Bradley says GennadyGolovkin "looked terrible" vs Ryota Murrata and would be brutally KOed in Canelo Trilogy, ex-champion Bradley

GENNADY GOLOVkin will be knocked out of the game by Canelo Avarez, according Tim Bradley. Bradley was not impressed by Triple G's victory over Ryota Murata.

The veteran, aged 40, returned to the ring in Saitama (Japan) for the IBF/WBA middleweight unification match. He won a ninth round victory over his opponent.

The Kazakh-born fighter was lethargic during the first four rounds, as he struggled to win.

Golovkin may face the Mexican on September 17 if Canelo defeats Dmitry Bivol, WBA light-heavyweight champion on May 7th.

American Bradley thinks he'd be a good fit for the 31-year old.

Fighthype reported that Golovkin, 38, said that he was going to take down Golovkin.

"I thought Golovkin looked awful at the beginning, but then he closed strong at the ending, which I think is great.

It showed him that he is very fit. He can still fight. Yes, he still has some power.

"Punch placement and I saw some good movement from him. Canelo, however, is a man on a different level for Golovkin.

Bradley answered a question about whether he thinks it would benefit him to lift his weight to 168 pounds in order to face Canelo.

Bradley said, "It's an entirely different animal." It is his first fight [GGG] at 168 pounds.

Canelo has fought at that same weight as 175. You can do it, dog. So, I see him beating Golovkin [Canelo] and stopping him at last."

Bradley believes Canelo has a plan to defeat him.

He said, "You saw it in his fight against Murata early on, Murata was going to the body and pushing he back,"

"That's exactly what Canelo will do. He will press ahead [against Golovkin].

He's a bit slippier than Murata, but he's still a lot slippier than Murata. His kill shots will be over the top, right and left hooks. He will set him up.

"I believe Canelo is conditioning wise at his peak right now. He's fighting at the peak.

"I see him stopping [Golovkin], bro and if he does not stop him, he will hurt him really badly in later rounds for sure."
