[Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17

[carlisle1]

But it seems he looks very fresh in the Murata fight and won the fight hands down, but Canelo was slow at 175 lbs. But we can't say if this is going to be GGG's last fight. Boxers tend to fight just one last fight before they hang up their gloves for real.

GGG received lots of open shots by Murata in the early rounds. That is supposed to be an easy dodge for GGG but still, Murata is able to connect lots of it.

If those punches are much strong, GGG might end up being knocked out. We really see that GGG is now showing signs of slowing down but still, his durability is still strong. I just hope those punches that GGG receives by Murata won't happen here against Canelo. GGG should not allow again being a punching bag at early rounds as Canelo is different from Murata.

It's risky to receive early blows on the early rounds as he might not recover like what he did against Murata.

After this second fight with Canelo, he fought Sergiy Derevyanchenko, then Kamil Szeremeta you can say that argument that he was also hit more than in this fight specially Derevyanchenko but he managed to win by UD and then against Murata although we seen hm take more punches again still he won that fight via TKO. So GGG still holds a better chin that I don't think that even Canelo can break it down.

And again, you can also used your argument against Canelo here, he was hit with volumes by Bivol, a true LHW and with power, does it mean he has been soften up?

Both fighters are good at absorbing those solid punches. They've been tested by many fights from their early careers, the two early fights

ends up with decisions, these two fighters are not willing to fall down, both have strong chin and they know how to use the advantage to

Continue facing their opponent even they've been hit many times. We can only conclude who's going to win after the announcer calls the

name of the winner.

That's why no one would go down because they can absorb the punches thrown against each other, GGG might be older but he still has the stamina to absorb and throw strong punches, so Canelo has to be careful as GGG here is very eager to win to at least win the last possible fight.

I can't take that example as what we need to refer to is their recent fights before the trilogy.

Even though GGG win his previous fight against Murata, he was being dominated in early-round first before taking the Round 9 TKO win. If GGG was in his prime, or let's say post-prime (different from retirement period) he is supposed to dominate Murata the entire fight.

Canelo on other hand, even coming from a loss with Bivol, is fighting in his prime. He is totally different compared to Murata that's why I said that GGG shouldn't allow the same scenario he experience during the early rounds of fighting with Murata.

Honestly, I'm looking for GGG winning the fight as Canelo still has more chance to redeemed himself even he loses here.

Canelo owned the judges on those 2 fights. Just an assumption for me but it's clear GGG won 2 of their previous meeting. There will be no massive demand by most boxing fans to make the trilogy happen if there's no question about Canelo winning the second meeting.

GGG is just even silent because he knows what really happened.

I like GGG to give Canelo another to make his mouth shut. Just recently, Canelo trash talk GGG but the latter didn't respond. What bad behavior from Canelo.

I am quite sure that GGG won the first fight. He couldn't win, only because of extremely biased scoring from one out of the three judges (Adalaide Byrd). I think he had a narrow advantage for the second fight, but would have been OK with a draw. In case the trilogy fight doesn't end in KO, then we can expect another round of controversy with the scoring. GGG was not happy with the results from the first two occasions and he made it clear to the media back then. And he will be furious if the same happens this time as well.

The first fight is still debatable, Canelo might have taken the early rounds but GGG started to get hot going into the championship round and maybe he did enough to sway the judges in his favor.

Just a theory on my side though, even in the Bivol fight, 115-113? they try to rob Bivol in that fight against Canelo because that's score didn't represent the entirely of the fight. It could be 118-110 on some score cards. So clearly, I would say some judges favored Canelo an if this fight goes to the score card again, not sure how GGG can win it.

Yes, I also think Bivol was robbed of a fair score. But thanks for him dominating the entire fight it was a unanimous decision in his favor. If it was not complete dominance from Bivol, it could have been made a draw, or worse it could have been given to Canelo. Canelo is a favorite among judges. So either you win convincingly or that the fight would be given to Canelo.

I cannot see GGG knocking out Canelo so it has to be a clear win from his side. Otherwise their first match's result might repeat. That first match was really GGG's. The second could be a draw or given to either of them.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I still remember the fight against Bivol, I really can't believe it, the Russian is quite a machine, and I think this event triggered many Canelo fans who no longer want to watch his fights because they don't think they have the same emotion, I think. that there could be a lot of emotions if GGG and Canelo had happened long before the fight with Bivol, I think the magic is not the same now, personally I was one of those who wanted that fight to happen, now I don't know, anymore I don't want to, why? rather Inoue is the most sought-after boxer for now, by force of pure knockouts he has earned a great position.

