Canelo & GGG Finalize Deal

[Wanderlei4Life]

@danrafaelespn:

Breaking: @Canelo & @GGGBoxing make deal and as expected they each get interim bouts. If fight not finalized after that purse bids. #boxing








Apparently both guys will have a voluntary in the spring/summer and then will face off in September.

What a fight!!!

Possible Canelo-GGG and Ward-Kovalev at the end of the year.

I knew Canelo would step up

That's good news can't wait.

GGG is the favorite, but I think Canelo finds a way to pull it off.

Maybe but I want to see what happens when GGG hits him with a good shot to the body or the chin lol.

 

[The Adder]

NO ONE can ever say canelo ducks guys. his track record already proves this.

Me too. I know sparring and a fight with 10oz gloves is usually different, but if the stories of their session is true, then Canelo has a chance.

I think Canelo's creative punching and underrated defense will earn him a close decision win, but GGG can absolutely win by KO or otherwise.

What if both Canelo and GGG lose their mandatory fights?

They can fight anyway. The matchup itself is interesting.

Hopefully the weight limit is 160.

Hopefully the weight limit is 160.

They're negotiating weight and money split. Thinking 157
Max weight and a 70-30 split for Canelo

Props to Canelo for stepping up if this actually happens

 

[PUO3]

Canelo wins.

 

[Wanderlei4Life]

Canelo is the real deal for taking the fight. Gennady will win. Better jab and power. Canelo has better combos and hand speed though.

Should be good

Pathetic how a fight for the legitmate middleweight champion can't be at the middleweight limit.

 

[DeJulez]

Canelo stops him and propels himself to the top 1-3 P4P

Yeah but I think I'd take GGG to beat canelo the same canelo who fought cotto gets knocked out by GGG or at least gets knocked down a few times. canelo has never been hit by a guy that hits like GGG and he won't have the size advantage.

Now I'm not counting canelo out but I just don't think he has much for GGG unless he beats on him with hard body shots for the first half of the fight.
