Who do you got?
I swore I wouldn't buy the rematch because the decision in the first fight was paid-for.
But I can't help myself.
I think this is going to be a very close and competitive fight.
GGG is a basic fighter in that he just comes at you and overpowers you with this strength, stamina and chin.
But he's 36 and father time catches up to everyone. I believe we saw a bit of that in the first fight already.
The first bout SHOULD have happened 2 to 3 years ago. If it did, GGG wins by KO IMO.
But I'm not sure about the rematch.
I could see it playing out similar to Lewis-Holyfield II. Lewis clearly won the first bout, but the 2nd was a lot closer than the scores showed. But I believe because of the horrendous scoring in their first fight, Lewis was given every round that was close so history wouldn't repeat itself.
I think that could happen here too. Saying that, DHL and Golden Boy have a lot of money and pull. If anyone is going to get the benefit of the doubt, it's Oscar and co.
His fighter failed a PED test twice and yet only got a 6-month sitdown.
As much as I've grown to despise Alvarez (ducking GGG, steroids), he's got very quick hands and is a great counter-puncher.
Without his PEDs I wonder if he's going to come in much smaller. If he does, you know he's going to get on his bike again.
GGG needs to adjust too. His trainer said that his fighter didn't do a good enough job to cut off the ring in the first fight because they weren't expecting Alvarez to run so much.
I imagine they'll work on that for the rematch.
In the end. I think Alvarez will likely make more adjustments for GGG. Golovkin is what he is.
But, if Alvarez is finally PED free and comes in smaller and weaker, GGG's power, heart and chin will have enough to overpower Alvarez.
But I could see Yellow pulling out a split-decision.
I hope not. GGG is the true warrior and honourable fighter of the two.
I'm also curious to see what happens to the loser of this fight. If GGG loses, I can see him walking away.
If Alvarez loses, his career is in jeopardy. I think he's peaked and if he can't beat a 36YO fighter out of his prime, he'll get starched by some of the other contenders at 160.
