Anyone staying up for this? Should be a cracker n hopefully for the sanity of boxing & sport in general the Clean fighter (GGG) wins the fight! :D

GGG easily won the last fight. It was never a draw. I agree, for the sake of boxing I hope Golovkin wins. Got a fiver on GGG to win by knockout in the 7th

Will be watching this. Hope like most people that GGG wipes out the cross dressing promoters dirty golden goose.

I think Canelo will employ a similar game plan to last time, as all he really needs is to survive the 12 to get a decision. Canelos stamina will drop off though and it just depends whether GGG can finish him when it does.

I’ve not seen any trash talking or any fighter “storming” the ring to give an interview so I’ve little interest in this one.

Spot on, hopefully GGG finishes it inside the distance as the last thing we want is another dodgy judges score card like last time! N the cheat gets the verdict.

As expected Canelo by corrupt robbery.

Golovkin had that by 3 or 4 rounds.

What a fight. Can barely remember either boxer going in for the clinch and both happy to simply punch each other as hard as possible in the face.
That's not to say it wasn't very technical but both have a granite chin and couldn't knock the other out.

BT have it as a controversial win for Alvarez, for me it could have been given either way, GGG looked to land plenty of punches but Alvarez's seem to have more power behind them.

It was a close fight. There's no way Canelo did enough to take his belts though as far as I'm concerned.
GGG was daft to fight a golden boy promotions fighter in Vegas again
