Canelo vs GGG 3 Betting Analysis
It makes sense that this bout is favored to go the distance considering their first two fights both went to the judges’ scorecards. Also, both warriors have showcased incredible durability and their iron chins have been showcased in their series of bouts as well as in their broader combative careers.

That being said, I do think there are some ingredients here where this bout is the exception to the rule, localized to their series. I think this one will actually end inside the distance and the judges will not play a role in the outcome of this trilogy affair.
Pick: No (+120)

Decision Odds Favor Canelo
There is as close to zero chance as there can possibly be for GGG winning by way of decision. The first two Canelo vs Golovkin clashes saw Alvarez win in a pair of controversial decisions where many thought Golovkin should have won both via points on a level of athletic merit. Canelo Alvarez being the number one box office star in Boxing informed that in the eyes of many and will especially inform this bout as GGG is in the final years of his career while Canelo looks to have viable drawing potential for much longer down the line.

Considering the preternatural resilience of Golovkin, I understand why oddsmakers favor a Canelo win by a decision as opposed to seeing a scenario where he halts GGG. I think there is tremendous underdog value on GGG winning via KO and if anyone can halt Canelo for the first time ever as a professional pugilist, it’s Golovkin.
Pick: Gennady Golovkin by KO, TKO, or DQ (+850)

When Does Canelo vs GGG 3 End?
The level of recency bias in this round betting breakdown on both sides is something to behold. It’s almost as if people are forgetting that Golovkin has the most middleweight knockouts in world title history and is one of the most accomplished KO artists of his generation on a pound-for-pound level. Also, I think fighting at 168 pounds for the first time ever instead of his usual efforts at 160 pounds will pay dividends for GGG at this juncture in his career.

In terms of when Golovkin gets it done, I can see it being in those middle to later rounds of the bout. Historically Golovkin has been known to collect intel on opponents in the earlier rounds to really position them in dangerous spots later in the contest. To that point, I can see Golovkin getting it done sometime between the seventh and ninth rounds of this prizefight.
Pick: Golovkin in round nine (+6500)
