Former world champions Barry McGuigan, Wayne McCulloch and
Raul Marquez made a prediction for the upcoming third fight between Mexican Canelo Alvarez (57-2-2, 39 KOs) and Kazakhstani Gennady Golovkin (42-1-1, 37 KOs), which will take place on the night of September 17-18 in Las Vegas (USA) .
All as one predict the victory of Alvarez, but in different ways.
“While I believe GGG has won both of their previous fights, he’s been in this game too long to pull a fight like this at 40 years old,” said Ireland’s former featherweight champion McGuigan. – Golovkin looked good against Murata, but it was noticeable that he missed a lot of punches from the Japanese fighter. Even though Canelo lost to the great Bivol, who moved and boxed beautifully, Golovkin cannot act the same way (like Bivol). What’s more, Alvarez made GGG move up to 76.2kg, which isn’t even a catchweight. In general, Saul has all the advantages. I foresee a victory for the Mexican on points or, quite possibly, a late stoppage.

“I think their fight will go all the way again,” suggested the former champion of the bantamweight division from Northern Ireland McCulloch. — GGG did not look his best in his last fight, even though he won. And Canelo lost. In my opinion, they both showed signs of aging. Canelo should have enough power left to outbox Golovkin but GGG will always be in the fight and I expect the rounds to be close. Canelo on points.”
“A good fight is better than a lot of people think. But a hungry Canelo is a dangerous Canelo. I bet on his victory with a late stop, ”the Mexican Marquez, who was the world champion in the first middleweight, succinctly outlined his position.
