Golovkin isn't the fighter he once was. No matter how you like a fighter to win because of being a fan. Age does matter and play a huge role in boxing or any contact sports. Clearly Canelo will be the favorite to win but hey, the odds of GGG is really tempting especially if you are a huge fan. However, for me one must not let emotions to decide in sports betting and just focus on who has a better chance of winning because we are after the money.
Probably true, but I think the same could be said for Canelo. I haven't been overly impressed with him in his last few fights, not just his losses. I know Canelo is treated like a god by some people, but he's very beatable at this stage in his career. A good fighter, don't get me wrong. One of the best, but beatable.
I don't like the reputation that's associated with him being this strong, and all mighty fighter that can't be beat. Obviously, people are more aware of it with his recent loss. The thing is, his last few fights he has shown he hasn't got the tactical advantage he once had, he used to target specific areas of a fighter, and basically weaken them enough. I don't see that as much any more, he basically approaches most fights fundamentally the same, instead of looking to adapt. I think this comes with winning a lot, you end up believing you don't need to adapt, because you're already the champion.
