We asked, you responded. Nearly three-quarters of you believe Golovkin will be the winner of tonight’s fight, with 36% saying he will finish it inside the distance and 36% predicting he will win on points. Far less optimism about Canelo, with 16% predicting he will win a decision and only 12% saying he will win by stoppage.
The public-address announcer says we’re less than 10 minutes from go time.
Here’s a look at the odds for tonight’s fight at the MGM Grand sports book. Golovkin has held as a solid -155 favorite (meaning a $155 bet would pay off $100), while Álvarez is a +125 underdog (meaning a $100 wager would return $125). Interestingly, the odds either GGG or Canelo to win the fight on points are an identical 2/1. The longest shot on the board? A first-round knockout by Álvarez would pay off 125/1. I’m just gonna go find a cash machine.
