[Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17

[Yaunfitda]

But, this will be still an exciting match to see aside from the fact that this might be Golovkin's last professional fight.

Do you have any proof for this? Even if he loses, I don't think that Golovkin will retire after this match. He looks to be in really good shape and there is no reason for him to retire at this point. Golovkin has taken good care of his fitness levels, when compared to other athletes of this age. I know that he waited for a long time to get this fight scheduled, because according to him the previous two fights were stolen by Canelo. IMO, he can go on for another two years minimum, and can have around 4 high-profile fights.

If I'm not mistaken, he also said that he will not simply retire even if he loses. The only reason that he will be retiring is maybe he feel that he is old already on he doesn't have it anymore, meaning he can't fight and that fire inside of him is no longer there. As for Canelo, he is still in his prime and maybe he can go for another 2-5 years more.

Base on his recent interview he doesnt have plan to retire yet after his trilogy fight with Canelo and its not surprising because of the good results of his previous fight. Its like he already redeem himself from his loss with Canelo before. Thus if he happens to win on their upcoming trilogy, it is one of a good reason to continue his boxing career since he's still have what it takes to be a great boxer despite of his age.

Interesting that you are saying that he has redeemed himself from the previous loss. Officially, it was a loss. However, most of the neutral observers thought that it was a win for GGG in the first fight and a draw in the second fight. And now coming to retirement, thanks for informing about Golovkin's statement regarding the future of his career after match with Canelo. It makes no sense for him to retire at this point, since he is really in good shape and having a great level of fitness. That may happen by 2024 or 2025 though.

He can decide on his own, if he think he still have a lot to offer, of course he can still continue especially if he wins this fight against Canelo. It should be the biggest fight of his career as it's a trilogy and he can always say no if he win this fight and people will think he was really the better fighter.

Age is just a number maybe for him, but of course, no reason to retire because he is still winning fights.

Still a long discussion if we will talk about who win on that previous 2 fights. I mean the outcome favor Canelo on their second match, but in the eyes of GGG's fans; they have their own assessment and that's the reason why they will support GGG on this upcoming trilogy. If GGG will win, then a possible to have another fight for GGG either with Canelo again or he will be challenged by another top rank fighter in this division, the fate will be concluded right after the fight.

It was a controversial fight that's why this trilogy is necessary, if GGG will win, then the world will be celebrating. LOL

Anyway, make sure you put your bet on this fight, if you are rooting for GGG, you should take the high odds as it's very attractive.
Lastly, as a fan we are biased, so we will always say that our favorite fighter wins the previous fights.

But if Canelo wins, then what will happen? The world will have a mourning? The world is celebrating because those two fight again. Since their second fight a lot has changed. I would say that both gained new experience and both a so much experienced, that that extra age that GGG had is not a real fight changer. Both are so great and identically skilled, that judges once again will those who will decide who won.

Yep, many people are more interested to see the fight will happen rather than guessing which one will win the fight, I think whoever will win, both boxers will gain a respect due to not afraid to fight with his old rival.

It's interesting to see GGG have higher points than Canelo, though on different division.
In Middleweight GGG's points is 687.5, while
In Supermiddleweight Canelo's points is 647.6

If GGG will win, then a possible to have another fight for GGG either with Canelo again or he will be challenged by another top rank fighter in this division, the fate will be concluded right after the fight.

I think it's too much, that's also proving on middleweight and super middleweight division had no good boxer except Canelo and GGG.

Thankfully they're making this fight happen and it will be one of the fights of the year because after so many years of delaying their trilogy, finally, it would happen soon and all fans around the world are truly excited to watch it live whether on the venue or pay-per-view place where they will cheer for their favorite boxer to win. It's been a big question for years who really won their last fight finally they will have another chance to prove once again and maybe this one will close the door of doubt so that both can finally move on from their long rival.

