Part of the fight. I don't see any disrespect in that comment saying Canelo will end the career of Golovkin. Instead, that is more encouraging for GGG as he will try to prevent that and spoil Canelo's plan. If Canelo will not make it true, who will receive the backlash?

If the comment is about relating to family or outside the boxing already, that will be the disrespectful part like what happened when Caleb Plant throw that kind of statement to Canelo during their press conference on their fight.

The 1st fight was closed. https://www.boxingscene.com/canelo-vs-golovkin-compubox-punch-stats--120563

Although for me GGG wins that match, the stats is so close that ended up in a draw because of that controversial score given by Byrd.

That's why in this trilogy, GGG needs to dominate Canelo as much as possible in most rounds to clearly win the fight in case it will end in a Decision.

In an interview with DAZN Boxing Show, Bivol expressed his opinion about the upcoming fight Canelo vs GGG a little bit about a possible rematch with Canelo and also talked about a possible fight against Artur Beterbiev when asked by the host whether he is considering a fight with GGG, Bivol says that Golovkin is not on his list.

Nah, he cannot possibly be serious to take on a catchweight against Usyk because we already what would've likely happen to Canelo if both camps agreed into 190-200 lbs fight. It is already clear that he is struggling in LHW because of the added weight, how much if he will add more weight exceeding the LHW. Against Beterbiev? I don't think that Canelo can take that fight either.
I think that the best case scenario would be that Canelo will try and settle the score against Bivol even if the latter will be defeated in his upcoming fight against Zurdo.

We cannot really blame them if that's what they are thinking because they have also a point, given Golovkin's age, we cannot anymore set a high standard on him as he is not that anymore durable and hard to crack because of the wear and tear he experienced throughout his whole career.

On the support side, they sure support Golovkin and that includes me but if we are talking about betting then it's really hard to go against the current Canelo vs aging Golovkin. Don't get me wrong, I'm not making a big issue about his age here but that's the reality.

He is really unpredictable and it took them years to give him a chance for another re-match. if Canelo didn't lose in his last fight this won't gonna happen because they won't further risk his record and they will gonna look for another worthy opponent but as we can see, they using this fight to get him back on track and hoping that if he beat GGG his popularity will also increase and hin fight will be in-demand in the future but before he needs to beat GGG first prior 2 weeks from now. can't really wait to watch this fight live.

In my opinion, it's more about hyping the fight. It's normal with fighters who are promoting their upcoming fight

and Canelo makes a good branding now, he engages with GGG's fans and for sure many of those believers will buy

tickets or will subscribe to PPV just to watch how GGG will perform. They will hope that GGG will win against Canelo

and for sure, if that will be the scene, we might see another fight between them another money-making possibility.

But, the other side is, Canelo might be serious with his statement and will do his best to KO GGG to finally

end the doubt about him from winning the last fight and have the draw from their first fight.

They can talk whatever he wants but the real talking is in the ring. Well, Canelo won the last fight, but that doesn't mean that he would easily win this fight because GGG will surely work hard to at least win a fight before he announces his retirement, so since GGG is the underdog and I believe he is capable of winning, I'm betting on him here.

I felt that Canelo's words that he wants to end the great career of Golovkin are too disrespectful. Especially considering the fact that Canelo himself was beaten by Bivol and his career is also in question. Maybe this is just a statement to keep up the hype, but in my opinion the words were chosen incorrectly. Now if Golovkin wins, it's more likely that Canelo will be forced to retire, hehe.

Or maybe Canelo's fans is also betting on him that's why there are no change in the odds. Regardless, there could be some that already bet already on GGG because of the great odds and they don't want to missed it.

But what we wanted to see is just the judges here being fair at least to GGG. Canelo might gain respect more if he wins and it was he was deserving, not just a home cook judge who is going to vote for Canelo just because he is the cash cow.

I am not sure about which boxer enjoys a greater amount of support. I assume that within the United States (especially among the Hispanic population) Canelo enjoys a greater support. Among the global audience, Golovkin maybe ahead. The odds for Golovkin have remained the same for the last several months. This makes me wonder about his support level. Given how attractive the odds are, a lot of people would have placed a bet for him. But that is simply not happening. I guess fans are being held back due to concerns related to his age.

The boxing industry also knows that fact that Golovkin was robbed his win in their first encounter because the issue keeps on rising until now, I bet the judges now are being watched closely so that they would think twice in giving Canelo a favor and the people around the world won't be silent this time if there's an unfair judgment will happen in this trilogy.

