[Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17

[LittleBitFunny]

I noticed an interesting thing about this fight: Golovkin can win, but most likely only by knockout - he is too old to last the whole distance of the fight and win on points.

I don't agree with you that GGG can't last the whole fight just because of his age. He has the stamina to last long.

But likely, if the fight went to a decision, Canelo might be the winner. GGG can only win by Knock Out or he is evident the clear winner of each round like what happened when Bivol got the unanimous win against the favorite Canelo. Canelo is the current cash cow and the result might get influenced in favor of him.

If there's a manipulation then most likely Canelo will win again. GGG does believe that he will be robbed again if he will not KO Canelo, so it's going to be a hard job for him knocking out Canelo because the champ is a younger guy and still on his prime.

What I expect in this game is that it's gonna be an entertaining fight, but most of us believe Canelo will win via decision.
Would you agree with that?

I would have to agree with @agustina2 because even though GGG is 40 years old, I still think that he has enough stamina to make it all the way. But at the same time, I also think that it would be better if he went for the knockout rather than a fight to the majority decision. When it comes down to the judges' scorecard, I really believe that Canelo is going to win the fight.

@Japinat, There is no doubt that if it is a majority decision win, Canelo is going to be the victor. The fight should really be finished with an early knockout by Golovkin, and he should really try to do that. But I wonder if that will be the case, since you know, he usually takes a while to get used to the pace, so I'm not sure if that is going to happen.

Very exciting night is waiting, Odds are ~5.00 for Golovkin and 1.20 for Canelo, best of luck bettors.

Would you agree with that?

I think everyone understands that any controversial situation will be resolved in favor of Canelo and if the fight is equal or without a big advantage of one of the boxers, then Canelo will definitely be declared the winner. It is not profitable for anyone to give the victory to a boxer who is about to retire and finally ruin the career of Canelo, who can be a money cow for many years to come. In this sense, the fight is initially unfair - GGG understands all this and is under great pressure.

Boxing does involved business which it would be understandable that there are particular things which had been prepared or been set up and as you speak or mentioned about money cow then its not something new anymore.About pressure then each fighter do really able to feel out these things specially if they are aware on what are the things been involved.
Its indeed a pressure.

Now, a lot of boxing fans are waiting for this match. As it may be the last fight of GGG.
As judges are aware that people are on eyes of this fight, I don't think they will decide a very unfair decision.
Because if one of them will win fair and square, I don't think the judges will give a very upsetting results.
I am also excited to watch this fight and see how far can GGG goes on this one.

You got a point, Canelo is stll the cash cow of boxing, although eh lost to Bivol, he still commands a lot of fans to watch his fight and bring revenue to network and promotion. And if boxing is business, so it must be corrupt as well as the judges might be in the payroll so that he will allow Canelo to win if the fight is going to be close. Otherwise if he losses this fight, everyone will be in shambles and will try to carry back because they need Canelo to regain his status asap. But we can't discount the fact that Golovkin has his own reasons to try and go win this fight.

Now, a lot of boxing fans are waiting for this match. As it may be the last fight of GGG.

This is his last fight with the DAZN contract, so not sure if he will renew if he is going to be offered a new contract if he decided to continue with his career, win or lose.

As judges are aware that people are on eyes of this fight, I don't think they will decide a very unfair decision.
Because if one of them will win fair and square, I don't think the judges will give a very upsetting results.

I don't think that that judges will give a unfair decision, or at least favor Canelo if he doesn't deserved to win. As you have said, all eyes are watching, so they better do a good job as compare to the last 2 fight. Because for sure there will be a lot of criticism and they might not be able to judge or at least be suspended if they f**ed this one up.

[serjent05]

Any result yet on this fight?  

Yes, this is an unfair fight to begin with. They waited for GGG be this old which is why GGG needs to KO Canelo or make obvious striking points beyond doubts to win this fight which is also difficult since he had gained weight.

At least GGG will have money after this fight.   .  It is obvious that if the fight is close, Canelo would have a high possibility of winning.  So GGG really needs to show the judges that he is a better boxer through the volume of clean punches if he can't KO Canelo.  In short, GGG need to outbox Canelo by a mile.

Its indeed a pressure.

Well, boxing isn't only a sport but an industry that involves business.  So definitely, the boxing authority's decision is always affected by the thought of how much profit they can get out of those matches.

I like to think that boxing is Canelo's cash cow and he is milking it a lot in terms of revenues, his being a free agent makes it possible to make huge revenues, but the milk will not flow abundantly anymore if he loses this one, he is still boxing favorite to watch boxer even though he slides in the boxing pound for pound ranking, fighting Golovkin is a big challenge to him, he just comes out from a unanimous loss, and he is fighting someone who lasted a full 24 rounds, it's just the thought that GGG is now 40 years old and many think that father time is catching up and the hardship of boxing is now taking a toil in his body

So let's enjoy the fight guys, main event coming up in the next few hours.

GGG does not have to mind the trash-talk, he needs to focus on this fight and prove to the world that he can beat Canelo. Imagine if GGG will win here, that would give Canelo 2 losses in a row and will result in reducing his popularity. People will also remember that GGG is the better fighter between the two, so I understand why GGG is silent, it only says he will do the talking in the ring.

