Canelo-GGG : It is All About The Solutions

By: Sean Crose

They final met 4 lengthy years in the past. Canelo Alvarez gained that evening, besting the dreaded Gennady Golovkin by advantage of a controversial choose’s determination. The fighters’ careers have gone in wildly completely different instructions since that point. Canelo has, for essentially the most half, remained the largest identify in boxing. Golovkin, however grew to become almost semi retired. Most would argue that their impending third battle, set to go down Saturday evening on the T-Cellular enviornment in Las Vegas, could be a foregone conclusion….or, that’s, they might have if Canelo hadn’t misplaced his final combat, an unsuccessful try to wrest the WBA gentle heavyweight title from the waist of Dmitry Bivol.

Now folks aren’t so positive…or at the very least they’re not as positive as they have been. Other than his two earlier battles with Canelo, the fighter referred to as GGG hasn’t taken a complete lot of damage and tear within the ring. Once more, the person’s solely had 4 fights because the second Canelo match (the primary battle between the 2 went down in 2017 and led to a controversial draw. Most felt GGG ought to have gained). Nonetheless, the Kazakh warrior isn’t any child on the age of 40. Plus, he hasn’t at all times regarded his greatest over the previous 4 years.

Simply ask Sergey Derevyenchenko, who some felt did sufficient to beat GGG when he misplaced to the favored fighter again in 2019. There’s little doubt, nonetheless, that Canelo is coming off a troublesome loss. Earlier than assembly Bivol the man hadn’t misplaced since dealing with the good Floyd Mayweather all the best way again in 2013. Such issues can impression the psyche. But much more telling may be the truth that GGG really appears to have the flexibility to get inside Canelo’s head. There may be real dislike between these two, and Canelo must be cool as ice come Saturday.

After all there’s speak that Canelo-GGG 3 is previous it’s promote by date. Maybe it’s previous its premium date however there’s little doubt that is exceedingly fascinating bout to see. Does GGG have it in him to drag off a win of this magnitude on the age of 49…and an excellent middleweight, no much less? Will Canelo have the ability to return to prime type, the type of prime type that had made him look almost invincible for the previous a number of years earlier than shedding to Bivol? These are questions price discovering the reply to.
