Topic: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 (September 17) - page 50. (Read 8973 times)

In my opinion, there is 0% chance of Golovkin knocking Canelo out of his senses. And there is only around 5% chance of the reverse scenario happening. It is definitely close to impossible, to KO either of these two. And we can expect the fight to last for full 12 rounds this time (similar to the case with the previous ones). So in all probability, the outcome will be decided on the basis of points. And as we have seen in the first two matches, in case it comes down to points, then Canelo will have a significant advantage over Golovkin (even without Adalaide Byrd).

It will be entertaining for us if the fight goes to the full 12 rounds. Back and forth rounds and then momentum shift in the fight. But if it ends on a sudden knock out and around 6 rounds or lower, well still a good fight but we wanted like a continuation of their first 2 fights. Round 25th and going on and trying to get each other heads off. And maybe if we are still not that satisfied, maybe a 4th fight is going to be push by both sides.

I don't see Canelo will be knocked out here but a chance of another loss is possible.

GGG will surely do his very best in this probably the last fight of his career. Canelo, even how strong his chin is, does have some other flaws too and GGG already knows where those spots are. GGG is the first one that put Canelo on his limit, as others are saying and even by some boxing analysts.

Should the fight is expected to be entertaining? They really should as this trilogy takes several years in the making.

First Canelo has iron chin, second, he wasn't hit that flush by GGG. So yeah, he can absorb power punches and because he is still in his prime he has the luxury of that. But just one punch will change it all. Who knows, when GGG with volume punching will have that effect on Canelo and when he is hit with a huge punch, might be the first time that we might see Canelo knock down or knock out in his career. But one thing for sure, this fight is going to be entertaining as no one wants to give each other the advantage.

The fight really has a lot of discussion, from the point of view of the bvoxeo that the best boxer seeks to have control and the other point of view (which for me damages everything) is when they go to the technical aspect and let the fighters enter the fight. judges, trusting the judgment of a judge in boxing is currently something that has to be considered, because even in the Olympics it was shamelessly seen how the judges made a boxer who was from home win and practically took out the best, damaging the future of the boxer and going over the preparation of years, this is a lack of respect, now, with these fights it is much easier for them to intervene to bias.

Lol! Right. Because people would really take a bet on huge underdogs if they have no doubt of an upset about to happen.

So do you guys think this fight goes the distance? Because I am still unconvinced that this old version of GGG will not survive a 12 round war with Canelo. Unless Canelo will box safely.

You guys mentioned GGG piling points over Canelo. I really agree to this. GGG although a KO artist is technical and is armed with a lethal jab. 

This is interesting. I figured out that these eastern Europeans (heavy handed or light handed) are technically sound. GGG, Beterbiev and Kovalev are heavy handed, but their aggression are very well calculated. They're not like Iron Mike or those Mexican heavy brawlers. They utilized their footwork and set up power punches with their jabs. Their skills and power helped prolong their boxing careers at high level despite their age.

- Bivol was 6-0-6 before fighting for the interim WBA belt. Maybe he's got good power but prefers to box technically. So his knockouts diminished over time as he felt not obliged to go for it and at the same time his opponents are becoming more difficult at championship level. He did mentioned in an interview that he loves to fight smart.
- Usyk was 9-0-9 before he fought for the WBO belt. Just as everybody thought that he is a KO artist. He is naturally a gifted technician. 
- GGG was 36 years old when he lost a controversial decision to Canelo.
- Kovalev was 36 when he lost to Canelo. At first, I really thought Kova was paid to lose as I can see a lot of moments where he should've unleashed his deadly hooks. He later revealed that he was not 100% during the fight. 2 months prior to the fight, Kova fought 11 tough grueling rounds against then undefeated KO artist Anthony Yarde. Kova said, he simply cannot refused Canelo's once in a lifetime multi-million offer. Normally after his fight with Yarde, Kovalev needs a month or 2 to heal his body and then another 2 to 3 months to train for Canelo. IMO, a prime Kovalev would easily jab Canelo to death.     

Hope what we expect between these two fighters will be the one that fans will see once they are already inside the ring. GGG is known as

a heavy and solid puncher and so with Canelo, the only thing here or the advantage is how these two will take those solid conversions

and how they can absorb to stay standing, I'm looking to see how both will prove that they are the real winner and how eager they

want to prove it during this fight. Toe-to-toe and more solid combinations that will excite fans for sure.

Though GGG is a KO artist but Canelo wouldn't get KO'ed by GGG because Bivol is a KO artist too and has higher power than GGG, but Canelo already proving he can survive for 12 rounds against Bivol. Canelo is the best boxer which have head movement to take less punches, while GGG have an iron chin. If it goes toe to toe, the judges will see GGG is bad than Canelo since he took more damages.

