Some predictions :
Dan Rafael
Golovkin by decision
I picked GGG by decision in the first fight and he was robbed in that horrendous draw. No need to change picks. GGG, the superior fighter, by decision once again in another good fight.
Teddy Atlas
Alvarez by decision
Golovkin got robbed in the first fight but has aged one more year, and Alvarez learned that he can handle this level, and performance-enhancing drugs aside, this time Canelo knows what he needs to be: the smaller but faster, smarter guy who wins a decision over a step-slower Golovkin.
Steve Bunce
Golovkin by decision
I backed Canelo in a tight, tactical fight last year. This year, I expect the same tight, tactical fight, but I'm going with GGG. It will be controversial again
Martin Murray
Golovkin by decision
I thought Golovkin was unlucky not to get it the first time around, I thought he won by a few rounds. After the drugs thing with Canelo people might not look at him the same, but he's a multimillionaire so he's not bothered. I see Golovkin winning again, even if Canelo is on drugs again because I don't know whether that will make him any better.
Julio Cesar Chavez
Alvarez by decision
I must stay with Canelo because of his youth and because of his strength, but he will be in a very tough fight because Golovkin is still a very dangerous puncher.

Terence Crawford, WBO welterweight champion:
"Triple G [wins] if he goes to the body. If Canelo boxes him and stays off the ropes, Canelo may get the decision. But it's Triple G if he goes to the body.
Timothy Bradley Jr., former two-division champion: "I don't see anything different this second time around. I see the same thing and the same type of fight. I see the same type of fight from Canelo because that's all I have seen of Canelo. Is he is going to have to go train on the moon to get a bigger gas tank, I don't know. The jab of Gennady is what breaks the timing of Canelo. If he keeps landing that jab on the forehead [and] splits that guard, Canelo is going to have a hard time countering him. If Golovkin goes down to that body to wear him down, you can't sustain that high pace of fighting, especially with a guy who punches that hard and every time he hits you, he drains you. I'm picking Golovkin by decision."
Miguel Cotto, former four-division champion:
"I think that [Alvarez] wasted a lot of energy jumping around in the last part of the fight and he got tired. If he can find a better way to box, he can win the fight. Remember, you have to box with one foot in front of the other. You can't kill yourself out there. The best way to beat Golovkin is to be smart. I think Canelo has to make adjustments in the fight but I think Canelo wins the fight."
Robert Garcia, trainer and former junior lightweight champion:
"Canelo gassed out a little but he had a monster in front of him. I think in the rematch he will be more confident and will dominate in the rematch. After their first fight, the younger one should do better I think. Triple G is going out there looking for that one punch."
