Boxing Match of the Year is Rematch of Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin

Two of the best pound for pound boxers will square off in a Middleweight rematch Saturday night as Canelo Alvarez (49-1-2; 34 KOs) takes on Gennady Golovkin- GGG (38-0-1; 34 KOs). It was almost one year ago when these fighters met and in that match GGG tired in the later rounds and Alvarez took advantage. Even though most people thought Golovkin was the clear winner, the judges did not see it that way and the result was a draw.

Since then Alvarez, the younger fighter at 28 has failed two drug tests which forced the postponement of this match that was originally scheduled for May. Because he’s coming off suspension he has no current rankings.

Bet on Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin vs Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez at Bovada Sportsbook.

Golovkin is 36 years old, eight years Alvarez’ senior, but he comes into the fight as the #1 ranked ranked middleweight fighter and the #1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world.

Alvarez’ only loss was to the undefeated Floyd Mayweather and that came back in 2013 when he was just 23 years old. After beating a fading Miguel Cotto for the Middleweight title in 2015, he essentially avoided fighting any more true fighters in his class for two years, until agreeing to last year’s match with Golovkin.

His stamina is legendary and in the first match he was able to absorb GGG’s blows and fight back at the end to earn the draw.

GGG is one of the most powerful pound-for-pound boxers of all time and he’ll be looking to take advantage of an overly aggressive Alvarez as these fighters would like nothing more to knock the other out. The hatred is real and legacies are on the line.

The Bottom Line: Golovkin is -155 favorite to win and Alvarez +125 underdog. Golovkin has been looking to climb to the top of the mountain for a long time. Often avoided by champs, this is his moment.
The Pick Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin.

Other Prop bets: I think Golovkin knocks out Alvarez, but it’ll take some work, coming in the eighth round. As such:
Golovkin to win in rounds 7-9: +650
G. Golovkin by KO, TKO or DQ: +225
Will fight go distance? No: +170

Canelo Vs Ggg 2 Stats

• Canelo vs Golovkin 2 odds: Should betting lines be much wider for rematch?

So, you think middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin owned Canelo Alvarez last month despite the verdict?
And you expect Golovkin to be a much stronger favorite in the rematch?

… Not so fast.
Canelo vs Golovkin 1 odds
Prior to September's bout, Golovkin was the slight favorite, hovering around -151. Alvarez was the underdog at roughly +131.
Close betting lines.
However, although action-packed and competitive, some will assert the odds were closer than the fight itself.
Canelo vs GGG 2 odds (as of Oct 2017)
Early rematch odds label the champion as the favorite again at approximately -165 while Canelo is sitting around +135.

Should betting lines be closer for Canelo vs GGG 2? Should they be wider? Or are the betting lines well-placed?
While some will insist the rematch odds should be significantly wider in Golovkin's favor, the intangibles tell us otherwise.
The onus is on Golovkin... Again
As we projected prior to last month's meeting, a fight that was remotely close would favor Canelo, the A-side fighter. In high-profile boxing, the A-side fighter wins a competitive bout 4 of 5 times. (There’s no fixing. That’s simply how it is)
Given Canelo vs GGG was officially a draw, it’s not difficult to see that Alvarez enjoyed the benefit of the doubt in difficult-to-score rounds on judges' cards. Thus, as the A-side fighter, Alvarez entered the bout with a small, unofficial scoring advantage and will do so again in the rematch.
To beat a more popular foe on the big stage, the other guy must usually score a knockout or win on points very comfortably ie. Rigondeaux vs Donaire (2012) or, more recently, Garcia vs Broner.
The first fight - and boxing history - suggest that if Golovkin doesn't score a knockout or clearly and decisively separate himself from Canelo, we are likely to see one of the following results (in order of probability) for the rematch:

1) A wide or narrow Canelo win
2) Another draw
3) A split or majority decision for GGG
Hence, even if Golovkin wins 117-111 on most experts' cards, he'll, at best, probably be awarded a narrow (or split) decision by the judges.

It would behoove Gennady to score one or two 2 point rounds via a knockdown and/or battering Canelo from pillar to post in one or more of the stanzas, as a 10-8 Golovkin round would take some of the pressure off GGG.
GGG is being forced to win two in a row
Gennady Golovkin mighy the world's best boxer but defeating Canelo Alvarez in back-to-back fights is no easy task for anyone.
Canelo's handlers forced Team Golovkin to accept a rematch clause prior to the first fight knowing the odds Alvarez would win 1 of 2 versus Golovkin were much better than his winning a lone fight.

Essentially, we shouldn't be evaluating odds for Canelo vs Golovkin 2 as a single fight; We should be asking ourselves: What are the odds of GGG getting the better of Canelo in back-to-back fights?
And let’s not forget, Canelo has a great team and they will have made adjustments for the rematch based on what happened in the first fight. How many adjustments will GGG's team make? Given last month’s strategy seemed to work (despite the faulty verdict), they might not change their approach much and simply hope the scoring is better the second time around.
Canelo vs GGG odds
Most of us saw Golovkin 'defeat' a very game Canelo in what may have been the latter's most impressive performance as a pro. However, given the above intangibles, the betting lines should remain close for the rematch. In fact, don't be surprised if the odds are even at fight time.
While Golovkin should have been awarded last month's bout, there's no reason to make him a strong favorite in the rematch.
The rematch odds are well-placed thus far.
