How much will GGG's age play a factor?

[satiev1]

In his fight with Jacobs he looked like he was having considerable difficulty pulling the trigger. His jab wasnt as accurate and he looked slower than usual.

What are peoples thoughts on GGG's age and his possible decline in ability due to it?

He landed more jabs in the jacobs fight than almost any other fight. It was jab fest clinic.

not much. hes 35 not 45. with his style and lack of wars, he should still be at the top of his game.

Personally I don't think he's slowed down all that much. GGG is power pressure fighter not a huge mover and hasn't really been in wars like that. His style will carry him for a for more years before he begins to really slow down provided he's not in Provodnikov Bradley situations. Brook was just a great fighter with little power who he threw caution to the wind with and Jacobs was a good slick fighter with power and reach who he had to be cautious with. Besides Canelo is too muscular for his frame and will have stamina issues in later rounds which will negate his age advantage. That's why I give the early rounds to Canelo but say he will be ko'ed by 9 or 10.

GGG has certainly slowed in his last couple fights but his game was never based on speed and athleticism, it is based on sound technique, and that will carry him through.

In this fight Im going with Bradley's prediction. This will be the best version of Golovkin we've seen for a long time.

How much will Candelita's lack of any fight against a legit 160 pounder affect the fight? JCCJ was paid off not to fight back against the diva. That fight was solely meant to give both the fans and Candelita the impression that if she can win against a 168 pounder (at 164) then she should have no problems with GGG. Too bad having a career of fixed fights and smaller, faded opposition is in no way, shape or form going to prepare the diva for this Sat night. It won't take more than a round or two for the diva to realize this.

Ask this question again if he loses. lol

Just enjoy your victory on Sat night man. These dudes are in full troll mode right now but they know what's gonna happen on Sat night. GGG is going to look like a monster and Candelita is going to take some BRUTAL punishment before getting stopped.

As soon as he fights his 1st quality fighter all of the sudden he is old? Excuse after excuse after excuse. He was never as good as Jim & HBO make him out to be. They don't want them Jacobs problems no more or even mix it up with Jermall for that matter.

A golovkin fan speaking truth, I can respect that.