I already posted this once. Bivol has so many similarities with Golovkin (in terms of ethnic background and nationality). And I am sure that this guy has enough talent to become a legend like GGG or Mayweather in the future. I hardly heard about him before his fight with Canelo, but he was amazing to watch. I am eagerly looking forward to his next fight, which is rumored to be against Joshua Buatsi. Canelo vs Bivol 2, if I am not wrong will be staged sometime in mid-2023. But both the fighters need to win their next match, in order to set up this fight.

I beg to disagree, sure Bivol have some similarities with GGG but that doesn't include their ethnicity and nationality because Dmitrii Bivol is a Russian boxer while Gennady Golovkin is a Kazakhstani boxer and both of their parents neither came from the same place or country. Along with their similarities is that they both speak the language of Russia and Kazakhstan. Anyway, enough of their background, let's focus first with this trilogy as Canelo is yet to decide soon if he will indeed pursue a rematch with Bivol after this fight.

I agree, there's not much of a similarities between the two, both maybe are used to the old and traditional way of Eastern European boxing, but that's it.

Still depends on the outcome of this fight, if Canelo won, then he will go and wanted to get his revenge against Bivol. That is if he is willing to still go to light heavyweight because it affected his style and power with that additional weight. Maybe a catch weight of 170 lbs but Bivol can't go down that low.

But yeah, let's wait first, his hands are full here against his rival GGG.

I think that the speculations through his manner and fighting style are very good to know, this greatly helps to decide in the fight at least who to make the bet and have more chance of winning, in the case of Canelo for me, I had a lot of faith in him, in fact I thought that against Bivol I was going to beat him, but I am one of those who think that not every night is one's night, maybe that was not his night and due to luck (maybe) he lost , but I think that Canelo must clear his reputation quickly and he has the opportunity right now, and he has two tasks, the first is to win this fight, which is not easy at all, and the second task is to seek a rematch against Bivol, as simple as that.

[Boristhecat]

I am quite sure that GGG won the first fight. He couldn't win, only because of extremely biased scoring from one out of the three judges (Adalaide Byrd). I think he had a narrow advantage for the second fight, but would have been OK with a draw. In case the trilogy fight doesn't end in KO, then we can expect another round of controversy with the scoring. GGG was not happy with the results from the first two occasions and he made it clear to the media back then. And he will be furious if the same happens this time as well.

I also think that Golovkin won the first fight but it's normal for me that many people think otherwise - after all, boxing has always been a subjective sport. But I don't think that there is any chance that after the third fight the disputes will stop, because now Golovkin is already obviously old, so this fight cannot be compared with the first two. The only possibility would be if Golovkin first declasses Canello in every round and then knocks him out, but even so, Canello fans will come up with some reason to justify such a defeat.

[Maslate]

But it seems he looks very fresh in the Murata fight and won the fight hands down, but Canelo was slow at 175 lbs. But we can't say if this is going to be GGG's last fight. Boxers tend to fight just one last fight before they hang up their gloves for real.

GGG received lots of open shots by Murata in the early rounds. That is supposed to be an easy dodge for GGG but still, Murata is able to connect lots of it.

If those punches are much strong, GGG might end up being knocked out. We really see that GGG is now showing signs of slowing down but still, his durability is still strong. I just hope those punches that GGG receives by Murata won't happen here against Canelo. GGG should not allow again being a punching bag at early rounds as Canelo is different from Murata.

It's risky to receive early blows on the early rounds as he might not recover like what he did against Murata.

So GGG still holds a better chin that I don't think that even Canelo can break it down.

And again, you can also used your argument against Canelo here, he was hit with volumes by Bivol, a true LHW and with power, does it mean he has been soften up?

Both fighters are good at absorbing those solid punches. They've been tested by many fights from their early careers, the two early fights

ends up with decisions, these two fighters are not willing to fall down, both have strong chin and they know how to use the advantage to

Continue facing their opponent even they've been hit many times. We can only conclude who's going to win after the announcer calls the

name of the winner.

