![]() He's got no reason not to empty the tank this time. Can Golovkin FINALLY get a fair set of scorecards? I think so. ![]() ![]() Both may look for a knockout early, but the next time either man is knocked down will be the first time (officially, anyway). Alvarez will rely on size and youth to prevail. The timing may benefit fans after all, with Alvarez coming off a loss and Golovkin seeing a template for victory thanks to Dmitry Bivol. Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin are dance partners who love to hate each other, tripping the boxing tango to perfection. Gayle Falkenthal (NYFights): GGG by Split Decision This one will go the distance too, and I think mid-fight, we'll start seeing the youth and skill of Canelo take over and lead him to a clear, if highly competitive, a decision victory over GGG. Unfortunately, he will be facing down a much younger peak-level fighter who has taken punches from bigger men than GGG and absorbed them like his beard is made of iron. That being said, I suspect that GGG will sell out like never before and go hard and heavy early. ![]() There is no world that exists in which a peak-level GGG doesn't dispatch Ryan Murota well before the ninth round as he did in April of this year. GGG is still a hell of a fighter, but there have been notable signs of decline in his four fights since his majority loss to Alvarez four years ago. What I do believe will be in effect is the matter of age. While it might be trendy to see Canelo as more vulnerable than ever after his loss to Bivol, the matter of size won't be a factor in this fight.