If GGG will got KO'ed by Canelo, then it's end of his career and he might retire after this.

I agree with that, GGG is not fast, he only has the power but Canelo can absorb is power that's they can go toe to toe until the end of 12 rounds. This trilogy should be an entertaining fight, no one would run here as they are both ready to trade punches.

GGG on gaining points? That's not possible, because GGG is a KO artist and Canelo boxed better than GGG, so when if we talk about points, the advantage will be on GGG. Honestly, I love to see an all out war in this fight, both fighters should go for a KO as this could be their last fight against each other.

Oh really? Did make a bet ? Because Bivol was a huge underdogs with +350 odd. A lot of people did not believe in Bivol and though that the fight will be similar to Canelo vs Kovalev. Also on the paper, Canelo was much better than Bivol. Bivol was not even rank1 in his weight class and Artur Beterbiev looked much more dangerous (some people say that that was one of reason Canelo has chosen Bivol instead of Beterbiev). If Canelo would work more to get a KO, and GGG on gaining points, then we would see another close to draw fight that Canelo would win again thanks to judges.

I don't really have doubts that Bivol could beat up Canelo basing on stats and paper but beaten up by ggg on trilogy then  I could see the possibility that ggg might get this one and possibly have a good fight or win before he retires.We are fast approaching on the said date which should be enough for both fighters to have ample time on preparation for closing this rival on this trilogy.

Yeah and that's how thing goes for underdog who won and their opponent wants a rematch. But we will have to see how this fight goes first. In seems that Canelo is overlooking GGG here, although he has all the reasons since he already beat him and he is getting older. But GGG has still a lot of fire and motivation inside of him to beat GGG so it won't be an easy fight for Canelo in the trilogy.

And that certainly gives him edge against Canelo Alvarez who recently suffered loss from the LHW champion Dmitrii Bivol, Benavidez has a pretty rap sheet and bigger KO rate than Canelo. But, wee don't know for sure as we're still giving some early speculation about Canelo's 3rd fight this year, that said, they're still on the 2nd phase now which is fighting GGG for the 3rd time.

when a boxing match rematches then this makes a lot of people disappointed and it's not very interesting anymore because the result will still be the same but after all bivol gives an opportunity for canelo to try to rematch whether the result is different or the same no one knows. it is likely that the two will negotiate a contract if there is a rematch.

^^^ Bivol never said that he was unhappy about the $5 million he was allotted from the fight against Canelo (although the loser received 8 times that much money). Bivol was complaining that because of the sanctions he was unable to receive the funds in his bank account. Now there is no quick fix solution to this and I am not sure whether Bivol will ever receive this amount (unless he gives up his Russian passport). Now coming to GGG vs Canelo 3, I am sure that the PPV buys will exceed 1 million this time as well. We can expect another $25 million to $30 million from the ticket sales as well.

Canelo will only be victorious against Bivol if he would study the strategies on how to counter Bivol's aggressiveness. Bivol seems too prepared every time he enters the ring and I guess Canelo has to adopt the same spirit. It will be hard for him to will if he will still use his old moves. He has to be more prepared if ever he'll face Bivol again.

Different sources estimates Canelo-Bivol ppv buys at around 500k to 550k. This is very low considering Canelo is the biggest name in boxing. Expectations was around 1 million ppv buys. Maybe because Bivol is a silent type of a fighter, not a knockout artist and he is also not a westerner nor a Latino. So Bivol should be happy with that $5 million purse. Maybe he can ask a little bit more in a rematch.

This is probably the reason why Bob Arum now has the guts to trash talk DAZN and called it 'Dead zone' because it's a dead zone. He already closed his doors on a possible joint ESPN-DAZN telecast for Beterbiev-Smith. Although he might consider the undisputed fight with ESPN as its sole telecast.

Canelo's two fights with GGG both surpassed over a million ppv buys which means a combined income of over two hundred million dollars.



   

Of course he would suffer again if a rematch were to happen, Bivol was better than Canelo and he applied his textbook boxing skills, his defense, especially using his elbows to parry and block Canelo's body punches in the first match, and it was amazing.
He reminded me of the great Michael Watson who was the perfect boxer in terms of movement and punch.

Of course, Bivol beat Canelo already in their first fight, and he clearly won the fight, so I don't think he will still accept to be underpaid in the rematch, that would be a big insult on his part. Canelo is a PPV attraction but let's respect the better fighter by not giving him a very low cut.
