Golovkin v Canelo 2 CONFIRMED

[J_Undisputed]

Cotto's brother shook up Canelo the worst I've seen.

That just seems a one off which can happen to for fighters. Duran was put down by De Jesus twice but he had a granite chin. I think Canelo will not get stopped because he has a good chin and has the experience to survive if hurt.

I agree, I'm just saying that's the worst I've seen him hurt.

He never saw that shot... and never forgot it apparently.. (left hook out of crouch over the right hand he threw) that's why he doesn't stand his ground much anymore and trade and raised his guard since. He also changed his posture (keeps his head low-- instead of staying upright) to limit the angles on his opponents punches. GGG or anyone else for that could open him up more with footwork and sharper angles.

Good eye, I have noticed Canelo improving vastly over the years. Not everything at once, but each fight he improves.

Funny thing is if you watch the Chin video above, you'll notice that from the waist up he counts on rolling punches like mayweather too much defensively for a guy whos feet are cemented down. He like to plant his feet and root so he can sit on his punches and string his combos together. Especially off the front foot (a tell)-- so if you watch his front foot, whenever he puts his weight on it (locked forward in that rocking thing he does), he's getting ready to do some work (a good time to jab at the center of his chest if you're GGG to reset him and disrupt his balance) ... Clenelo knows he does this and sometimes tries to bait a guy into throwing a jab at his face that he can slip and counter by not committing to go as far forward... but anyway, I digress-- So in most of those clips where he gets caught -- the opponents start low (bend their knees, or start the punch low and go high-- [this gives a lot of fighters trouble-- and most would slip back out to a longer range and counter]... but watching that video its something that has persisted with him through fights and is still there and will probably be there tomorrow/ tonight. So a pretty safe bet for GGG is a hard jab to the center of the chest when the ginger rocks forward on that front foot... advance behind it , dip low, throw high (preferably with a left hook-- Clenelos spooked and waiting more on GGG's right hand.) then split the guard with the overhand right if he hasn't skipped town already.

I'm still of the opinion that the fight shouldn't be happening, I didn't want to have any interest in it but whilst everyone is saying that it is personal between the two of them I think it feels personal for the fans as well, its been a helluva long time since I have so badly wanted someone to get absolutely KTFO as much as Canelo.

I can't see it happening and I'm actually leaning towards a canelo win, its got me suckered in, its 7am and I'm watching videos of the fight on YouTube.

Come on GGG knock the ginger cunt the fuck out.

GGGs got a good jab, he needs to use it more in this fight. Once he's inside he needs to let his hands go.

OMG that really makes me want to see Canelo get ripped apart. I wonder how much Canelo will weigh tomorrow. Will he even let them announce it.

I can't find a running order?

@Alpha or anyone know what time the Choco-Fuentes fight starts? Is that part of HBO's PPV?

Billy Joe Saunders claims it is his ‘destiny’ to fight Gennady Golovkin after undefeated ‘great’ defeats Canelo Alvarez

The WBO middleweight champion is eyeing a unification bout against the undefeated Kazakh after he defeats Canelo on Saturday night

Billy Joe Saunders claims it is his ‘destiny’ to fight, and beat, Gennady Golovkin in the near future.

The reigning WBO middleweight champion will no doubt be watching GGG’s next contest extremely closely – the undefeated Kazakh will face Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez in their highly-anticipated rematch on Saturday night, which has already threatened to turn sour.

WBA and WBC title holder Golovkin will be aiming to avoid going to the judges again, after their fight last year was controversially awarded as a draw.

Saunders, who faces American Demetrius Andrade on October 20 in Boston live on talkSPORT, hopes Golovkin will come through the fight unscathed to set up a tantalising unification down the line.

“The one I want is Golovkin,” Saunders exclusively told the Daily Star. “I believe it is destiny, I believe he is going to win and I will come through then I will show the world what I really am.

“I know I have to be on my game for Andrade, that is not an easy fight and I can’t mess up.

“I would love to see Golovkin come through, me beat Andrade and then we get it on. That’s the end goal for me.

“It’s destiny, it’s meant to happen. I genuinely believe, no matter what people may say, I will beat one of the greats.

“When I was walking to the ring for my last fight with David Lemieux I was thinking ‘This isn’t Golovkin’ and I still boxed out of my skin.

“When I box someone like Golovkin I will have 36 minutes to become an absolute superstar, a household name.

“Nobody will take that away from me once that bell rings. I want that big fight to show what I am.

“I can’t look past Andrade, he’s in the way of that dream. Once I beat Golovkin, I can say I’ve done everything.”

Golovkin’s clash against Canelo was one of the most intriguing and controversial clashes of 2017.

After surviving an early flurry from the Mexican, the 36-year-old began to dominate proceedings. However, judge Adalaide Byrd somehow scored the fight 118-110 in Canelo’s favour – meaning the Kazakh won just two rounds.

In order to avoid such a conundrum, Billy Joe warned his potential opponent he must knock out Canelo to win their Las Vegas rematch.

He added: ““I think Golovkin needs to start fast. He’s naturally the bigger man and he needs to make his presence felt. He has to stick to him like glue.

“Canelo is not a good mover on his toes to get out of trouble. He has to punch himself out of trouble.
