Comments Thread For: Canelo-Golovkin: 30 UK Fighters, Trainers, Experts - Predictions

[kushking]

people can pick whoever they want but to me it just appears they have short memories. trout outlanded canelo, lara won on many scorecards,mayweather put on a schooling, khan was outboxing him (i wouldnt mention that but apparantly brook exposed GGG by winnin a couple of round), but canelos now the one with all the skill and ggg is a crude face first puncher cause jacobs gave him like some problems . People are more impressed with someone beating a weight drained zombie (chavez) than a competitive win against a world champion (jacobs) who i doubt canelo would have beat. Predictions seem to have changed based purely on there last fights. People are going to get a big shock come saturday night and the bull**** they are going to come out with afterwards in order to save face will be amusing.

Jacobs has never been a world champion,just a jr vacant belt champion. And your truly a canelo hater if you claiming he lost those fights,Trout was doing funky chicken from nelos punches,was kd,& still didn't do anything to canelo despite open scoring & knowing he was rightfully losing,

Lara came into the fight w tons of confidence & came to fight til canelo ripped him to the body then he said no mas & ran his ass scared af back 2 Cuba,peeps saying he beat canelo are salty af,Canelo beat him more clearly than GGG beat Jacobs,& vs kahn he ko of the yr his ass.Mayweather INTENTIONALLY weight drained him (when canelo agreed 2 all his demands-ring size of 24 feet,gloves,etc.) 4 no reason but as he admitted to "force him to not train by draining him so he focuses on weight" & canelo still won at least 3-4 rds,funny how floydfans now act like he completly destroyed him & at his best when he looked like a zombie.

Theyre not really tricky at all. Theyre accurate most of the time. When one fighter -150, that means he is a pretty significant favorite.

People thought Garcia vs Broner was mispriced, turned out they were wrong.

The oddsmakers were right then and theyll be right for this fight.

They were wrong about Carson Jones and they were wrong about Roman Gonzalez.

They were wrong about Carson Jones and they were wrong about Roman Gonzalez.

Sometimes they are wrong. Usually they are right though.

Sometimes they are wrong. Usually they are right though.

True but we know a fight like this odds go out the window once the bell goes. 26 year old who's improved since his first loss vs 33/34 year old GGG shipping more punches than ever as he steps up his competition but still winning. Tough.

This fight should be evens either way IMO.

You hear that in sports all the time, and some times it is true and some times it isn't.

He couldn't land any leather . . . . he broke Brook's face and stopped him.

He knocked down Jacobs and his face was swollen.

If he didn't land any leather I'd hate to see what happens when he does.

the " destroyer " Golovkin..... struggled against Brook early, losing rounds, and getting lit up with combinations..... combinations that the fat red kid is MUCH better at throwing..... and the " destroyer " Golovkin, did not show up at all against Jacobs

just saying

you do hear that in sports all the time, and it is very rarely true

the success enjoyed early by Brook, and for the whole fight by Jacobs..... are due to Brook/Jacobs, not anything else

it is nonsense to suggest that GGG could not get up for Jacobs

Seems that the better trainers/fighters are leaning toward Canelo. I get the sense that fans see Golovkin, fighters tend to favor Alvarez here. Still close to 50/50 for me, but if I have to pick, Canelo by dec.

Not an Ingle fan but this is interesting; "... Golovkin couldn’t drop Kell. I think he’ll stand with Golovkin and have a scrap. Alvarez can take it as well as give it."

Brook had some success he also was seriously hurt in round one. IMO he got knocked down in round 3 and finished in 5. So he destroyed Brook as he should have.

I think he showed up vs. Jacobs. It was a good fight between two excellent MWs. I'm not one who tends to think Golovkin let Jacobs stay in the fight for ulterior motives. If he did he's going to have to prove it. He'll need to handle Canelo and then blow out Jacobs in a rematch. If he did that then I'd say yeah it becomes a lot more believable.

I do think with Canelo and this fight that Golovkin will be competely focused. There is no excuse, no ulterior motive that could be possibly used. He's got his "dream fight", time to lay it all out.

This guy went to Stanford . . . . LOL!

Thanks for acknowledging Stanford.

Most of the UK 'experts' are total casuals, seriously just watch any skysports show and listen to the commentary and pundits, it's been getting worse and worse to the point where its almost trolling.

Steve bounces reasoning for picking Canelo was the most peculiar. He said Canelo proved he can beat a bigger man with Chavez and Golovkin struggled vs Jacobs.
So he beat Chavez which means he can beat GGG?

Also kell brook saying he showed the blueprint to beating GGG. Only blueprint he showed was how to get his eye socket broken and quit in 5 rounds
