Gennady Golovkin vs Saul Alvarez

[Batman]

That would PK, who thinks they will both win.

Ha that did actually cross my mind, its a comforting thought to think that PK is still with us in spirit...I only wish that @GaMo was on the forum when PK was, I reckon they would have been good friends

No way. GaMo writes too many words in his post. PK was thick as shit. Totally different.

Opposites attract my friend, opposites attract.

PK didn't need to post essays to communicate, you was just too thick to understand his genius.

I predict Canelo gets pulled out around the 9th with Oscar, Hop and the boys all standing around him making shoulder/arm motions whilst shaking their heads with panged expressions on their boats.

Blame an injury, save face, move on.

Golovkin is winning this poll 15-2 at the moment

To a rematch.

There won't be a rematch unless Canelo cruises through the fight unscathed.

As long as Canelo isn't humiliated he'll be easily rebuilt like when he lost to Floyd (he's the biggest draw in boxing along with Joshua). Only Golovkin is the massive loser in this fight (should he lose).

I voted triple G by decision. Reason being, I've given it a lot of thought as I'm sure we all have and it keeps coming back to the fact that Golovkin has a great jab and Canelo struggles vs jabbers. Those 350 amateur fights gennady has will be valuable experience as well. I know Canelo has more pro fights but most against cab drivers early on in his career before he stepped up. His recent opposition has Benn ok, nothing great and now he's moving into the middleweight division and in his first fight goin against the biggest ko monster in middleweight history. It's a tall order......

i do give canelo a chance though because his hands are very quick and he negotiates 12 rounds well. I see Dave morretti is a judge so his backs covered if it goes 12. Canelos got a good chin too but I'm not sure this extra muscle he's put on will benefit him. He may be able to absorb punches better but he will gas sooner. Golovkin will be on his A game for this and won't be as hittable as he was vs kell brook because this is his big night to shine.

triple G on points unless there's some dodgy business with the scoring

Fuck. I thought I was going to be contrary by picking Golovkin to stop him late. I'm amazed only one person says Alvarez on points when that's a highly likely outcome. Golovkin needs to box in this fight. No wading in with his chin out any more, he needs to fight carefully but it's been a while since he fought like that. I'd still like to see him do it though. If he'd looked devastating against Jacobs this fight wouldn't be happening at all, it'd be a year or three down the line still.

Maybe GGG deliberately fought poorly so that Canelo and his team would take the fight. He would be a genius if he wins now.

That was me and yes, I am amazing

i even put money on this happening cus I knew the fix was in.
vegas judging is always BS. That woman judge?! Clearly paid off

[ykdadamaja]

GGG was missing most of those shots. Yiu guys gatta get it together. Sure, the Byrd scorecard was shit. But, GGG was chasing Canelo all night but landing 1 out of every 5 shots. Canelo was landing 1 out of every 3. Canelo was more effective, and better counter puncher. GGG fought hard, but pressure alone cannot win a fight- you have to score punches. GG did not do that effectively!
