Golovkin-Canelo OFFICIAL!!!- Sept 16th

[Master]

Specifically thinking about when he's been hurt, walrus, like Master said he's a prime granite tank (he's only 19 in that vid above plus he was only briefly buzzed and it was the first round).

For sure he can be outboxed, I think Golovkin can outpoint/outbox him behind his terrific jab, but that's probably not good enough to get a win. Golovkin needs to iron this boy clean out.

I really hope we do not get any "dodgy" decision, if GGG is winning the fight comprehensively but can not stop Canelo, Triple G is experienced enough to not panic and win the rounds and get the rightful decision.

Canelo has a rematch clause so he has his back up so I hope the fight is fair.

Ya I hear what u r saying fen I just still have a resentment about the trout fight.actually trout did get to him but not wobbled so much. Canelo is a solid fighter I'm just too into triple G as I saw him fight in my home state

i want canelo to win just because of the way Golovkin says "you guys"

It's extremely camp. You should enjoy it. The fight is free out here, so all is good. Can't wait.

I think Canelo can be stopped. It has been brought up that he has faced punchers, but they were smaller fighters and had terrible defence. GGG is a proper middleweight who has been crushing MW's and in that regard Canelo is in for a rude awakening. A fight against Chavez Jnr has made a few eyes flutter, but Chavez Jnr is not a good fighter. He lost almost every round in his proper step up against Martinez. Golovkin is going to hurt Canelo and eventually I can see him not wanting any more. You cannot fight in spurts or have heavy feet against GGG.

Canelo can definitely be stopped, but so can Golovkin. No boxer, or human being, is unstoppable.

i agree that GGG has been crushing people for ages, and he will be the most concussive hitter that Canelo has ever faced. With over 350 amateur bouts, coming through the Kazakh boxing programme, he will also have very very good technique and a command of the basics.

Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if GGG discovers that Canelo is also the biggest hitter that he has faced. Every single fighter who has fought Golovkin over the past 5 years or so has been very wary of his firepower, but Canelo is a beast too, and I think he is a confident fighter,

GGG trusts his chin too much, IMO, so he is not that elusive and doesn't move his head much. A good counterpuncher will find the target. Walking through Brook is one thing, Canelo will be another.

Neither guy has a history of cuts or swelling, but maybe this will end up being a critical factor.

These are two very very good fighters, (not quite) meeting at their respective peaks.

ive just bought the fight 😃

I think David Lemieux hits harder than Canelo but as Alpha says when 2 good punchers get together it is more about who is able to take the other fighters punches better.

GGG has handled light heavyweights like Jacobs in the ring and has shown he can stay with big punchers.

Fascinating fight.

I think David Lemieux hits harder than Canelo

GGG has handled light heavyweights like Jacobs in the ring

Lemieux might have more raw power than Canelo (he might)
But Canelo has quicker hands, he's more accurate with his shots
And he puts the punches together better so he's more dangerous.

As far as I know Jacobs has been a lifelong middleweight?

Yes Jacobs has but he did not weigh in again as IBF rules state and rumour was he was light heavyweight when he was in the ring.

My guess is that rumour was made by GGG fans
Or maybe even the man himself (his camp anyway)
To explain why his knockout streak came to an end.
Truth is Jacobs was just a lot better than anyone he'd fought before.

It's no rumour, I'm pretty sure that Jacobs confirmed in an interview that it was always his plan to come in heavy.

Now whether it was light heavyweight or not is another thing but he definitely planned on coming in big.

[GaMo]

Most fighters put on weight after the weigh in
The fact is he's made 160 throughout his career
Therefore he's a middleweight.

Golovkin went from fighting European level fighters
To a world class fighter and he struggled
It had nothing to do with weight he just stepped up.

Jacobs was a monster during that fight and yet GGG still managed to knock him down in the 4th.

Imagine what he will do with Canelo?
