Canelo just won the weigh in 100%
Canelo looks significantly smaller than last time. I think he’ll hydrate to look better around the face but weird that he immediately took a pill and almost fell over when he sat down. His neck and shoulders much smaller.
If GGG starts quicker this time it will be hard for Canelo because it’s going to be hard to really hurt GGG off the juice unless GGG is totally reckless. I still think 4 rounds wins Canelo the decision but I see GGG looking confident and relaxed and Canelo having a different look about him.

I’m not so sure. He looked nervous and kind of showed GGG that by trying to push him then doing the fake hold me back stuff. Canelo MIGHT win (unfairly) but I think his confidence will be hurt knowing that he doesn’t have extra help. PEDs are 50% mental.
Come on IYN, you know boxing is a dirty sport, almost all top boxers will be on something. Canelo just messed up his cycle last time.
Anyway, Canelo got in Golovkin’s face and Abel didn’t like that one bit. Pretty weak that he had to protect his man asap.
Despite GGG winning that first fight, he never got close to knocking Canelo out. A massive amount of pressure in the middle rounds, but Canelo didn't look seriously hurt during that time and even come back pretty strong for the last 3 rounds. The only shot that wobbled a bit one of them was landed by Canelo somewhere in the 10th round.
Will be interesting to see which way it will go, but can't see a KO here and Golovkin probably needs one to win. Hope GGG will put that pressure right from the first round, though.
Edit: And yeah, Canelo did look smaller compared to the last weigh in.

Don’t understand why people cried robbery after the first fight. You may have scored it 7-5 or 8-4 for GGG (I scored it correct at 6-6), but he got a draw - that’s only a 1-2 round swing on your own scorecard and not exactly a robbery. Only reason people screamed the word robbery after the last fight is cause of Byrd’s scorecard; the actual result of the fight was fair. Golovkin had the volume, yes, but Canelo was landing the better blows over the 12 rounds. People just score rounds for pressure which isn’t right.
Anyway, Canelo looked the same size yesterday. He is the weigh in king, looks absolutely shredded no matter the weight.

Rumors circling that Floyd will make another comeback to fight pacman in December.......
Would watch just because it's Floyd.
Also if this happens, Amir Khan will need a new excuse not to fight Brook...

This indeed. Win win for me, would love to see both happen.
Can't wait for the boxing later.

Khan 
wasted several years of his career chasing Mayweather, and now looks like no Paq for him. Bet he's gutted, but serves him right for ducking Brook.
It's either Brook or retire.
Glad he has no other option now. Floyd has just saved British boxing.

How is Floyd running through €300m in 6 months
I think he just wants to take shine off of Oscar’s show tonight

Gambling problem?
So much for the PEDs wearing off, looks exactly the same as last year

Not so sure mate. Khan-Brook will be 2 terribly shop-worn fighters settling an argument that last had any ounce of credibility 3 years ago. Amir doesn't need another heavy ko and Kell doesn't need to endure 4 rounds of the fastest jabs to his eyes he'll endure before getting that inevitable ko.
Reckon it will be hard to get a river for this one in the UK?
Get the feeling Canelo will win by a dodgy decision and don't fancy lining the pockets for it.

Its free in Ireland for Eir customers so maybe that ups the chances of a stream?
Ooh good shout, cheers.
Alvarez's neck looks like it's missing a few inches. Lack of PEDs has clearly made a difference in his physique.
Expected fight time ?
5 to 6AM usually?
Really want to see this, but no way I'm going to be able to stay up til 5am. If I can't live stream I guess I'm screwed trying to find it online tomorrow?
Ring walks starting at 4am, hbo confirmed it.
Setting my alarm for 4am....not missing this, even though I’m up for Sunday league at 7:30

They have a spoiler free area "Video trading block", bookmark it tonight
You'll be able to download it off there in the morning
Thank you. Is it free? Just had such a tough day and week and much as I'd love to watch it live, it will screw me up badly for work on Monday even if I could stay the distance.
I find allthebestfights.com semi-reliable when I miss a fight. Don't look at the comments section on the right side of the screen at all costs as some arsehole will inevitably have spoilered it despite presumably having visited the fecking site to watch it spoiler free.
EDIT: Wasn't aware of the option @T_Model101 posted. Downloading it sounds far better!
Chocolatito fight has just started. Hope he can bounce back here and I expect him to win.
Great shot!
Arrgh just missed it playing Wolfenstein 2
(trying to stay awake)

Lights out there
I have a funny feeling that Canelo is going to knock GGG out and I think it will be the first 4 rounds. Hope I'm wrong but can't shake the feeling. Really hope is's the other way around though.
I also get the sense Canelo will try his best to come out strong and go for an early KO. If it doesn't work he will be fecked as GGG will take over.
Well that went better than against Rungvisai
Camelo hit GGG with his hardest punches and GGG didn't even blink.

I just hope its entertaining TBF. Not really a huge boxing guy but saw something on TV about this fight the other day (and the first one which looked quality) and it peaked my interest.
That was class from Chocolatito. Both the KO and the concern for his opponent afterwards.
