I think you might have misread, I said he's in slight decline and that Canelo is fighting him before he declines massively and that is used to take any merit away from Canelo if he wins

Basically a W for Canelo here is a massive statement where it might not be in a year or two if GGG starts to slow down

I think GGG stops Canelo in 7/8 for what it's worth

Sorry I re-read your comment now and I completely misread it.

No hassle! How long do you think Canelo will last in there with Golovkin?

Sweet Science · 01-09-2017 10:32am

I've now changed my mind and think GGG will stop him around round 8-10

I think Canelo has improved alot since his loss to Mayweather but I can't see it going past 9. I'd like to see Canelo come out and force the pace in the first couple of rounds to try to throw G off, all this while avoiding taking big damage.

I'm so looking forward to this fight though that I sort of want to just view it without bias.

I think everyone want's to see a shootout, Personally I'd love to see Canelo land big early on and then we can see if his power is all it's made out to be!

I was at the Jacobs fight and you see a lot more than the perspective you get on TV but Golovkins footwork and the way he corners off and pressurises fighters is unbelievable to see.

I can see Canelo struggling with the pace after 6/7 and one place you don't want to be against GGG is with your back to the ropes looking for a breather

This is the first time I am going to see GGG live I'm looking forward to getting that perspective. I think the pace GGG presses will be the issue for Canelo like you said. Thing is if Canelo is really injured will he be able to unload?

Haven't heard much about this injury other than it's supposedly his right hand, if it's true I'd be worried for Canelo his jab is not enough to deter GGG coming forward.

It's great to see him in action live only downside is Chocolatito getting robbed against Wangek on the Jacobs undercard so you won't get to see him as well

Can I ask where people were/are seeing Canelo is injured? Mr.Ed, look no further than next weekend. Ye lucky bastards by the way!

I read it on the boxing forum on reddit , no details all very sketchy.

Unfortunately I'm not getting to see this one in the flesh, slightly raging to be honest!

I've only seen a couple of people on youtube comment sections and twitter mentioning the injury definitely no 100% concrete evidence or anything

Cheers guys. All I want is for this to be controversy free. I don't mind a close, debatable decision.

The timing's really good on this now. I could see and agree with what GBP were doing it's just I'd been though 5 years of lying and marination. Plus the ''You can't fight Billy Bollox Saunders because it will interfere with our fight'' was silly. So I hope it's competitive enough for a rematch which will gain more attention/fans but I also kind want GGG to brutalize him.

I think it gets a decent PPV on it's merits.

I agree with you though too much crap on the lead up to this one, plus regardless of the numbers it's going to be significantly less than the social media storm around the Mayweather farce. It's such a pity that the boxing world cant drum up that type of circus for what should be one of the best fights in years.

Ya that's the thing. I don't know what tv in the US is like but if only people that have HBO are seeing this promotion then it's not enough. Same with ESPN. They should have these guys out and about promoting. Within reason of course.

Also, that's probably the main reason I was disappointed to see Wladimir retire. With him and his rematch with AJ went another injection of enthusiasm into the sport. It might have also finished off a great year for boxing...

I think Lomachenko v Rigondeaux is on tap for December....

I thought Loma v Rigo was already confirmed for December? I might be wrong now but I was sure I saw that somewhere

Bob says it's in the final stages. I'm not sure how to feel about that one. Rigo's giving up a lot of weight but on the other hand he's getting his big name at last. If you think Loma is a big name that is.

According to Wikipedia Canelo v Chavez did 1.2m buys which I would think to be pretty impressive. Hopefully they'll be able to do the same for this one too.

Canelo KO

This will or should beat the non fight that was Canelo/Chavez. Globally this fight is far superior..it's a global event..

I am backing close to 2 million...

Eddy Reynoso comes across as a cool character. It's the first time I've heard him speak for any real length of time.

Mr.Ed · 02-09-2017 12:50pm

Really builds the excitement for the fight!

Canelo reminds me of Wayne Rooney. Very similar look about them.

badabing106 · 02-09-2017 4:08pm

A shop worn Glovokin vs Canelo. Makes this more of a 50/50 contest now. GGG could suddenly get very old in this fight.

This one should be same as usual time wise. 5amish. It's kind of pity they didn't put Lemieux or Matthysse on the undercard. I can't name one fight on there off the top of my head although Diego de la Hoya is featuring. Regardless, there isn't a chance I'm setting an alarm for this one!

An honest post-match interview with James McClean there. I wouldn't expect anything else.
