PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL PREDICTS

SIX MORE YEARS AS WORLD CHAMPION

FOR GENNADY ā€œGGGā€ GOLOVKIN

GOBBLER’S KNOB (Groundhog Day 2018) – At 7:25 A.M. ET today, wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with #GGG20, Punxsutawney Phil — the Seer of Seers, Prognosticator of Prognosticators — emerged from his burrow at Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, PA, and proclaimed, in his native Groundhogese, that the fists of boxing’s superhero and World Middleweight Champion GENNADY ā€œGGGā€ GOLOVKIN would act as judge and jury in his Cinco De Mayo title defense rematch against two-division world champion Saul ā€œCanelo (Cinnamon)ā€ Alvarez.

ā€œIt will be six more years as world champion for Triple G. He is the Tom Brady of boxing. If he is using the TB12 Method, sign me up,ā€ said America’s most quotable quadruped. ā€œBeyond a shadow of a doubt, I predict that the fighter who fights like a Mexican — Triple G — is going to make the fighter who runs like Usain Bolt – Canelo — look like a jabroni in their rematch. Triple G is leaving the ring on May 5 with all his championship belts plus the one owned by Caneloā€˜s promoter’s magazine. There is no stopping the Triple G Express from its date with destiny – another victory over Canelo and his 20th and record-tying title defense. Cinnamon’s toast.ā€

Before returning to his burrow, Phil was pressed for a definitive answer on whether Canelo had a chance of dethroning GGG, who has reigned supreme over the middleweight division since 2010.

Quoth the groundhog, “Nevermore.”
