Canelo and Reynoso haven't waited 4 years because they think Golovkin won't have declined from 2018. They know that Gennadiy will be 40 and have a lot of miles on the clock (i.e. into his 17th year as a pro, 42 - 1 -1 pro record, 345 - 5 amateur record) and consequently will be at a big disadvantage fighting a prime Canelo, especially at 168lbs.
IMHO Golovkin won their two previous fights, even though he wasn't in his prime, but he will most likely lose this one (genuinely this time) and if so Canelo, and of course his fanboys, will be able to claim that Golovkin was unable to beat him in their 3 fights. An accurate claim according to the record books - it's this kind of situation that makes me sometimes hate boxing.
I gave GGG the second fight as his jab is almost a power punch, it's a Holmes-like ramrod of a jab, and Canelo walked into it all night even when GGG was on the back foot. By the end of the fight Canelo's face looked like he'd fell asleep in the Sun lol.
As far as I'm aware the Spence vs Ugas fight won't be broadcast in the UK.
If that's the case UK fight fans will have to hope it ends up on YouTube the following day.
Early thoughts on Golovkins chances in a trilogy bout should Cinnamon get past Bivol which I don't think is a given?
Hard, hard fight.

I thought GGG definitely won the first fight. I and most ringside media had the second fight a draw.
That's fair enough Dan, I can understand that.