That's why no one would go down because they can absorb the punches thrown against each other, GGG might be older but he still has the stamina to absorb and throw strong punches, so Canelo has to be careful as GGG here is very eager to win to at least win the last possible fight.

No matter what the outcome is, I can still see that GGG can still survive and stand the full 12 rounds against Canelo. For sure GGG have some adjustments because of that Canelo-Bivol fight, he somehow knows what to do but he still should be careful enough as Canelo is still in his prime and so does Canelo because GGG can still give one good punch that could result in his defeat, again in this year.

[Russlenat]

Then he has to make sure that he can knockout Canelo so there be no more unfair scoring from the judges. The fight is going to be exciting, this is the last chance of GGG to prove that he really is the better fighter like he believe because if he still lose by the judges scorecards, then I think there's no bias in the last 2 fights.

Nothing to argue. If GGG still loses this fight or if somehow another draw happened, he will be retiring his belt with a loss from Canelo. It's good to see him more aggressive in terms of knocking Canelo down for a better score card. The two past fight gives Canelo edge, though the very first one was a draw and the second one was scored in favor of Alvarez.

We don't know how these fights will end, but fans are waiting for these two heavyweights to exchange solid punches.

Both are good in terms of accepting a solid combo and remain standing. Better luck takers..

That's the best thing to do, retire if he fails again because people will still remember him as a great fighter. Nothing to prove anymore, he already did everything but it's just that Canelo has youth over him and that is his advantage.

I think GGG will still have one fight in his arsenal if ever he will lose to Canelo in the trilogy and maybe that's it. And if the fight goes to distance and another controversy, we might again see another fight. But if Canelo wins in a decisive and resounding way, it's going to be over, Canelo closing the books in their rivalry. So this is very important fight for either of them and we are very exciting to see this fight.

I don't think there will be a 4th fight after their trilogy even if there's another controversy surrounding their fight, a 4th fight is already too much even if their scores will be tied to 1-1-1 in GGG's favor. But if GGG will really happen, I don't know anymore how would Canelo lift himself after getting defeated twice a row. Nevertheless, I believe this will be GGG's last fight but same as yours, mine is also a mere speculation and only GGG can answer that for us.

[Daltonik]

Well, at least in baseball, GGG has already won a symbolic victory over Canelo with a score of 2:0 at Yankee Stadium, where they went after the press conference, it remains to wait for the fight in the ring, it seems to me that Canelo has more chances there than on the baseball field.

One thing that I have noticed for Canelo is that he starts quite well. Even against Golovkin, on both the previous fights he dominated the earlier rounds. Against Bivol, I won't say that he dominated the earlier rounds. IMO, Bivol dominated almost all the rounds. But the difference is that Canelo was competitive against Bivol during the initial rounds, before getting blown away in the later rounds. All that said, scoring is a big concern for me. Why can't we have some AI based mechanical scoring method? Technology has progressed so much.

And you got that right, of course, Canelo has more chances to win against GGG in the ring. He has the advantage against the ready-to-retire GGG and he has to win even on their upcoming trilogy if there's no hype if he wins it because he can't afford to lose for the 2nd time this year but he still should be careful against GGG though because even the man is much older than him, GGG can always upset any opponent he'd face even if that name is Saul Canelo Alvarez.

[goinmerry]

Just a theory on my side though, even in the Bivol fight, 115-113? they try to rob Bivol in that fight against Canelo because that's score didn't represent the entirely of the fight. It could be 118-110 on some score cards. So clearly, I would say some judges favored Canelo an if this fight goes to the score card again, not sure how GGG can win it.

I remember reading the article that if only Canelo shows a close fight against Bivol, he might end up winning the judge's score.

But since Bivol cornered Canelo in most rounds that whatever manipulation attempt will do, it won't help Canelo, there is no choice but to give Bivol a win which is no doubt, he clearly won the fight without a question. Canelo got frustrated during the fight and Bivol takes advantage of it.

In my own personal interest, I also like GGG winning the match to shut down Canelo's mouth where recently he throws bad words against GGG.

True, they would love to rob Bivol that night, unfortunately, Bivol was too good to be denied a win against the prime Canelo at 175 lbs. so in a close fight, judges are going to favor the cash cow and WBC Sulaiman's favorite.

