Why Bet on Canelo Álvarez
Álvarez, despite losing to Dmitry Bivol last May, is still in his prime.
We saw two different versions of Álvarez in their two-fight series heading into this clash.
In their first bout, “Canelo” came in bulked up with the intent to muscle out Golovkin, a strategy that saw him gassed after four rounds and needing judicial intervention to escape with a draw.
The rematch saw Álvarez closer to what we see him today as he used pinpoint counters, combinations, and ring generalship to earn a close decision win.
Canelo needs to rely on body punching and timing Golovkin’s jab-heavy offense with a counter right hand, and then let his footwork and upper-body movement avoid his opponent’s charges.
Why Bet on Gennadiy Golovkin
Golovkin wasn’t as varied in his approach in both fights.
His tried-and-true pressure style can help him keep up with Álvarez, but the outcome of the second fight determined that he’s not likely to overtake him now.
While Golovkin has a cast iron jaw and excellent conditioning, he’s moving up in weight for the first time in his career to face an opponent who is better than the man who beat him four years ago.
Golovkin has to find a way to limit Alvarez’s movement without sacrificing too much of his energy should the fight head to the later rounds.
That said, Gennadiy has unified titles at middleweight since their last fight and likely still runs through the division even in his advanced age.
Final Betting Analysis – Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennadiy Golovkin
Golovkin is now in his 40s and though he is still a force of nature in his advanced age, he’s slower to get in gear as seen by his struggles against Sergiy Derevyanchenko and Ryota Murata.
The switch to trainer Johnathan Banks has only contributed to his decline by making him fight at a slower pace.
There’s little doubt that Golovkin will be ready and strong at 168, and Álvarez is an easy assignment for him considering their history.
However, Álvarez is physically at his best right now and has evolved even further since their two previous controversial bouts.
We’ve seen him tear through 168 and 175, and Golovkin isn’t going to show him anything he hasn’t seen before.
While this fight has the potential to deliver the action, the conclusion doesn’t seem to be in doubt.
Canelo has become a better fighter by developing his skill set to compete at a higher weight, whereas Golovkin remains his familiar, formidable self.
We need to note that these two also don’t like each other.
And even though it’s been a while, expect hostilities to resume like it was yesterday.
