[Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17

[Dave1]

At least Canelo making the good decision of giving us fans the needed trilogy instead of fighting Bivol again.

And this will be a career defining moment for him, I guess the lost to Bivol will give him motivation to finished off the storybook story between him and Canelo. Not sure if the odds are out yet, I haven't check but Canelo will be the favorite here despite his recent L.

That fight is won by decision which definitely needs rematch so I hope there will be another probably after with GG if he wins. Looking at it, its unsure that Canelo will win over GG. Although GG is older, he was tough fighting Murata. His stamina is good despite to constant attack on his body. He worked hard to get to have this 3rd  fight against Canelo.

Fighter are good in their last fight, so if we will go with this argument, then Canelo losing to Bivol is not good for him. Regardless, this is his rival so it will be interesting to see who will win this 3rd and hopefully final fight.

I might be leaning towards Alvarez here, even if this is going to be 160 or 168 lbs, I think he can beat this version of Golokvin.

This particular fight is not appealing to me anymore. This is years too late and we have seen GGG struggled against a Murata. We saw how GGG reacted every time Murata threw solid punches and landed. I haven't seen the odds yet but this should minimum x2.6 to x3 for GGG. Maybe if Canelo haven't lost to Bivol, GGG's odds on winning would've minimum x4. 

I cannot imagine GGG hurting Canelo this time. I cannot think of a way GGG can win. But maybe, just maybe as Anthony Joshua said on his knockout lost to Andy Ruiz that it was a lucky punch sent by the gods.

[TopTort777]

The fight everyone so wanted. The fight that should happen long time ago, when everyone were at their peak form. Now GGG is not as quick as he used to be. I predict that Canelo will win this fight and I predict Canelo fans started to talk like "told ya, Canelo is the greatest". This looks similar to Tyson Fury beating good old grandpa Mike Tyson and claiming he is the greatest and beaten Iron Mike. This will be more an opportunity to get their last or one the biggest cheques, than really proving who is better among them.

I have the feeling that Canelo will be very prepared for this as he wants to prove that he is better than GGG even after his recent loss. I believe, this would be a toe-to-toe fight which will be worth to watch. Now, it is on them who will give the KO to win this fight. I think the odds will be close for this match.

This is I think one of the boxing matches that will be worth looking forward to. Promoters will earn huge payout on this one. Maybe, last hurrah for GGG before he hang his gloves so Canelo should really take care of his training here.

[Kelvinid]

All along, I was thinking that Canelo would have a rematch with Bivol, but I don't complain though, this one is better than the rematch. It's a trilogy, the anticipated fight of the fans, and although GGG is probably the underdog here, but I like his chance now on beating Canelo.

Big fight that everyone would surely love to see.

[YOSHIE]

I haven't seen them both in the ring in a long time, I just saw Canelo vs Golovkin will meet in the ring this time, I wonder if this has an element of revenge for the two of them, after they met evenly a few years ago.

I'm sure the Canelo vs Golovkin meeting can be the boxing that many fans have been waiting for, it can be said that the most powerful boxing to come, As far as I know, if they officially meet on September 17, this will be the third meeting for them both.

The meeting between Canelo vs Golovkin this time will make the audience entertained and challenged, because the two of them haven't seen each other in the ring for a long time, considering that they are both very far apart in age 31 & 40, I'm also curious how the two of them will continue in the ring next time, I hope to find something to do this September 17th.

Their first fight was on September 16 2017, second fight on September 15 2018, and their third fight should have happened in the middle of September 2019, not 2022. If the fight would have happened, it would have answered all questions who is better. It would be perfect, if after their second fight, their third fight would be immediate. Instead GGG had 4 fights and Canelo 8. I would say that now their are same fighters they were in 2018, to figure out once and for all who is the best. Now, Canelo had more fight, more experience, GGG only became older. I see no drama in their third fight - Canelo win by UD.

At the age of 31, Canelo looks to be nearing retirement. He appeared to have lost his motivation, or been in too many wars against Bivol.

What sucks for GGG is he has only 1 loss on his record to Canelo. And many felt GGG won both fights. A case could be made for GGG being undefeated at this point in his carer.

GGG might have to knock Canelo out to get a win. Removing the judges from the equation is the only chance he has of winning. Commentators and judges are too biased in Canelo's favor.

Canelo to me is the most overrated boxer in the world. I don't understand how he gets so much hype behind him.

After Bivol destroyed him in the ring, he is not as overrated as before. It confuses me how quickly this fight was announced after the loss to Bivol - is it really done in order to return the “halo” of a big boxer for Canello? GGG is definitely a big name, but he is 40 years old and I will be very upset if Canello wins now just because of his age.

Canelo seems to be fighting as often as he can these days.  Seems like he may know that his best days are behind him and he's trying to get as much money and put on as many top level fights as he can before he hangs up the gloves.  He was a hell of a fighter, but father time is undefeated.  I think he'll probably have a few good years left, but I think it's obvious that he is no longer in his fighting prime.

It's officially announced that the trilogy between Canelo and GGG will happen this September 17 and the rematch with Bivol will wait or will not happen.

For me, this should happen years ago when GGG was not so old hehe but nevertheless fans will still watch this fight to see if GGG has still some tricks on his sleeve.

Who you've got on this fight?

At last! The most awaited trilogy between Canelo and GGG will happen this year. I'm really glad for the latter because for a long time, he waited and has been calling for this match.

