I hve no idea. I expect them to have a more concentrated gameplan, which knowing GGG probably relies upon the jab. I wouldnt be surprised if we see him come out a little differently and with a more focused plan. Felt like GGG and Abel had gotten a bit stale and feeling the fact that he could just walk through opponents and they hadn't been as focused lately. That part I do believe. I am not on the every time GGG gets hit it is because he let them bandwagon. Although there were a couple times in total I think he did, but that is literally 1 or 2 times in all his fights. What I do think is true is that GGG has been a bit bored trying to secure Canelo and getting lesser fights, combine that with getting older, I do think he got complacent in a few fights.

if triple G feels Canelo's punches and doesnt respect his power it is game over for Canelo. GGG has just walked through people because he knew their power wasnt enough to do damage. If Canelo rocks him or gets his respect GGG will then take more caution with his approach.
Lara's Advice for Golovkin: Can't Beat Canelo by Decision in Vegas
By Keith Idec
NEW YORK – Erislandy Lara doesn’t know whether he’ll ever get an opportunity to avenge his controversial loss to Canelo Alvarez.
The WBA and IBO 154-pound champion is much more certain that there’s no chance Gennady Golovkin can win a decision over Alvarez in their 12-round middleweight title fight Saturday night. His own experience against Alvarez in Las Vegas convinced Lara that Alvarez always will get the benefit of the doubt from judges in fights there.
“I think Canelo is in a real fight against a strong guy who’s determined,” Lara told BoxingScene.com through a translator last week. “If I had to pick somebody, I would go with Golovkin. But one thing we know is in Las Vegas, you can’t beat Canelo Alvarez on a decision.”

If Alvarez-Golovkin goes to the scorecards, Lara fully expects Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs) to lose, even if the action indicates he should be declared the winner of their HBO Pay-Per-View main event at T-Mobile Arena.
“They did it to me, so why wouldn’t they do it to Golovkin?,” Lara said. “On top of that, one judge had it a draw when Canelo fought Floyd Mayweather. They did it to Mayweather, they did it to me. You have to knock out Canelo to beat him.”
Lara lost a split decision to Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs) in their 12-round, non-title fight three years ago at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Judge Jerry Roth credited Lara with a 115-113 victory, but judges Levi Martinez (117-111) and Dave Moretti (115-113) scored their highly competitive fight for Alvarez.
Ten months earlier, judge C.J. Ross somehow scored Alvarez’s 12-round fight with Mayweather a draw (114-114). The two other judges – Craig Metcalfe (117-111) and Moretti (116-112) – thought Mayweather won by scores that were more reflective of what took place in the ring and he beat Alvarez by majority decision.
“The Canelo fight is history now,” Lara said of his split-decision defeat to Alvarez. “It’s in the past. Everyone who knows about boxing, everyone who’s not biased, knows I won the fight.”
That doesn’t mean that the Cuban southpaw doesn’t want another opportunity to beat the Mexican superstar.
“Obviously, he’s gonna try to avoid me,” Lara said. “Everyone knows that, but I hope it happens. If it happens, it happens. But every great fighter looks at their record and sees an asterisk. A guy like Floyd Mayweather fought Castillo. It was controversial and he came back and beat [Jose Luis] Castillo. He did the same thing with [Marcos] Maidana.
“That’s what great fighters do. So any time there’s an asterisk on your record, you have to fix it. If Canelo wants to go down in history as one of the best Mexican fighters, he has to do what Chavez did with Frankie Randall. The list goes on and on and on. That’s what great fighters do.”
Meanwhile, Lara (24-2-2, 14 KOs) is busy preparing for his October 14 fight against Cleveland’s Terrell Gausha (20-0, 9 KOs). Their 12-round title fight will headline Showtime’s tripleheader from Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Lara's Advice for Golovkin: Can't Beat Canelo by Decision in Vegas - Boxing News
Hopefully Lara is beltless come October 15th (#OhioPlayers), and even though I agree (Im picking GGG via KO or Canelo on the cards via controversial decision, bc Canelo isn't losing on the cards in Vegas).....Lara talking about Canelo is "avoiding" him like Canelo aint already fought him while Lara, himself, is avoiding Andrade blantantly
The Mayweather strategy straight bully and blitz him; Canelo aint slick enough to be pretty unless you let him get pretty aand comfortable, for goodness sakes Khan boxed his ears off four rounds taking it to Canelo......Canelo doesnt react well to people cutting off the ring on him, lots of nervous energy, wasted punches etc
Cant wait, flip flop daily over this fight; first fight I can enjoy as a fan with no expectations because of the style deficiencies of both

Lara's Advice for Golovkin: Can't Beat Canelo by Decision in Vegas - Boxing News
Canelo beat you on a close fight, get over it. You didn't do shyt after like the first 3-4 rounds, Canelo adopted and bombed you with body shots you didn't adapt well enough and you lost. Just shut up already and go fight Andrade instead of the Jan Zavecks and Yuri Foremans of the world

Granted I thougt Canelo won very close decisions vs. Lara and Trout...but now we have Lara and Trout going into this fight telling GGG to be careful on the cards. Exactly what we were worrying about a couple on the ago breh. And Lara is right, that Mayweather card proved forever how Canelo is going to get that scorecard stimulus.Lara's Advice for Golovkin: Can't Beat Canelo by Decision in Vegas

when he looks up... that should be a smilie here
In order for Canelo to win this - he's going to have win this with surgical precision.
Just like my thoughts before Money May beat him, Canelo is not knocking Triple G out - so he's going to have to win this by going outside of his element of powering punching his way to a W.
It's going to take next level technical sharpness to beat Triple G - and I don't know if he's got it in him.
Either way, this is about to be the fight of the year.
