Forecast and thoughts about the third fight
shared the legendary American coach Freddie Roach: “The main event will turn out well. They will meet for the third time. And both previous fights were very spectacular. Yes, Golovkin will re-enter the ring. Canelo? Oh that’s a cool dude! Gained huge such new muscles. I have absolutely no idea where these come from. Probably some cool store. I wish I had access to this. I hope everything is fair.”
“The fight will turn out cool,” Roach is sure. — Youth and speed against power. You know, both youth and speed are cool. But in such a battle, power can be decisive – do not forget that in previous battles they were chopped bone to bone. For the same reason, I am satisfied with the third fight. For that reason, I expect him to be cool again.”