Yep, a good result is sweeter than a good words, if GGG can beat Canelo in this fight, I think many fans already stop to follow him since he can't prove if he's better than GGG. Not to mention how many bettors already lose when he fight Bivol before, they will be disappointed.

Maybe it's either Inoue, Crawford or Spence will become the best pound for pound boxer.

Light heavyweight also isn't a place where Canelo can easily beat the champion, it's a big challenge for him.

True, and I think because of the language barrier, GGG doesn't mind those trash talk, his seen better days when boxers trying to intimidate him by trash talking but in the end, he closes those big ass mount by either a TKO or KO victory.

There could still be bettors who are going to back up Canelo no matter what, just like the die hard fans of other boxers during their prime like Manny or Floyd.

This fight does not need trash talk to hype it, it was the fans who requested to see it and here it is, so I can say that it's going to be a sold-out fight and the fans will be entertained watching this. Canelo is the winner in the previous match but anything can happen here, GGG could win here and maybe retire to give Canelo a lesson that trash talking is bad.

It is in very bad taste when one is opposed to speaking like that before a match, perhaps that is why I have seen many people biased towards GGG, and it is as you say, this fight is taking place because the fans asked for it, but I think that Another fight is being given a little late, after each boxer had a failure against other opponents, and this in some way at least disappoints me a little, it would have been spectacular that these boxers could have faced each other but both with their previous fights already won, this had been much more exciting, at least I think it would have much more attraction, because it would be a fight of undefeated titans.

Canelo has the overwhelming need to win, for now I see that many follow GGG but because they have a special affection for him, I cannot deny that GGG is a very good boxer, but when comparing Canelo I see that Canelo for now has very great reasons , one of them is to fight against Bivol again, he wants to get rid of the thorn, on the other hand if Canelo does not win, he would have to fight to have another fight with him, and I see that as very difficult, if this fight is almost over At the request of the fans, I don't want to imagine if it will happen again, I really didn't think it would happen, but apparently the federation is listening to the fans, something that seems very good to me.

The other fights are done. Main card will start within a few minutes I guess. The last three fights were decided by UD (Super flyweight won by Jesse Rodríguez, Super middleweight won by Ali Akhmedov and Middleweight won by Austin Williams). There were two KOs today, by Diego Pacheco (vs Enrique Collazo) and by Marc Castro (vs Kevin Mendoza).

Here in Singapore, I subscribed for DAZN paying SGD 2.98 (around $2.10). Need to see whether to retain the subscription, or to cancel it after the match.

Unofficial scorecards from CBS Sports and Sporting News show Alvarez winning first three rounds (Canelo 30-27).

Unofficial scorecards from CBS Sports and Sporting News show Alvarez winning first two rounds (Canelo 20-18).

GGG clearly slowing down here...

Power punches of Canelo are slowly but surely showing up here, don't know if GGG can survive in the championship rounds.

edit:

It's just weird that Canelo is not going to the body which he was known for instead he is head hunting, looks like he wants to end GGG's career in a brutal passion.

edit:

GGG comeback but i'm afraid it's too late for him as Canelo has been filing points in the early rounds.

[Vishnu.Reang]

Very one sided fight so far. Canelo simply dominating and Golovkin showing the negative impacts of ageing.

As per CBS Sports, Canelo ahead by 50-45. First five rounds go to Canelo.

I totally agree I'm also scoring the fight on my own and based on my score card GGG hasn't won a single round had the same score card, if this goes on GGG will have to knock out Canelo in order to win, Canelo is very aggressive throughout the fight, GGG will have to take action onwards for him to win by decision, but for now its all Canelo.

[Vishnu.Reang]

I am watching the fight, as well as following Sporting News and CBS Sports for unofficial scorecards. The score so far is:

CBS Sports: 99-91 Canelo (Canelo won 9 out of 10 rounds)
Sporting News: 96-94 Canelo (Canelo won 6 out of 10 rounds).

Golovkin making strong comeback from rounds 6-7, but it looks as if that is not enough. Canelo is the clear winner of this fight, by a good distance.

[robelneo]

Canelo bounce back from a loss by winning this fight via unanimous decision the decision this time is uncontested he is more aggressive and connects a lot of big shots, GGG has shown slowness on his move but is still good, the fact that Canelo cannot hurt him seriously made us think that GGG can still continue to box, he sis moving forward now maybe he'll go for Andrade or offer a rematch against Bivol, his pound for pound ranking will surely improve with this win.

[bryant.coleman]

Final Scorecard is as follows:

Dave Moretti: 116-112 for Canelo
Steve Weisfeld: 115-113 for Canelo

Golovkin making strong comeback from rounds 6-7, but it looks as if that is not enough. Canelo is the clear winner of this fight, by a good distance.

Canelo won but not with a good distance as two judges scored it 115-113 so there could be a draw if GGG won one more round which could spark controversy again. I've watched the fight and I think GGG has lost 9 rounds. If only he fought his fight in the early rounds the outcome could have been different but as they said, he was fighting as an old man, he may be gassed out if threw punches early and got knockout on the championship rounds.

So for me, this is the end of this match as clearly GGG is aging and depriving the fans of his true fighting style.