Although, this fight should have happened years ago like @bisdak40 has said when GGG was much more capable and undoubtedly can give Canelo a hard time. Well at least, a trilogy will happen soon and this will probably be GGG's last fight before he decides to hang up his gloves.

Who you've got on this fight?

I ain't gonna lie, it's Canelo.

After Canello lost to Bivol, it would be a strong move for GGG to deny Canello this fight. I see no point in this fight for GGG - firstly, GGG is already very old, and secondly, Canello is already defeated. Why give him a chance to rise (in the name of GGG) again?

Who you've got on this fight?

I ain't gonna lie, it's Canelo.

Most likely yes, but we have already seen cases where, having suffered one defeat, previously invincible champions crumbled, I hope this is waiting for Canello.

[harizen]

This particular fight is not appealing to me anymore. This is years too late and we have seen GGG struggled against a Murata. We saw how GGG reacted every time Murata threw solid punches and landed. I haven't seen the odds yet but this should minimum x2.6 to x3 for GGG. Maybe if Canelo haven't lost to Bivol, GGG's odds on winning would've minimum x4. 

The same sentiment as well.

GGG received lots of punches that Murata connects during the early rounds of their fight which is supposed not to happen. Murata is also already in his post-prime career when he fought GGG. But who knows that GGG's pure potential will just be released since it's now Canelo he is facing unlike when he fought Murata that there's no vengeance or something like, it's necessary to do some dominance the whole fight.

Anyhow, the trilogy is really expected to happen and is already anticipated by most boxing enthusiasts.

Unexpected results might happen. Although it's different in the case of the underdog Bivol against Canelo, the former is currently in his prime that's why even if he upset Canelo, it makes sense that he wins. GGG on the other hand is almost on his retirement and fighting a boxer that is currently in his prime and still young.

If the odds for GGG are decent, I might risk money for him. Not because I think he will win but I see GGG will give all his best in this fight as the final fight of his career. Maybe he can finally pull a win now because of his much higher determination.

some feels that GGG was cheated last time or maybe even GGG felt that he won his last fight with Canelo, so now, yes, the motivation to prove that he can defeat canelo fair and clear is always there. however, can he keep up with the younger canelo, now, that he is in the last stage of his career? he won over murata but with the determination of canelo to get back from his recent loss will play a major role here. in any case, this fight is a very good one to look forward to.

[yazher]

Well right now is the best time to do it since they can gauge the level between them for about 50/50 because of what happened to Canelo's last fight and it could be one of the most exciting fights of this year since both of them are capable of giving us surprise win. I hope this fight will not reach the official's decisions because I find that boring and they really need to do some work in the early rounds where the exchange of punches is intense and one of them might be about to go down in that exchange of power punches.

[Kemarit]

At least Canelo making the good decision of giving us fans the needed trilogy instead of fighting Bivol again.

A good decision but not because of the fans. It was because if he will fight Bivol again, he might finally end up losing again. Haven't you noticed how silent Canelo is after he loses? If he really thinks he can go a win against Bivol in a rematch, he will surely be vocal about it. There's hesitation because he knows to himself he can't handle the underdog Bivol for the 2nd time.

Instead, he chooses to fight against the older GGG and stick with the supposed original plan if he wins against Bivol. He thinks he can handle easily that old guy plus awaiting big money that will be generated by this match instead of fighting Bivol in a rematch.

At least though, we will see this fight even it's kinda late.

Of course, maybe he was just advise by his team not to take Bivol as this point because he will end up losing the fight again. And the fans is wanting to see this fight being made, so even if he came for a big L, he can still go and fight Canelo. And maybe the real money is with this trilogy and he knows that their fans are going to buy the ticket even if this is going to be expensive as they are eager to see the third fight.

Agree with this. Golovkin has the motivation to take revenge for what Canelo did to him in their match in 2018 while Canelo might be experiencing a minor setback due to his unexpected loss. GGG is still strong considering his previous fight after his defeat to Canelo. I think I will go for GGG this time because Canelo is overconfident when he knew that his record and skills are greater than the opponent. This is the case why he lose to Bivol and I think this will happened in this upcoming trilogy. I preferred to watch this fight rather than the rematch with Bivol. Hopefully, we might see a K.O in this fight.

I'm up to believe Canelo will win against GGG and then ask for rematch against Bivol. This I think is his best path to go forward or hang the gloves already for he is getting old. Canelo vs GGG is a way to make him more money and at the same time will move him in the right direction again. So if he loses against GGG, that would be it confirming he is infirmed. And will have 3rd loss whoever his next fight will be.

True, get over with GGG first and then rematch Bivol for a bigger payday. Not just the best path, but it's the only way for him to regain his place as one of the greats. Just imagine, beating GGG in a rematch an then going after Bivol and win. Setup their trilogy and beat him in the 3rd match. That will be the perfect scenario for Canelo and perhaps this is what they are hoping to happen in the future.

True, get over with GGG first and then rematch Bivol for a bigger payday.

GGG is much more popular than Bivol. Canelo would earn more for a third fight against GGG (because of GGG and trilogy), then in a fight against Bivol. And dont forget that Bivol beat Canelo  impressively, Canelo need to get prepared better for rematch, or change coach (and to test a new coach in next fight). Because if Canelo will come with same strategy (powerful punches and less combinations and speed), that extra weight (light heavy) will make Canelo lose again. For Canelo, GGG looks like an easier opponent, compared to Bivol.
