    I scored the first fight a draw unlike most here...and I expect the 2nd fight to be close and competitive too and possibly be hard to score and end in a debatable decision.

    When one guy is throwing noticeably more punches, jabs mainly, but the other guy is throwing and landing the harder punches...the result would always be debatable; e.g. De La Hoya- Mosley 2, Barrera - Morales 2

    Be just like the last one because this kid will be allowed to cheat as I'm sure he always does, everything is in his favor and GGG has to just about kill him to win which he himself isn't good enough to do

    GGG probably once again wins on most scorecards ... just not the ones that matter

    Golovkin will get his deserved win this time.

    Perfect scenario is Clenelo gets knocked cold and fades into obscurity. GBP goes bankrupt, which prompts Oscar to OD during a coke binge.

    PEDs and all that other jazz aside, I can't picture the fight being much different from the first.

    Canelo may try to be more aggressive, but he doesn't have a great gas tank, and the moment he gets checked with a couple of Triple G right hands, I see him reverting to what he did in the first fight, which is run like his master, the Golden coke head.

    If the judges arent bribed or watching the fight through Canelo 3 D shades, then Triple G wins a deserved decision. Of course, a BS draw or Canelo win is always possible with Oscar paying off whomever he could.

    The first fight was hard to score and a DRAW was a reasonable outcome.

    The fight was not hard to score, and no, a draw was not a reasonable outcome in the slightest. You know when you have a legitimately close fight, one where a draw might be a reasonable outcome? Press row scores are generally pretty split, you'll get a good amount of scores on either side.

    Do you know what the press row scores were for Golovkin - Canelo? 21 - 1 - 3. Only one person scored it for Canelo ffs.

    MMADecisions.com

    21 to 1 ffs!

    It was not a close fight, and a draw was not a reasonable outcome. Golovkin won clearly, Canelo just backpeddled on his fat little ginger legs and landed the odd flashy counter. Golovkin outlanded him in 10 out of 12 rounds.

    Yep, pretty much how I feel. The matchup between these two is what it is, they both fought pretty much how they fight. I mean, Canelo was more mobile than usual, but is being less mobile going to make things any better for him? I doubt it.

    I see the fight being very similar to the first, only with increased urgency from Golovkin - having been jobbed, and knowing Canelo doesn't pose a huge threat - and this time being given his rightful win.

    I have this gut feeling that GGG is going to get old overnight and Canelo will win a decision that is not controversial. Not sure why, I though GGG won a competitive but clear decision and think he should be able to do it again.

    There’s always the possibility that’s Canelo gets a gift, especially given the ridiculous scorecards he’s had in the past, but I am hoping that the controversy of the first fight and the PED test is going to stack things a little back in GGG’s favor. I think GGG being so vocal about how corrupt it is, is him trying to play mind games to get more fans cheering for him and subtly influence the judges to try to prove they aren’t crooked and pro-GBP.

    It’s boxing so of course I wouldn’t bet on it workings

    Canelo suspended. Does this mean the fight won't happen? Or still could?

    If no fight then Saunders will not step in to face GGG. I still don't think Billy Joe really wants anything to do with Golov.

    It's all a front by the Nevada commission to APPEAR legit. I can hear Bob Bennett on the phone with Oscar now "We can't let this corruption look like corruption, Oscar. So we're gonna "temporarily suspend" Canelo for a few weeks, then hold a "hearing" to officially clear him. Those cookies you sent my wife were delicious, btw. She ate every crumb. I love you, Oscar. See you soon, Golden Stud."

    Yeah I can't imagine Canelo being truly punished and the fight being off. It's all a hoax to make it look like they're disciplining Canelo.

    Two years ago, sure - no idea why you´d think that now.
    BJS shuts-out Golovkin if they fight this year.

    Shuts out? Come on. GGG is no Lemieux. BJS looked great against Lemieux and I fancy his chances a bit against Golov, but it's a different proposition entirely.

    I give Saunders a chance, but I can't picture him shutting out Triple G. He's no prime Hopkins or anything like that.

    I'd pick Golovkin to win that fight too.

    Golovkin hasnt looked shit since Jacobs and then Brook.
    That was first half of 2016.

    He didnt look that convincing v. Clenelo either.

    While Saunders has looked the exact opposite.



    You guys must still be riding the GGG Hypewagon for some reason.

    Golovkin looked good against all 3. He beat Brook effortlessly, more impressively than new flavour of the town Spence.

    Jacobs is huge and good, Canelo is good, and GGG beat them both clearly. Big fucking difference between Eubank/LeMook, and Jacobs/Canelo.

    The idea of Saunders beating GGG is hilarious.

    Okay, why?
    You must have some bias against Saunders based on how he was behaving 2+ years ago....?

    Not remotely. Saunders is pretty good, and actually underrated before the LeMoo fight.

    Now he is overrated. I mean, he beat LeMoo ffs. Big deal. LeMoo is a plodding clueless scrub with a punch.

    He won't beat Golovkin, and tbh probably won't beat Canelo either. MAYBE Canelo, but definitely not Golovkin. Golovkin is a clear tier above, he'll walk right through Saunders. It won't look a lot different to the Brook fight, only he'll probably last longer.

    I think Saunders at this point does well against Golovkin, as in he will win rounds and maybe have a decent lead at some stage, but he will get walked down eventually. I can't see him actually winning.

    Saunders got too much movement, too many tools and too many boxing-smarts to be 'walked-through' by an aging, one-dimensional banger who isnt exactly this decade's Gerald McClellan, yeah?

    To be fair though, I'll be honest and admit I've never been on the GGG train - he's just never impressed me in any fight I've seen him in.

    Same applies to Errol Spence: many on here proclaiming him to be some kind of Sugar Ray Leonard.
    Like fuck he is.

    Golovkin's boxing ability has always been hugely underrated, in fact one of the few people who actually give him the credit he deserves for his ring IQ is Saunders himself. I watched an interview with BJS today where he admits it would be an incredibly difficult task to pull off.

    One dimensional banger? What are you talking about? He's a technical attacking fighter. Skill wise, he's one of the best in the world. He's one of the best counter punchers in the world, a master at moving people where he wants them to, and walking them into shots, and just controlling the ring. He also has the single best jab in the sport.

    If you think he's a one dimensional banger, you don't know what you're watching. He's an Olympic silver medalist, had an amateur record of 345-5 ffs. You don't get that if you're a "one dimensional banger".

    He's a much better boxer than Saunders, Saunders just has the classic stick and move boxing style that might make casuals think he's a better boxer than an aggressive technician like Golovkin.
