Indians are too cool for that white ass shit

this mcChicken by name is Irish and because the crust is Golden it must be Irish!!!

[True That]

From my honest point of view and opinion:


This truly is a tough fight to say exactly what is going to happen.

Many different things and outcomes can happen.

I believe either guy can win and has a good shot. It's those intangibles and questions that are going to be answered that we don't really know about going into the fight.

I can see scenarios where Canelo cuts Triple G's face up and the fight getting stopped on cuts with Canelo up on the cards.

I can see Canelo focusing on Triple G's body to try to wear him down that way. The problem is Triple G is going to be throwing fire too. So while I think Canelo will get some shots to the body in, I don't think it will be enough to completely wear down Triple G because Canelo is not going to constantly stay there in front of him to take those shots from Triple G. And Triple G will be hitting Canelo to the body as well.

The only way I see a Canelo win by knockout is if it's due to cuts on Triple G's face or something of that nature. A win for Canelo is more likely by decision.

I can see Triple G eventually wearing Canelo out and getting a TKO win in the late rounds.

For Triple G to win by decision it is going to have to be quite clear and obvious that he won. By having a knockdown or knockdowns, staggering Canelo "OR" dominate at least 9 rounds or more.

The deck is stacked against Triple G when it comes to winning by a decision as we've seen in the past with Canelo scorecards against Trout, Mayweather, Lara and Cotto. Not saying the right guy didn't win, just saying scorecards were ridiculous for those fights.

Which may lead to another scenario where a lot of people may say that Triple G won but was robbed on the scorecards creating controversy and setting up a rematch.

Or we may get where Canelo in the views of many did win and deserved the decision.

Hopefully we can also get where Triple G seems like the winner after 12 by many and gets the decision if indeed he earned it and won in the eyes of many. This kind of thing seldom happens though.

It's because of these many scenarios, intangibles and questions that it is hard for me to predict an outcome on this fight.

How will Canelo fare against his first real Middleweight and that being the best Middleweight? How will Triple G deal with Canelo's hand speed and how much more power will Canelo have at Middleweight? Does Triple G have a chance to win a decision at all? Can Triple G deal with Canelo's skillset? Can Canelo last 12 rounds against Triple G and if he does, which is definitely a possibility in my opinion will the judges be fair, does Triple G have any chance at all winning a close decision if it looks like he was the clear winner in a close fight, they may even score a draw if it looks like Triple G won a lot of rounds. Hopefully it will not be a controversial ending and the right man wins and in the eyes of the fans, people, judges it is the rightful winner whether that be by decision or knockout.

My prediction is I have no prediction. This is a tough fight to call to say exactly what is going to happen.


Let's just hope for the best and may the best man win!

Lol! Just curious, did Jacobs beat GGG worse than Lara beat Canelo?

Nah, I had Danny up by two & Lara started off good then faded, I was rooting for Lara but I had nelo winning & I'm not a nelo fan.....

[j.razor]

Oh you are one of those "He didn't win because Jacobs wasn't on a stretcher afterwards".

No but you are one of the ones that say "it was the knockdown that won him the fight" but forgot about the WHOLE FIGHT.....

[angkag]

Alvarez dad, your theory his name comes from fathers correct?:

Actually, its Canelo's theory that he has an Irish link on his mother's side where the Barragan name comes from. Sounds like you need to take it up with him.

ps. I understand your point that red-hair isn't unique to Northern Europe, its just a lot more prevalent there. eg about 10% Irish, 6% Scottish, then reducing elsewhere. But the gene responsible has been found in many (most ?) populations, its just not so common. Sure he could be descended from the
Berber or Riffian populations of Morocco, or the Ashke****, or the Uyghurs, or the ancient Tocharians, all of which have well documented red-hair. But lets face it, its more likely Canelo's comes from the Irish.

I'm curious to know who would score Jacobs to win that fight and then Canelo?? Or GGG and Lara???

Those fight were almost identical.

Jacobs/Lara both played mouse while GGG/Canelo both played Cat.

Lara/Jacobs both couldn't hurt GGG/Canelo.

While GGG/Canelo both hurt them.

Lara/Jacobs both boxed and stayed away.

Honestly if you favored Lara you should of favored Jacobs if you favored GGG you should of favored Canelo...

I was rooting for Lara but I won't deny that nelo won. Jacobs beat lil g hands down.

it's actually quite normal for many people not understanding Anthropology. the classic, ''where are you from?''

You need to learn that ethnic groupies traveled all around Europe. The Spanish territory has its red heads too. The Irish themselves have black hair. Look at the Spanish phenotypes. They look ''Euro'' and ''Arabic'' and ''Mediterranean.''

If the theory is that Vikings travelled from north to south, one could say the vikings ****** both Spaniards and Irish, but that's incomplete because the Middle East, Asia, African, and The Americas also have red haired dating before the Vikings.

Just some knowledge for you to know about the red hair gene and the elementary view that it's exclusively ''Irish.''

[MDPopescu]

Wikipedia - have a look, its interesting. Canelo's full name is Santos Saul Alvarez Barragan, and Berrigan is a common anglicised name derived from the Gaelic O Beirgin or O Meirgin.

It lists a number of better known 'Irish Mexicans', and includes Canelo in the list.

Can also read up on the history of Los Son Patricos or Los Colorados.

I was banned here only once... for three days... I was banned for "racism", because I simply said "Ginger is Irish"...

I was rooting for Lara but I won't deny that nelo won. Jacobs beat lil g hands down.

you have never explained how jacobs beat ggg even in the face of overwhelming evidence that ggg landed far more punches. how do you score fights if its not about the punches? not only more but better punches. makes no sense. how do you twist your mind into such a pretzel? simply out of hate? ignorance? jacobs was going backwards therefore he wins? he didnt get ko'd therefore he wins? explain your card for once or stop posting bullsh-it.

[daggum]

also kenny bayless.....and the same old judges. this is in the bag for canelo. im very confident.
