Lee Gormley relishing the gruelling evolution from boxing writer to pro fighter ‘Canelo has got to be a big favourite this time around even though he is coming off a loss, as Golovkin is now 40 and doesn’t look to be the same fighter as he once was at the peak of his powers. Prediction? Canelo win Carl Frampton – former world champion Golovkin is going to try his hardest to f***ing put him out but I think Canelo wins.’ ‘I just think Canelo is at a better time age and career-wise vs Golovkin. ‘Also he started much smaller so it’s not going to play too much of a role. ‘Canelo has fought at a higher weight class, but he’s not a big dude naturally. That doesn’t play too much because they already fought each other twice. ‘I think it’s a good fight, but I think Canelo takes it. Prediction? Canelo win Mikey Garcia – former world champion I think it’s only a matter of time in this one.’ ‘I haven’t seen the same out of GGG, so I do think Canelo is going to win this fight. I think Canelo has continued to challenge himself, continued to grow and evolve as a fighter since their last fight, which was in 2019, 2018, something like that. Prediction? Canelo win Shawn Porter – former world champion The man is 40 years of age, and you can’t really expect him to roll back the clock to five or 10 years ago when he was at his best. Prediction? Canelo win Billy Joe Saunders – former world champion and Canelo opponent ‘By speed, counter punches and combinations, so he’s not going to withstand the onslaught of the Mexican.
‘In the second fight with Golovkin he showed that he can beat him in the centre of the ring, in the second fight he deciphered his style and he’s going to beat him. ‘It’s motivating for Canelo to have lost to Bivol, because another defeat for a fighter like him would not be good. Prediction? Canelo win Juan Manuel Marquez – former world champion I just feel like Canelo is the fresher guy that hasn’t been in that many wars.’ ‘He was in the same Olympics as me in ’04. No disrespect to Triple G – what a beast he is – but you’ve got to remember he’s getting older, and he’s been in the game for a long time. I think in that fight, I could see Canelo.
