Wait, the only chin check test for Golovkin is Kell Brook? Did the guy even watched Daniel Jacobs and David Lemeuix, which all of them hits just as hard if not harder than Golovkin?

He failed to discuss what may well prove to be the most important thing in the way this fight goes - the jab.

If GGG wins the battle of the jabs then it is going to be a very tough night for C because GGG will be able to set up his offense safely with C blinded or off balance.

But if C can slip GGG's jab with any reliability it becomes a very different fight. Much harder for GGG to set up his offense safely and hence much more vulnerable to C's counters.

the winner of this fight is the one who will control the fight by forcing his opponent to fight backward. I see GGG forcing Canelo to retreat.
