***The Official SANCTIONED Canelo/GGG PBP Thread***

[PHATV]

This is it, gentlemen. Save the date for Saturday night.

GGG via 10th round body shot. I called it first.

 

[PHATV]

I'll take it as I would cash a bet, but I really have no idea in this one. Which is awesome.

 

[Enriko davidson]

Canelo will suffer a cut in the 10th and it will be called NC. Rematch in May next year

What is up with the "official sanctioned" thread titles?

 

[tehmvp]

I got Canelo by split. How controversial it is depends on how the fight plays out.

 

[The Can Opener]

GGG by being way too mexican for CinnamonCoastPunch.

You've been waiting for the perfect moment to unleash this one for how long?

 

[XThe GreatestX]

GGG for me

What is up with the "official sanctioned" thread titles?

Mod approved. All others will be tossed or rolled into this one.

I see this fight going the distance. Credit to Canelo's chin. Tough match up to call. Their styles play into each other's strengths but I think Canelo plays into Golovkin's a little better. Biggest game changer is gonna be Golovkin's jab. No doubt he'll use it as he has in all of his high(er) profile fights.

 

[Noctilux]

GGG's jab will be the difference specially against a shorter, flat footed opponent.I expect Canelo to win the majority of early round but getting stopped late. But then again, who knows?

It honestly just came to me while eating these fucking plain Cherrios with skim milk wishing they were something candy coated that I used to eat as a kid.

No way would I have been able to keep that one on the shelf had I thought of it sooner.

My heart and vote says GGG, but my brain says CANELO.

This is a round by round account of one of the sparring matches GGG and Canelo had in 2011.

It got me really excited!
Fun fact: Trainers in California used to call GGG around that time "Superman". lol

+1

Usually I like skilled offense first fighters and usually at the highest levels they lose to skilled better pure boxers so I'm a little gunshy. That said I'm more optimistic about this one because Canelo lacks the great movement ability of a top flight pure boxer. So I'm going late GGG stoppage, but with some doubt. We shall see.

This. I'll root for GGG but I think Canelo gets the CD (Controversial Decision).
