hard one to pick, i think the judges will gift the decision to canelo but i cant really do these picks based on second guessing the judges, i though ggg won clearly first time round and i think its more of the same. People seem to think its canelo who has a second gear to go into but i dont think he does, his gas tank isnt going to improve and he was backpedalling for a reason. From what i see in rematches its usually the guy who finishes the fight better who does better in the rematch aswell.
I think we are gonna see a competitive fight but im expecting golovkin to push the pace earlier on and show him less respect than he did in the earlier rounds in the first fight. His activity SHOULD win him the fight, just like it did in most peoples eyes the first time. I dont think either fighter will be hurt bad at any point.

I havent heard of the other two fighters, dont even know what division that is so will go for the favourite.

Probably I'd be picking Orozco except Fresno is a TR card. Golovkin vs Canelo? I'm riding with the old warhorse, but with much less certainty than first time round.
