Just purchased my theater tickets for $20.
I went to the first fight in a theater. It was a good fight. Well worth it.
In my opinion GGG won a close fight. One judge filled in her card before the fight took place. It was travesty.
There is no way on earth Canelo won 8 rounds.
These are two good fighters. They used to spar on top of facing each other.
Both guys are motivated.
Canelo and the drug test?? He said it came from the meat in Mexico. I don't know. He tested positive for a banned substance. That is fact.
I am not pulling for either guy. Just a boxing fan wanting to see a good fight.
I give GGG the edge. Age could be a factor GGG 35, Canelo 27.
I have seen fighters get old quick.
Both can box and hit. Power edge to GGG. Canelo moves well but in the first fight I thought GGG pressed the fight and controlled it with his jab.
Both guys are capable and both have the power to score a knockout.
I expect a good hard hitting fight.
Looking forward to it.

I really though Canelo was going to be the next big thing. I remember watching his "first" fight. I say "first" because he had be a professional boxer since the age of like 15 or something crazy in Mexico.
He had the combo speed and power that guys dream about. he has performed well, but I would most definitely say he has underperformed what I thought he was going to be.
I am looking forward to this as well.

The thing about GGG is he hits with heavy punches.
Guys are going along with him and then he lands hard to the body. You see guys sag. His punches are loaded. He hurts you no matter where he lands on you.
I was surprised Canelo could take his shots.

This is for the unified middleweight title.
They fought to a draw a year ago.
Both good fighters.
This will be a war. Well worth seeing.
It will be shown at selected movie theaters for twenty bucks.
Fun night.

Golovkin is a freak. He punches so hard and will just walk through your hardest shots. Canelo doesn't stand a chance with revenge on G's mind.
First fight being scored a draw was a joke. Maybe boxing thinking controversy is the last gasp hope to be relevant again?
Will be a fun fight to watch, worth the price of admission.

I saw the first fight live. Then watched it again. I was surprised by Canelo taking the punches of Triple G.
Like I said G should be the favorite. However, Canelo is younger. Sometimes guys age quick.
I like G by TKO in 9.

Great fight.
This is what boxing can be when it is good.
Hard fight to judge. I can see why it was so close. It could have been scored either way.
I thought GGG won. I could see a draw. And understand how others thought Canelo won.

Not really that hard to judge. GGG piled up point after point after point with a dominant left jab. Neither fighter sincerely "stunned" the other. GGG made Canelo pay for being the aggressor, jab after jab, with some well placed complimentary shots and uppercuts. Apparently jabs don't count anymore in boxing.
Either boxing has changed the rules or the sport is 100% corrupt. Actually probably both. There is no need to watch a match, the simple way to determine who will be awarded a win is to follow the money.
It's a shame a great fight was spoiled by more corruption by boxing and the Nevada Gaming Commission. That's two in a row in this "trilogy". I'm done, I'll never pay for another match. I'll watch the sport finish ruining itself from a distance.
Sad.