People are rooting for GGG to win because of what happened in their last two encounters, they will accept defeat peacefully if it's really clear that GGG losses the fight but if it's the opposite then I guess there will be some trouble that Canelo can't avoid himself.

I really don't know if it would be appropriate for Canelo to look for a fight against Bivol again, because in view of the time that has passed I don't think he will have much chance with it, I think it would be something different and he could have a possible behavior that would return to win Bivol, the Russian wherever he is, wherever he is, Bivol knows that he has to go with everything and he will not let any title be taken away, besides Canelo is a boxer who has a lot of talent and presence, beating him makes him rise Whatever state of mind, for me Canelo has to train with much more effort, have the same fear as when he was a rookie to be able to do much more than with what he has now.


I only hope that this fight does not go to the technical part, but that both boxers come out explosive, that nothing is saved, besides this fight has been sought and requested for a long time, many things were done so that this fight give, now with all these speculations I don't want the fans to be biased by a single boxer, for now the most important thing is to see every detail of the boxers, the interviews, everything possible, I have also seen that many are going to support GGG , and that seems good to me, before this fight these boxers had encounters that did not go very well for them, however, despite that, this fight will take place.

First fight wasn't even close. Golovkin had a huge advantage and in most of the neutral scorecards, he won the fight. However the judges thought otherwise. And it was not just Adelaide Byrd (118-110 in favor of Canelo). Even the other two judges (Dave Moretti and Don Trella) also gave Canelo more rounds than what he won actually. Trella gave a score of 114-114, while Moretti scored the fight as 115-113 in favor of Golovkin. Most of the neutral observers had a score of 116-112 or 117-111 in favor of Golovkin.

If my memory served me right, Canelo wants the rematch right away against Bivol but his camp was advised by some professional analyst, groups, or something along those lines that it will be risky for Canelo to head straight to a rematch without doing some other fights first. Maybe as part of conditioning as Bivol is really a big deal and able to turn the heavy favorite Canelo into a punching bag.

But before that discussion, let's see first if Canelo can give GGG a hard time on this trilogy.

1st and 2nd fights are really close and this 3rd one should now show us who's the real winner between these two.

Light Heavyweight? definitely he is top together with Beterviev. So for sure, he can still makes fight and huge money and for sure Canelo might go with Bivol next even if he losses his fight. Again, as I have said, Canelo is not interested on all Mexican fight in Light Heavyweight. So it's either Bivol or Beteriviev. Or this might be something odd, but he says he can go as high as fighting Usyk at a catchweight, but we don't know if he is serious or not.

GGG has waited long enough for this fight and I reckon that he won't back down easily without trying hard to settle his score against Canelo Alvarez, if it wasn't for Canelo's contract, this trilogy wouldn't be possible. Fortunately, Canelo was left with no other choice because if he won't sign the said deal, then he won't get a chance to fight for a title fight in light-heavy.

Anyway, I'm quite sure that GGG prepared well for this fight because he knows that Canelo is also a good boxer and he knows the latter's weaknesses as they already fought twice.

Maybe after Canelo's fight, if he can beat GGG because if that will happen, the fans will hype his name again and it's good timing to fight Bivol. Well, in short, both fighters (Bivol and Canelo) have to beat their respective opponents so that rematch is going to be interesting.

Anything is possible, and Alvarez's camp knows how to play for the big money, in any case promoters can sell his ticket in whatever division he choose to fight, I like the idea or the possibilities of him losing in this upcoming trilogy then have another rematch to suck more money from the fans who loves them inside the ring, or he can also go up and challenge either Bivol or Beterbiev which is tougher, what we saw after his lost against Bivol but everything will be decide after the outcome of this fight against GGG.


We never know till we've heard the announcer announce the winner, but I believe that the idea of another rematch between Bivol and Canelo is still open. If the price is right for sure, both camps will negotiate and sign the contract.

What do you mean by saying "if Bivol looses, he wont be interesting" ? Bivol is top1 right now, if he looses, he will be top2-top3. Such competitors are always interesting. And it is always interesting to have a rematch with a an opponent, that has totally outclassed you. Canelo fans saw how Bivol has beaten Canelo. If Canelo skips a rematch, fans will be disappointed as minimum, and as maximum could say that Canelo is afraid of Bivol.
