Brehs, I'm sorry but Jacobs revealed too much about GGG in this fight. Canelo's defense, body work, and precision is going to have Golovkin looking ordinary.

Most of what Danny revealed was well known...

Specifically little G's robotic one dimensional approach and inability to slip punches...

The main thing we didn't know that Danny revealed is how effective body punching can be against little G...Danny seemed to stop him in his tracks every time he connected with a body shot and Danny isn't known for being a big body puncher...

Size only played one factor. He moved took his time and gave it back as good as he got it. GGG does a great jab of his jab and walking dudes down. You keep him in the center of the ring, hit his body and show him angles he gets visibly frustrated and starts looking for a 1 ko shot as well as walking straight forward. You have to punch with him or be first. Jacobs didn't even so anything special other than stand his ground.

But GGG is disciplined to a degree and has a great chin. But....yes, Canelo is shorter but his subtle movements, pull right counter and MUCH better head movement and upper body movement makes me almost think he's gonna tattoo GGG into a bloody mess by the 7th round.

I guarantee this will happen

this 24-7 ep is not bad....dont want to hear aesop rock though on anything
First one was better. Felt like they didn't have enough for a second one. :yeshrug:

Something that actually kind of hurts this fight is that both fighters are being nice and respectful. There is no drama or trash talk. If you are a casual, both guys are extremely likeable. The people who dislike one of these guys seem to be die hard to me and they already want to cop the fight. :manny:

Canelo vs Golovkin: Lee Wylie's Pick - The Fight City

LEE WYLIE0
Canelo vs Golovkin: Lee Wylie’s Pick
By Lee Wylie @LeeWylie1 · On September 9, 2017
One week from today, we will see arguably the best match-up of the year, which is saying something considering how 2017 has already been a truly excellent one for boxing. It’s a huge showdown that everyone in the fight game has been waiting for, a clash for the undisputed middleweight crown: Gennady Golovkin vs Saul “Canelo” Alvarez.

Not too long ago, some questioned whether we would ever see this battle, a fight between the two best middleweights in the world. Now it’s here, and what better way to kick off our pre-fight coverage and get everyone stoked for what should be a tremendous battle than with the insight and acumen of boxing analyst Lee Wylie. Here Wylie offers his pick for what could be the Fight Of The Year, plus we get to watch again his brilliant “Beyond a Punch” video for this monumental match-up. Check it out:

I don’t believe Canelo has the mobility or stamina to box “GGG” effectively off the back foot, and I’d be surprised if he is strong or powerful enough moving forward to consistently back up Golovkin. So, for my money, Canelo’s best chance of winning lies in controlling the pocket and counter-punching. It’s there where he can make his speed and precision count the most.

In the pocket: Canelo might be most effective at close range.

Golovkin might be the harder puncher, but Canelo is sharper, more accurate, and better defensively. Also, along with his blocking skills and evasive movement from the waist, Canelo’s underrated, more compact footwork (consisting of pivots and half-steps back) lends itself to creating and exploiting openings in the pocket. Considering this, I can see Canelo having success by catching, riding, or weaving under Golovkin’s punches and then countering hard to the body (think Roberto Duran against Davey Moore), and also via well-timed uppercuts up the middle as “GGG” is leaning in or overextending.

Golovkin’s jab could create serious problems for Alvarez.

The Mexican is a more complete boxer inside the pocket, but Golovkin is so damn strong and powerful, and his jab heavy and long, that it’s going to be difficult for Canelo to set himself and not give ground. Alvarez is masterful at parrying or slipping jabs and then countering, but “GGG” throws his jab offbeat, and with very little telegraphic motion. Put simply, it’s difficult to time.

Golovkin’s pace and pressure could also prove problematic for Canelo, who can’t fight hard and fast every round. This is mainly why Canelo goes to the ropes so often: to preserve energy. Needless to say, Canelo would be playing a very dangerous game laying on the ropes against a puncher like “GGG,” whose unpredictable, two-fisted attacks — specifically those long, palm-down looping hooks — tend to bypass even the tightest of guards. Canelo can take a punch, but you can only take so many from the powerful Kazakh. And that includes punches caught on the arms and shoulders, which wear you down gradually.

Will Golovkin just be too strong and relentless for Canelo?

Styles, as they say, make fights. And this style clash probably favors Canelo who is likely the better technician and may even have the edge in ring IQ. But, more importantly, Alvarez is not a full-fledged middleweight like “GGG.” Make no mistake, Canelo might be more muscular and heavier on the night, but Golovkin will be physically stronger, perhaps significantly so, and I believe this will ultimately prove the decisive factor. For me, it was telling that Canelo couldn’t finish a clearly depleted Chavez Jr. Granted, Golovkin will open up and take more chances than Jr. did, but I still can’t envision Canelo punching with enough authority or frequency to discourage the ultra-strong and durable Golovkin from applying pressure and outworking Alvarez.

So long as Golovkin stays behind his jab and avoids coming forward recklessly or smothering himself, which would accommodate Canelo’s defensive skills and short counters in close, he should do enough — particularly down the stretch — to earn himself a decision win. Here’s hoping the judges remain impartial. — Lee Wylie

disagree with the pick but a good analysis otherwise

The one thing that irritates me most about GGG and his team is the Jacobs fight....his whole steez for 5 years was no one can last 12 rounds shyt from Abel 154-168. He barely wins now it's that " they let him off easy" bullshyt talk. Even Ward admitted the first Kovalev fight was close.

What a crock of shyt.

I dnt think Canelo have the firepower to keep GGG off him and honest. I go back to the Cotto fight and Cotton wasn't even visibly hurt or shook off Canelo power. If you can't hurt cotto or takeout a walking punching bag in JCCjr you dnt have a chance with hurting GGG. He might look good with his flashy combos but he dnt have the firepower to really hurt GGG.

the question is can he keep Golovkin honest, and I believe the answer is yes. GGG is not walking through Canelo like Porter did Paulie.

Both Cotto and Chavez have good chins, anyways. Canelo had Cotto ready to go in the 12, and Chavez was hesitant to throw.
