Las Vegas is ready to welcome the boxing world for Canelo vs. GGG, but with a venue like Sin City, we have to look at the prop bets for the fight.

The wait is almost over for Canelo vs. GGG. Fans have been clamoring to see Alvarez and Golovkin stand in opposite corners of the ring for quite a while now. Whereas Golovkin has long been a stalwart and unstoppable force, Alvarez is a seasoned youngster ready to surely cement himself as a legend in the sport if he can take down his greatest foe.

GGG is surely the greatest foe that has ever been placed before Canelo. Even though Alvarez faced Floyd Mayweather, in terms of timing and weight, this fight on Saturday, Sept. 16 is the one that everyone will remember. Not only are we talking about wins and losses, but also about styles.

Alvarez has made his living off power and counter-punching, but he’s never been in the ring with someone that has the power that Golovkin has. 33 knockouts in 37 fights is no joke at all. At the same time, however, GGG has never faced someone with the precision and technical ability that Canelo will hit him with.
