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
