Belew: Canelo beats Golovkin in trilogy

Tony Belew shares the point of view Timothy Bradley and believes that Golovkin will be severely beaten by Canelo in the third fight.

Gennady Golovkin (42-1-1, 37 KOs) won ahead of schedule Ryotu Muratu last weekend in Japan and added the WBA title to the IBF belt. Now it's up to Saul Alvarez (57-1-2, 39 KOs), who will fight the WBA light heavyweight champion on May 7 Dmitry Bivol (19-0, 11 KOs). If the Mexican wins, their third confrontation will take place on September 17th.

The first two fights took place in the middleweight division, the third will take place in the super middleweight limit. At 76.2 kg, all four belts belong to Alvarez. In their first duel, the judges counted a draw. In revenge, they saw the victory of the Mexican. However, to this day, many boxing fans believe that both fights should have been won by GGG, especially the first fight.

The boxer from Kazakhstan dealt with Murata ahead of schedule in the ninth round, but in the course of the fight, especially at the beginning, he missed a lot of punches. Earlier, after the confrontation with Sergey Derevyanchenko, there were voices of doubt about the current form of GGG.

“Golovkin looked terrible in the first part of the fight with Murata. Canelo will destroy him and eventually win ahead of schedule," Timothy Bradley said immediately after the Golovkin-Murata fight.

“In this fight, you could see that age is overtaking him and at times he looks defenseless. He was forced to retreat by a guy who is not known to hit hard. If I were Golovkin, I would stay away from Canelo, ”added the ex-world cruiserweight champion.

“Time spares no one, and this was evident in the last fight of Golovkin. It could end badly for him. This is not the boxer that before. I don't want Alvarez to beat him severely, but that's how it will end if it comes to their third fight," Belew said.
