Stangrit about Canelo's third fight - Golovkin: personal animosity, big money and the title of "absolute"

“On September 17, Saul will enter the ring against Golovkin,” informs the author of the Boxing Lab channel. “Canelo is going to fight Bivol later. One question is at what weight. What is the situation? Canelo and Golovkin fought in the past. the first time they fought in 2017, then - in 2018. Who won, who lost? I voiced my opinion, but the judges have a different opinion. The fights were close and competitive.

Canelo waited four whole years. Many believe that Gennady Golovkin should not go to the third fight. He will make good money, and this is important, but health is even more important. This is dangerous for Golovkin. Is everything so clear in the third duel? We'll figure out.

What we have? The key here is that four years have passed. What changed? Let's start with Golovkin. He was 36 years old, and now he is 40. The age for a boxer is extremely respectable. What is changing? First, the speed is reduced. Less lightness. And most importantly, the athlete sees the blows worse. Something elusive changes, and he begins to look through the moments ... Is that right? This is true.

Are there any parameters in which Golovkin has improved? In my opinion, there is. Remember that he had a certain drawdown. When he crushed everyone, he was dry. Before the fight with Canelo, he became heavier, but watery. And if you look at the last fights, he added in muscles. This is clearly visible. If you take the tonnage, hit the bag without taking into account the opponent, then I won’t be surprised that now he will fill the tonnage more.

In addition, the fight will be at super middleweight. It's not 72.6, it's 76.2. In a fight with Murata, Golovkin "breathed", but then he returned and began to fill the tonnage. Maybe it has to do with weight loss. It will be easier here. Now let's look at Canelo. At first glance, he became even more terrible. First, he matured even more purely physically. Remember how he was in battles with Golovkin.

In the first one, I built up muscles, and in the second, they left. And now he has muscles. It is evident that he matured. Canelo has also changed in terms of boxing skills. Became more uniform. Became narrower, but he grinds it. Has he improved as a boxer? This is debatable. But he carved himself. His boxing style was drawn. Recognizable. Only he does something. How green he was before, but now he is terrible and powerful. Break Golovkin, but...

Is it so? Let's see how many punches Canelo threw in the Golovkin rematch. It was a record for him. He threw 622 punches. Since then, he has always thrown out less. For example, how much did he throw away with Bivol? 495 hits for the whole fight. How much did you throw away with Saunders? 300 something. Against Plant - about 300 hits. Yes, the fights didn't go all the way, but Canelo is throwing very few punches right now. He can't.

In the fight with Bivol, he outdid himself. He threw out three-hit combinations, which is uncharacteristic for him. He breathed all over, blushed. At the blows were soft. There was no hardness. He jumped out of his reach and failed to break the 500 punch mark. How many punches does Golovkin throw? Against Murata in eight and a half rounds, he threw 629 punches. Saul has a problem. In terms of technique, he is cool, but the fight with Bivol is a separate story. He climbed out of his dimensions.

Bivol is tough, but I don't think his victory over Canelo is anything out of the ordinary. He went out and beat the little boxer. That's how it should have been. But Canelo is like a catapult. He plants, and then he needs to take a walk, pull and defend himself. Then hit or deuce, and then take a walk again. And in fact, and we are approaching the third fight with Golovkin, the first, second or even third rounds will be dangerous for Gennady. At this age, there is a risk of missing some kind of hidden blow. In terms of power, Canelo's punches are stronger than they were before. It is a fact.

But if Canelo doesn't hook with his dray, he'll be in a situation in the second half of the fight where Golovkin will still be throwing a lot of punches. As it was before, and Canelo - one and a half times less. Alvarez is more comfortable with the slower pace of the fight than he was four years ago. And Golovkin has aged, and he can miss some blow, but the tonnage and the number of blows have remained the same. If not more. And Canelo needs a slower pace than it was four years ago, so it could be negative for him."
