    But how do their styles match up?

    I have read that Canelo is a great counter puncher.

    GGG does have some real pop it sounds like.

    Teddy Atlas seemed to think that has faded.

    pretty much this. boxing's corrupt and if GGG isn't convincing if it goes to the cards, i'm scared canelo will get a decision.

    Canelo is a great counter puncher. If he can take GGG power, I would not be surprised if Canelo outboxes him to a decision. Its definitely possible GGG has faded in the past two years. Make sense why Golden Boy finally got the fight done to give their guy the edge.

    This fight is going to be like Brian Viloria vs Giovani Segura. Segura is GGG and Canelo is Viloria.

    Segura was a pressure fighter and the closest thing to GGG in any division. He would maul you. Viloria was a vet who knew how to box. Segura got dropped.

    You probably don't know about these guys because they were minimum weight fighters.

    firstrowsports brah. Go to one of the later links (they have 8) and you should be good with traffic.

    They just did 3 anthems lol. Fight about to start.

    Btw, am I the only one that can't think of Kazakhstan without thinking of Borat?

    Looks like GGG will win easily by decision. Neither boxer have enough power to hurt the other and he's MUCH more active than Canelo....but Canelo is making a lot more highlight reel stuff, too bad it's not really doing anything.
