Canelo v GGG II - Predict a DRAW

[abracada]

Am I the only person who predicts another draw?

They are both very evenly matched;

1. Both have good chins. A KO isn’t happening. They landed their best shots on each other last time.

2. GGG aggressive, Canelo negates this by being a smart counter puncher. Equality in skills.

3. Canelo has the most scope to improve from the previous fight making it even closer.

4. They went 12 rounds and both know tactics, and also the power of their opponents punches, ring habits etc.

5. What will bring more money in Vegas than Canelo v GGG III?!

A draw is very possible. It's great for the betting places because almost nobody bets on a draw.

Yeah, that's an interesting math question that I'm too lazy to think about. A draw score is 6-6 (barring knockdowns), but of course there are many ways for the judges cards to arrive at that score.

Are there more ways to arrive at a 7-5 score (with each guy winning) than to arrive at 6-6? If so, then a draw is a narrower prediction.

unanimous draw (where all three judges score the fight as a tie), or a split draw (where a judge scores a winner of each fighter, as well as a judge scoring a draw

Odds are 22/1

Another draw would piss off the fans too much. If it is another close fight they will just give it to Canelo and be done with it

I'd say, for the judges to come back with a draw, Golovkin would have to win 9 rounds in the ring. I don't think he'll manage that.

nah.. cant see it being a draw again. even if it's close and should be a draw i think because of the first fight, they're not gonna score it as a draw again. now imagine if its actually a draw again lol, i dont think anyone would be interested in a 3rd fight anymore, at least not me.

yup. agreed with this one.

The least likely outcome in my opinion. A very unpopular conclusion to the last fight that I do not believe will be allowed to happen again. If it were me in charge, I would urge the judges to score it for one or the other, 114-114 not being an option.
