB Pick 'em #27 - Saul Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin, Sep 16

[Don Pichardo]

I voted Canelo via close decision only because i suspect it will go to judges and being that Oscar is promoting it will go to his fighter. Oscar will assure it.

My gut says Golovkin by mid/late KO, but since I'm behind 50000 points, I'm going with DRAW.

Really interesting fight.

Ggg makes you expend energy by being in front of you so the opponent feels hes always facing danger

I think this will make nelo use his legs less to conserve energy as he starts to feel the pace and the more powerful puncher in ggg will stunt nelos offence , as canelo begins to fight careful instead of to win. I can go on and on about this fight but i would be repeating a lot of the stuff ive already said in past threads

I favour golovkin

i've never been impressed by ggg, this fight is going to look like ggg/brook except canelo is a bigger/stronger/more skilled kell brook so ggg won't be able to just walk straight through him. ggg is so slow when he sees canelo throwing in the pocket ggg going to do what he usually does, put up his guard and wait for him to finish. ggg can't fight in the pocket, stylistically this is a great fight for canelo as he only struggles with boxers who box on the back foot.

i hope ggg wins but i just don't see it, canelo ud maybe even late stoppage. ggg best shot is to wear canelo down with his relentless pressure and hope canelo punches himself out, its going to get ugly but its his only chance.