Canelo though seems to be ego centric since he started to clean up the 168 lbs division. And during face off, he throws a lot of insult to his opponents. So definitely, if GGG can shut his mouth for good in this fight, the better.

One thing that favored Bivol during his fight is the previous controversy with Canelo vs Golovkin and Canelo vs Golovkin 2. The jury were afraid that the media would go ballistic if they rob Bivol of the match. Controversies like this are very frequent in sports where scoring is done in a manual basis. During the Tokyo Olympics, there was huge controversy after Israel won gold in rhythmic gymnastics. The only long term solution is to come up with a mechanical scoring system which will eliminate the personal bias.

Canelo owned the judges on those 2 fights. Just an assumption for me but it's clear GGG won 2 of their previous meeting. There will be no massive demand by most boxing fans to make the trilogy happen if there's no question about Canelo winning the second meeting.

GGG is just even silent because he knows what really happened.

So either you win convincingly or that the fight would be given to Canelo.

Thanks, I thought I was the only one who saw that the judges is trying to robbed Bivol by not giving a fair score. I look at the score card and they gave Canelo the first 4 rounds, that's absurb.

I cannot see GGG knocking out Canelo so it has to be a clear win from his side. Otherwise their first match's result might repeat. That first match was really GGG's. The second could be a draw or given to either of them.

But it's going to be very hard for GGG, he really need to have a clear point victory every round for the judges to give him the score. Otherwise, highway robbery again for him just like in the first fight wherein majority see that GGG winning by at least 2 points.

Maybe that was at the back of their heads, but it still raises some eyebrows when the final score was announced. Even trainer like Teddy Atlas was surprised to see how close the score was. To that point that I agree with @Fundamentals Of, he was still robbed of the score. But since they can't give it to Canelo, they have to make the score close as possible. But it doesn't look good to us because the score should not be that close.

[bbc.reporter]

I have not read much of the discussions of this thread and this is my first reply. Forgive me if this question has been asked before, however, does anyone speculate that Canelo might be accepting this fight very early after his loss vs. Bivol? GGG should not be very underestimated for this because it also appears that Bivol gave him the tactic to defeat Canelo. GGG also does not look like an old man in the ring with the wins after the loss to Canelo hehe.

Even prior to the Bivol fight, Canelo has already agreed to fight GGG anyway. And it just so happen that he lost to Bivol. But as I have said, this is already made so Canelo can't back up. I don't think it's early though. I mean this fight should have been made years go after the second fight. But Canelo didn't want to and he was like waiting for GGG to reach 40. Although GGG looks sharp against Murata. The blue print is already there, it's that Canelo's opponent seems to be mystified when they face him. Bivol didn't and uses all his physical advantages to beat Canelo. I don't think that GGG has any advantage though.

However, they were planning the trilogy vs. GGG having the assumption that Canelo would win against Bivol. Also having the assumption that Canelo will be having full of confidence. I am not very sure how Canelo feels today but there were pictures of him in a casino gambling and drunk after the loss. I speculate his mind might not be there 100% for this trilogy. Canelo will win, however, it might not be very easy as everyone expects.

Probably Canelo just wanted to have some fun and get out the lost out of his mind, but I don't think he is a gambler per se. But I do agree that they assumed that Canelo will win against Bivol, even Bivol says sorry for derailing all the plans. But after Canelo's lost, the fight with GGG will continue and I think Canelo is focused on this as we can see on the press conference video. Both seems to be very confident though. But I'm not going to bet this early, I will wait till the weigh-in.

I am not speculating that Canelo will certainly lose, however, it appears that it is GGG's chance of getting the victory which is the one that is very underestimated, I reckon. I am also not betting this early. I will wait for rounds betting. This might be over or under 10.5 rounds or lower which the sportsbooks might favor under hehe. GGG will fight until round 12, I reckon.

The intense look on their face tells me that a knockout is coming ,

I like the way GGG is smiling to Canelo even Canelo is so serious during the staredown, this looks like GGG is already prepared anything and not afraid fighting with Canelo for the third times. It's funny how GGG switch from thumb up hand poses to boxer poses, he probably forgot this is boxing event lol. Not really sure why Canelo look so serious to GGG, perhaps this is because he lose against Bivol.

In press conferences, GGG should joke about Canelo's loss to make him much angrier hehehehe.
