Should be a superb fight - back to real boxing after the hype show a few weeks ago.

I reckon GGG by late stoppage, but I expect a war and probably knockdowns both ways.

Really looking forward to this. Could well be one of the greatest fights of all time.

GGG to win...just.

I feel canelo can win as I think he is the only boxer in the division who will be able to take ggg's power and also has enough power to hurt golovkin.

Golovkin normally just walks through everyone unharmed but that won't happen tonight.

Going to be a cracker.

Also, might get to see Saunders get knocked out by Willy Monroe.

So close to call this one, really could go either way but I just suspect GGG will catch Canelo and his power will prove too much.

Canelo seems to get favours from the judges with their scorecards so if this does go the distance I don't think GGG will get a fair result. Hopefully GGG wins inside the distance.

GGG was awful in his last fight. One bad performance or over the hill? Canelo always seems to come into the ring twice the size he was at the weigh in, but this is up another weight class. GGG for me, but not a certainty.

Also recommend the UK bouts Dubouis and Yarde both look top prospects.

Better learn to spell Dubois. All over in 48 seconds. Vicious knock out.

Been waiting for this one for a few years now.
Should be an excellent fight.

GGG wins it in the last couple of rounds.

Saunders should be a good fight too.

Yep, very vicious and clinical finish.

Early days of course, but he has the signs of being something special.

To be honest I thought a draw was a fair result. The commentary was ridiculously overstating GGG success, I wasn't sure what fight they were watching. Canelo clearly won first and last two rounds and there were at least two in the middle that were very very close. GGG was the more aggressive but his actual work and shots were very sloppy with very little clean stuff landing.

I had it for GGG by two.

How on earth Adelaide Byrd had it 118-110 for Canelo is beyond me.

Draw or a small GGG win for me in the end had Canelo 2 up after the first 2 and he won the last 2. GGG threw a lot more in the middle rounds and won 4 or 5 of them. Couple of very even rounds as well. 115-113 in GGGs favour or 114-114 sound about right.
No idea where the 118-110 came from though.
