Jim Gray: Golovkin will have to knockout Canelo to win
Showtime interviewer Jim Gray says Gennady Golovkin should have been given a victory in his first fight against Saul Canelo Alvarez last September, and he believes the only way he can beat the popular Golden Boy star is if he knocks him out in their rematch on September 15.
Gray is picking Canelo to win the fight because he doesn’t think GGG has any chance of knocking him out. Gray didn’t say whether he thinks Canelo is too big physically or too big of a cash cow money fighter for Nevada and the sport of boxing as a whole to be beaten by decision. If Canelo can’t be beaten by decision due to his popularity, then Golovkin is going to be in a tough spot on September 15.
