NFT: Alvarez-GGG fight Saturday night

MartyGlickman : 9/14/2017 1:15 pm
Pay-per-View shows an 8 PM start time. Is that for the first undercard fight or for the main event? Having a group of people over to watch and not sure when everything starts.
Undercard ...  
[]D [] []v[] []D : 9/14/2017 1:43 pm : link
...and there are three fights prior. Main event should start around 11:00-11:30
So excited for this fight!

Canelo stops GGG in the 8th.
I really like GGG  
montanagiant : 9/14/2017 2:39 pm : link
But did it seem to anyone else that Jacobs put up a better fight vs him than anyone thought?
Danny Jacobs is legit

and had the right style to give GGG trouble.

Look I like GGG, dude has been fun to watch. But in his 19 title defenses he has largely fought nobodies. Danny has been his biggest threat to date. Which is one reason I am leaning Canelo in this one. He's fough the better opposition including going 12 rounds with Mayweather as a 22 year old.

Exactly. Jacobs is indeed legit but he ain't no Canelo.
Canelo should have lost to lara and trout

Did people watch those fights?

He had improved a lot and looks in amazing shape, is the better pure boxer... but people act like canelo has steamrolled the world

Honestly - you can question both guys. Who has Canelo beat in the last few years? An outmatched Amir Khan? An over-the-hill Miguel Cotto? The Trout fight was one where the decision was sketchy.
This going to be good....

Cinnamon will start fast...and hard to the body, GGG hates the body as shown in past fights. GGG will become a counter puncher early and stand toe to toe and set traps for Canelo.
I think by the middle rounds Canelo will slow his roll as GGG
will try and close it out....Big Mistake! and a final rounds of give and take Cinnamon will end it Suddenly in KO fashion....on the flip side if GGG starts quickly and throw punches in bunches this can turn out to be a classic but still Cinnamon should win....don't get me wrong because I am a big GGG fan but as a boxing coach I have to call it as I see it......good luck GGG my friend you'll need it.
GGG's jab will be the biggest weapon in this fight.

If he's active with it he will dominate Canelo. If he's lazy with it things will be more competitive.

As a boxing coach, do you know anyone who likes it to the body? I see Canelo as the counter puncher in this one. A KO of GG would be fantastic for Canelo, considering GG has never gone down in over 350 fights, pro and amateur combined
I got GGG  
JoeyBigBlue : 9/15/2017 11:40 am : link
Canelo's never fought a legit middleweight with GGG's power and skill. People say Danny Jacobs isn't Canelo, but Danny Jacobs is a legit middleweight with really good height and reach. If GGG controls the distance by using his jab, and picking his spots it will be hard for Canelo to coming and land his trademark combinations.
Duke...yea no fighter likes bodys shots..  
BCD : 9/15/2017 1:56 pm : link
and most will give it up not to get head shots..(hands high)...and most counter punchers are not big bangers but some power guys use it when in trouble and to buy time....GGG still has a good chance mind you but the hand writing on the wall for this one the way (I] see it.
Cheering for GGG  
Duke Leto : 9/15/2017 2:20 pm : link
But thinking he can't win a decision in Vegas. GGG has to knock him out
Jacobs also added weight per a clause in their contract  
Lafferty, Daniel : 9/15/2017 4:12 pm : link
and was 15-20 pds heavier than GGG in that fight... Oh and btw GGG still knocked him down!

Word out of GGG camp is he has let the past few fights go deeper to draw in Canelo as people we scared of him for years. While that may not be entirely true -- with regards to letting Jacobs hang/ending the KO streak -- this is still GGG's fight to lose, as the odds will tell you. The line is getting closer to straight up but I think GGG's power will prevail.

Canelo looks jacked up and ready but he has never fought anyone with GGG's power...

I like (hoping for) GGG with a late round KO!

Very excited for this one. BIG DRAMA SHOW!
This is also Canelo's first fight  
Lafferty, Daniel : 9/15/2017 4:16 pm : link
as a true Middleweight. I respect him taking the fight (finally) but I do not think he is ready for Golovkin's size/power. GGG has hands like rocks.
One really good aspect about this fight?  
montanagiant : 9/15/2017 5:08 pm : link
When it's over we won't be subjected to those horrendous Stallone/Alvarez "Be Bold" Tecate commercials
Calling this a draw is BS  
montanagiant : 9/17/2017 12:36 am : link
Great Fight but GGG won this
