I've heard a pretty distressing rumour that GGG has a pretty bad injury, potentially career derailing. Nothing concrete has emerged though.

Both fighters bring enough unknowns that it's sort of hard to say until it happens.

Joshua - Is he proven? Wins have steadily increased in quality without dipping in decisiveness, but he's yet to notch a win that obviously puts him at the top. The Whyte win looks the best in retrospect.
Wlad - Is he shot? It's hard to say what were the biggest factors in the Fury loss. The skills of Fury? The bad style matchup? The age of Wlad? The physical matchup, with Fury being a rare taller opponent?

If Wlad's troubles were due to the size or his own aging, AJ should win here. If it's about the style matchup, things look a little better for him since AJ uses the kind of textbook style he knows how to deal with.

It's a classic case of How much does he have versus how much does he have left. It should absolutely one of the biggest heavyweight fights of the decade, but it's undercut only by the Fury fight casting a huge amount of doubt on Klitschko.

that's what i thought. i'm inclined to throw a few bucks on wlad, as he's a significant underdog.

Seriously, look at this loving card:

Srisaket Sor Rungvisai vs Roman Gonzalez, super flyweights, 12 rounds; Naoya Inoue vs Antonio Nieves, super flyweights, 12 rounds; Carlos Cuadras vs Juan Francisco Estrada, super flyweights, 12 rounds.

If the fight is at 130 I don't see Rigo faring well. Has he ever even fought above 122?

i thought they'd probably split the difference at 126 but we'll see. if it's at 130 loma will be tough to deny but if it's less than that then i don't know. rigo is one intelligent mother fucker.

if it's not at 130 then i could definitely see it. if he can successfully shut down loma, it'll be a career defining performance for sure, and he can make it as boring as he likes imo.

it could definitely be may / pac in terms of watchability. but i honestly think that even if rigo wins, loma is more than savvy enough to make him really loving work for it so i'm cautiously optimistic.

i'm super pumped for the golovkin fight. when it was announced i had it like 70-30 golovkin but i think it's more 60-40 now due to reflections on ggg's recent fights.

plural? i thought jacobs was the only guy who made ggg look less than a killer and he has several attributes that i'd credit for that performance that canelo doesn't have.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gykpVko-omE - Under the Lights Canelo-Golovkin (probably not available outside the US :( )

i am pretty loving hyped for this.

bernard hopkins and mayweather both pick canelo, and although i originally liked ggg, someone pointed out that the only boxers that gave alvarez trouble were defensively brilliant fighters in lara and mayweather.

the thing is though, i'm not sure that ggg can't out-box canelo if he chooses to not go full destructo as he's done with basically every other fighter who's got in there with him and just concentrates on racking up rounds... could he do that?

whatever. all i know is that if canelo wins, he will have to absorb a career-shortening amount of damage to get it.

my first watch i had it 10-2 ggg (which i still consider a reasonable card), but upon rewatch this morning 8-4. 7-5 ggg if you gave canelo every round he was remotely competitive in. you have to see poo poo that isn't there to score a draw, and a canelo win is out of the question in my opinion but hey. hopefully canelo goes for the rematch, but i've got a sneaking suspicion he doesn't want to do that again. happy to be wrong.

if canelo isn't willing to trust his chin will stand up to some of golovkin's best shots or he'll gas again. he used way too much energy avoiding being hit. great for staying alive, not great for winning fights. canelo had to box perfectly to win the rounds he did, and most of them were razor close. he needs to be on the front foot for way longer in the next fight, and i do believe he can do it, but golovkin only needs one.
