Comments Thread For: Daily Bread Mailbag: Canelo vs. Golovkin Trilogy, Spence-Crawford, More

My brain says Canelo by clear decision. My heart wishes a miracle KO win by GGG. I hope that Canelo's arrogance and willingness to knock GGG out causes him to make some mistake and get punished, but to be honest it's highly unlikely...

That's how I see it but any edge I have in betting on boxing (which isn't to say much at all) is betting against the older inactive fighters when they come up against a young rising star. But Canelo is much more than a star and Golovkin isn't just any old and inactive champion. I'd like triple G to win but I see him getting stopped (perhaps towel) or losing a wide decision

That guy who didn't like the 20-0 ring guys who took Canelo won't like this any better...

All true, however I also consider Canelo's constant weight fluctuation, which could take a toll on him sooner or later, and also the very bad impression he left in the Bivol fight, where he looked sloppier than usual.

On the other hand, his current behavioral aggressiveness tells me that he's well juiced - again. So yes, there's a good chance for him to stop GGG, unless the latter has found some miracle PED himself...

1 out of 10 ppl are taking GGG...

I certainly believe that GGG is fading and Canelo should be a clear favorite but I dropped 50$ to win 420$ on GGG thanks to a 100% percent profit boost from draftkings. This is not a plug for them, lol but the odds are too good to pass up. Is it fifty drown the drain? Perhaps but that's the nature of ********. I'll sit back with a few whiskeys and enjoy the evening nonetheless.

I know bread was making the reference to the Trinidad fight being postponed due to 9/11 because that's probably what first popped his head when needing a comparison to the Shields fight being postponed, that said in the case of 9/11, that was a horrific day in our history and warranted these postponement or cancelation. I really hope he wasn't comparing that tragedy to postponing events due to the death of a 96 year old who lived a very good life living off taxpayer money and colonized and persecuted people. I respect other countries traditions or whatever you want to call this, but let's keep it real, her death does not warrant any postponement and the fact that the media wants to make her out to be some kind of saint, is ridiculous beyond belief.....

Which countries did the Queen colonize? Tell me everything about her involvement.

Bookies hate to lose - when they give these odds boosters it's often because they know the result already. Seen it a few times and I always bet against what they are offering - normally it is a free bet if your bet loses

Hold up!! All the big money is on Golovkin ! 10% of the bets produces 40% of the handle .... is that normal?

For every $1000 bet there are 90 Canelo bets at an average of $6.67 [90 x $6.67 = $600]
For every $1000 bet there are 10 Golovkin bets at an average of $40 [10 x $40 = $400]

These are average size bets - but can those figures be conclusive proof that the bigger 'smart money' is on Golovkin?

If you want to see what makes Terence Crawford special...watch his fights against Jose Benavidez and Hank Lundy?

Man, if that doesn't say it all about Crawford's resume then I don't know what does.

Both fighters did VADA for this fight.

I see what u mean. I don’t think u can jump the gun on bread’s thoughts on 9-11 or even the death of the queen’s and the actions occurring after that from a few sentences. Like I can’t judge that maybe he was just respectful to a country’s action after a queen dies and just shared a singular personal experience.