Look at the poll results on this thread. GGG having almost 3:1 advantage over Canelo. And this is despite the fact that everyone knows Golovkin of 2022 is not the Golovkin of 2017. He is 40 years old, and at this age body deteriorates considerably even for well trained athletes. Most of the users want GGG to win, because they believe that he was robbed during the previous fights. But then I am surprised with the odds given out by the sportsbooks. At 4.10, they don't reflect the realities on ground. These sort of odds are severely underestimating Golovkin.

Canelo will have to man himself up and accept that he is defeated.

For us, maybe we will celebrated as we wanted for GGG to win in the third fight as it was clear day robbery on the first fight.

Both have equal skill, granite chin, never been knock down, hasn't been in trouble in any fight (remove the Bivol lost in the equation from Canelo). It will still be in the hands of the judges again in this trilogy.

No way GGG will win if this will go to the judges' scorecards, I guess it's important that GGG will find an opportunity to KO Canelo although it's almost impossible, but with a good game plan, for sure he can do that, we cannot trust the judge as for sure they will again favor Canelo.

That's for sure, we will see an exchange of punches as these two have already measured their power. So the winner here is the fighter who have more punches thrown and the one that is hitting more, GGG has to be active, going for a KO is good but he should not be frustrated, try also to score so in case no KO will happen, at least he has a chance of winning.

Don't forget Canelo have good head movement, it's not easy to throw clean punch to Canelo, so GGG should put more effort to punch more. The previous fight GGG ever landed a big punch to Canelo and it make Canelo to shake his head, but GGG isn't punch more and waiting until Canelo relax, GGG is too good as a boxer lol. If he taking that advantages to punch more, he might win the fight.

Right, so it's the timing itself, and as you have said, even if GGG landed a big punch, Canelo will just shake his head. And as many boxing experts says, it's a sign that he is hurt, he just try to downplay that he is not affected. But Canelo has a tougher chin though, and maybe that's why he didn't get knock down or what. But there are boxers that has a good chin that suddenly breaks though. And if ever there is a fighter that can do that, it is GGG.

Lol, throwing more punches will get you exposed with counter punches. Thus, it will open up a lot of opportunity for the opponent to knock you out. These two fighters are elite and won't just throw random punches. What is important here ,especially for GGG is to connect all his punches when he got the chance to shake Canelo.
This is still going to be a good fight nevertheless.

[Daltonik]

Yes, it seems to me that the upcoming fight will not be spectacular, each of the boxers understands what any mistake can turn out for him and it is unlikely that we will see, although of course we would like an open fight based on a knockout.

I don't think you really understood what I said because based on my quote above, I didn't say anything about certain things to believe that this will be Golovkin's last fight. As you can see above that I highlighted, I used the word might so I guess that means that I just said that it is possible that this will be Golovkin's last fight.

OK.. fine. No worries.

For the first time, Golovkin has come out with some statements regarding the upcoming trilogy fight. He looked very positive when he met the press. And he made it clear that he doesn't want to look back on the two previous fights. That was a big surprise for me, because Golovkin himself was upset with the scoring back then. His exact words were "A lot of time has passed. We are different fighters now". Some of my friends are saying that a KO loss against Canelo might force Golovkin to retire. I told them to STFU. Not going to happen. IMO, the fight will last full 12 rounds.

He just wanted to focus with these upcoming I guess, better to leave that past behind and never to look back, a new set of skills that's been developed for Canelo and GGG expect to find counters to that skills, knowing that with all those past fights Canelo really developed a lot of skills, now on his end, GGG will do his best to win this fight. As most of the fans and viewers expecting these one would be an interesting toe-to-toe exchanging of solid punches. I' m hoping to see the best again from both sides, no conclusions but just assumptions. Good luck everyone!

Their punches could knockout if on a different boxers, it's just that both have a strong body and a granite chin, so we will unlikely to see a KO but a entertaining fight is always guaranteed in this fight. Canelo by Decision, that's likely the outcome, but I like to see GGG by KO.
