However, in saying that Canelo is a clever, stage managed fighter and knows how to pick his spots and the fight might well be similar to last time only GGG is that bit older. Fingers crossed for GGG and hopefully he hurts the body early and than lays it on hard up top.

I share the same feelings as you. I want Golovkin to win but I'm concerned he's a year older, further away from his prime and slowing down whilst Canelo seems to be getting better. Any close decisions seem to go Alvarez' way, ask Cotto, Lara and trout.

One bit of positivity to hold onto though are the pictures of both guys going into this fight. Canelo looks noticeably smaller whilst Golovkin looks noticeably more defined than last time. That bulk really helped Canelo get through 12 in the 1st fight I think. Now he no longer has the bulk and he's up against a stronger looking golovkin which doesn't bode well for him
