I think the key for Canelo is to stay in GGG chest and test his stamina.

For GGG I think he needs to stay on the outside and counter.

I look at it the opposite way. GGG has to use his pressure and stay on canelo to see if he can wear him down. I don't believe he has a chance on the outside.

Golovkin: This is Real Mexican Fight - I Have Mexican Blood! - Boxing News



this is getting mad corny now

I like Golovkin as a sport person but it's a bad look how desperately they try to push this down on everyone's throat.
You're not Mexican breh, you're Kazakh and your parent are Korean and Russian and just because you're an offensive fighter you won't be Mexican all that sudden, that's a dumb generalization of Mexican boxing too. Your opponent, he's Mexican, lol

Imagine if Chris Algieri one day would walk around claiming he has AA blood and he has that "slick AA style" and is coach JDJ brings him the AA style and how him liking AA culture and foods plus having AA friends make him partially AA... :mjlol:

Sanchez: Going 12 Rounds With Jacobs Gave Golovkin Confidence

By Keith Idec

However you think Gennady Golovkin looked against Daniel Jacobs, Abel Sanchez knows that fight served an important purpose for the Kazakh knockout artist entering his career-defining fight against Canelo Alvarez.

Golovkin won a close unanimous decision over Jacobs and struggled at times to deal with Jacobs’ boxing ability and movement during their middleweight title fight March 18 at Madison Square Garden. His critics contend based on that performance that the 35-year-old Golovkin is slowing down, and was exposed by a strong middleweight who can box and was able to withstand his power.

Sanchez still considers the Jacobs fight a positive experience because going 12 rounds for the first time in his 11-year pro career provided Golovkin with a confident boost his trainer thinks he needed entering his fight Saturday night in Las Vegas. Sanchez believes there’s a chance Golovkin-Alvarez goes the distance as well, and he wouldn’t have wanted that to be Golovkin’s first such experience against a Mexican superstar who has gone 12 rounds nine times in nearly 12 years as a pro.

“I think that the Canelo fight has a chance of being a 12-round fight,” Sanchez told BoxingScene.com recently. “So if we don’t go 12 rounds in a fight [before Saturday night] – it’s hard to understand it unless you’re a fighter. But if you’ve never been 12 rounds, in your mind you’re messing with yourself. You don’t think that you can do it.

“I think the Jacobs fight proved to him – not to me, because I know he can, because I’ve seen it in the gym – but proved to him that he can go 12 rounds against a big, durable, hard-punching fighter, a very skilled fighter. So now that’s out of the way. So coming into the Canelo fight, or future fights against bigger guys, he knows that he can go 12. So that’s not gonna be a worry in his mind.”

Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs) will defend his IBF, IBO and WBA middleweight titles against Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs) in the main event of a four-fight HBO Pay-Per-View telecast Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena ($74.95 in HD).

I feel more and more that people who confidently pick Golovkin play themselves a little and from emotional reasons they can't or don't want to take into consideration some obvious red flags for Golovkin in this fight.

let's just mention the way Golovkin looked on his last maybe last 2 fights compared to his earlier form, or Canelo's clear speed and defense advantage or maybe most obviously the type of matchup which is combination counter-puncher vs pressure fighter which is like a rock-paper-scissor game, if you put together a similar level pressure fighter w/o good defense and a counter puncher who lets his hands go and has a better defense you will probably get the counter-puncher as the winner.

People who pick Golovkin seemingly relying on things like GGG's power advantage or size advantage which won't be that big imo and of course on GGG's jab which is a lot more talked about since the Jacobs fight. I don't say that it's not one of the best jabs right now but due to Golovkin's mediocre speed it's not impossible to neutralize it

What was something he did that shocked you, something that made you go “wow” during the sparring? Everyone knows about the power, but what was something else that caught your attention?


“G can actually box man. He has a gift. The guy can really box. And his jab is amazing. Very hard jab. Overall he’s a very technical fighter. I knew he had power, but what a lot of people don’t know about him is how skilled he is. I mean the guy had over 300 fights and has a couple of Gold medals. You don’t get that unless you’re a great boxer.”

Of course GGG can box, I posted videos of him boxing instead of pressuring, but they disregard it and lie to themselves that only Canelo can box:heh:


But Ima let these guys be surprised come Saturday evening when they see GGG go back to his normal EE boxing style during the match like he started off his career....and how he fought his entire life before meeting Abel Sanchez:obama:



Gennady Klitschko Postol Golovkin:wow:

nah, twitter will swim in tears :youngsabo:

majority of boxing media will be "but... it was really sad to see Golovkin losing, an end of an era :to:" like after the Chocolatito fight. 2 weeks straight mourning possibly more :whoo:

I hear you....but I don't believe you:mjpls:


It's gonna be like Chocalito, but it will be the "he was a shooting star, but he finally faced someone his own size & skill level....and well....things didn't turn out the best for him" version:sas2:
