Has the weight been confirmed yet?
If this is at 168 I fear GGG may get hurt really badly.
If it's at 160 (or even 165), then I think GGG can lose on his feet.

I hope I'm wrong, and I'm a big Golovkin slappy, but I don't see this ending with anything but retirement for him.

That’s a hell of a warmup bout but maybe like y’all said, GGG sees the writing on the wall.

No longer the best fighter from Kazakhstan

I think the official announcement was an hour ago. The bout will be September 17th at 168 pounds. Canelo opens as a sizable favorite;

Canelo -425 GGG +320

I'm not counting GGG out in this one even though he didn't look great in his last bout. That stuff gets thrown out the window when there's a rivalry between 2 fighters who are familiar with each other. I'm a little leary of Canelo going up in weight then immediately coming back down; It can often accelerate the aging process for a fighter once he hits his 30s. We'll see. I expect a highly competitive bout similar to the first 2 and, for what it's worth, I had GGG winning both of them

Great to see George Kambosos vs. Devin Haney will be on regular ESPN saturday, June 4th, live from Australia. This should be an exciting fight for the undisputed lightweight championship. I think Haney is the more skilled fighter, but Kambosos is a dedicated warrior who will be fighting in front of a home crowd. I'm picking Haney by a very narrow decision. I think his pure boxing skill will be enough to prevail.

Thats a smart move because there was no way he was immediately jumping back in with bivol!! thhe ggg fight will give him the money confidence and buildup to
the rematch!! GGG is faded he willmske it interesting for 5 rounds but its over after that!!

The problem is don’t think GGG can hurt him which a few years ago is something I thought I’d never say about any GGG opponent.
What about Romero demanding a rematch with Gervonta?

I agree at this point GGG might not have the speed or punch get off to even touch canelo to the point of hurting him!! Im def not paying for that money grab but its going to make loot because its a nostalgic trilogy!! as far as romero I do think he deserves a rematch but he is going about it all wrong!! I was very impressed with his improved movement and jab but what got him
was his inability to stay in that sharp focus mode he was in until the 5th !! he got sloppy with his head movement and did not snap his punches back for anticipation counters!! he in my opionion had davis where he wanted him but the difference is a champion stays focused for all 12 regardless of the situation davis timed that counter romero ran into it romero though shouldve been given a chance to go out on his shield!! rolly needs two fights and a rematch!! I would love to see tank vs teo!!
