GGG -350 Canelo +265 yikes..

[xhiddenx87]

I assume they'll turn all the TV cameras 90º so it looks like Canelo is upright and GGG rolling around on the floor. Canelo by KO, place your bets!

hahahahahahahahahahaha that was a good one!

[boliodogs]

No, that's about the right odds. Most fans and experts and odds makers expect GGG to win but they know Canelo is a live underdog.

That's an attractive price for Canelo. I think Dwyer will be picking Canelo by KO with the decision as a hedge.

I think he'll go Golovkin straight with Canelo by KO, because his logic is almost always flawed.

That's a nice line. GGG being the favorite doesn't surprise anyone. I think people get confused and think lines are set depending on who will win. If that were the case the Khan-Canelo line would've been a lot wider. Lines are set to make sure the bookies don't lose a lot of money. They knew a lot of money would be coming in on Khan. So they set the line so that if something crazy did happen they wouldn't lose their shirts.

Floyd was -240 against Hatton and -700 against Cotto. Is Hatton a better fighter than Cotto? No. Hatton was also coming up in weight. Against Cotto, Floyd was moving up in weight. Hatton's line was closer because of his fanbase. Those Brits love to bet & Hatton's base was huge. The bookies had to make it close just in case something crazy happened and Floyd lost.

Doesn't surprise me too much.

A lot of fans on this site try to make Canelo out to be this boxing, counter-punching wizard and the most skilled fighter in boxing ever since Floyd retired.

Once GGG knocks him out, people will just bring up Ward again and Canelo will go back to feasting on 140/147 guys. I'm sure Bradley, Ruslan, and Matthysse are getting primed as Canelo's next opponents.

Agreed.

Even with Canelo's "experience" he will still come up short against GGG. I actually think GGG has MUCH better boxing skills and Ring IQ than Canelo.

We've seen what GGG is capable of vs LeMule, we have yet to see anything close to that level from Canelo. He could probably school Canelo using mostly just his jab. How many fights has this man been in (am & pro)? Still never even been knocked down.

Only advantage Canelo has is Youth, which allows him to drain so much.. but he can't keep it up forever and is likely already struggling.. but who knows? maybe cutting the 155 BS would actually benefit him at this point.

[HanzGruber]

Also, that's going to put Canelo somewhere in the neighborhood of like +500 to win by decision. And we all know if Canelo stays upright, he has a chance to win on the cards, regardless of how the fight plays out.

yup lol if this is in texas especially im betting canelo all day

[krazyn8tive]

I never understood that plus minus stuff. What does this mean?

According to the opening line, GGG is a 3.5 to 1 favorite

A breath of fresh air. This guy gets it.

Canelo got some skills. I am disappointed how he acting but sorry he does. His speed and countering is impressive.

[Boxfan83]

Alvarez will not win this fight unless he displays much better stamina than he ever has. He can make Golovkin miss, he can counter him, he can move, he can land great shots, but he has never shown he can do so consistently for 3 minutes of a round.

Golovkin will make him pay for that above all else.

I agree, funny thing is coming in at 160 would do him better in the stamina department.
