I think GGG will have to stop him in order to win because of the judging and I think he will. Canelo is more scrutinized now and I think he won’t be as strong.

I think that GGG will win on my score card.

I am afraid that judges will see it the other way around.

I think that KO is quite unlikely.

What if GGG goes to the body early? Not doing that is maybe the only thing he did wrong in the first fight. That and fighting in Vegas of course :twisted:

I'm just hoping GGG goes for an all out attack more. Going to the body won't hurt, but I just hope he's more aggressive altogether. He seemed too tight the first time around, and he still should've won.

Very hard to bet agaisnt Canelo if looking at it objectively. He has the youth, the judges, if he plays defensive he’ll avoid a fight and be able to rack up points in close rounds with his flashy fast combos.

Golovkin of course I would love to win. He’s a true fighter in every sense of the word. Fan friendly and aggressive but there’s more to him than that.

Both a smart boxers, both have chins. Golovkin with the power, Canelo with the speed.

Just watched the weigh-in and I noticed that Canelo was the one who lost his cool. I think all the talk from GGG's camp about Canelo being a cheat and druggie maybe getting inside Canelo's head. If Canelo fights angry instead of strategically smart then I think it could create more openings for Golovkin. Either way, it will be a CLOSE fight, almost too close to call.

Canelo will do a little better... GGG a little worse.

The fight will be close enough that it could go either way. Hopefully people will tolerate the decision this time...

That face off at the end shows me GGG's camp must be getting inside Canelo's head by calling him drug cheat, etc. Alvarez really lost his cool there.

Great interview, really enjoyed it. Fairplay to teddy for not beating around the bush like so many analysts do and just straight out saying Canelo took peds.

Hopkins is a freak of nature. I always felt he was the type of guy who could of taken any fight on a days notice.
Perfect physical specimen

I am definitely concerned with Canelo training for speed and movement. He's full of ish saying he trained for the KO. He's obviously looking to maneuver and counter more this fight. It's going to be more difficult for Golovkin to land, but if he does land, I think Canelo will feel it more without that extra weight cushioning him.

I honestly don't know what this means for Canelo's stamina. Might be improved, might be the same. Canelo with better stamina is definitely dangerous. Uh, I don't know what to think anymore. Man, this is such a great rivalry.
