Canelo and Triple G - Who Had The More Impressive Performance?

GGG gave up trying to cut the ring off,

Canelo's defense on the ropes against someone who cuts the ring off and stalks like GGG was very impressive. Golovkin's chin and how he continued to walk Canelo down after taking big shots was also impressive.

Golovkin. His defense is very under rated and even coining forward was able to make Canelo miss by what seem like several inches at times. The guy is truly a talented boxer. His jab as alway was spot on, even against the suppose defensive wizard Canelo.

Canelo's heart, chin and feet impressed me but he lost clearly and looked very flawed

Canelo ran the majority of the bout. GGG pressed him and made the fight happen, he clearly won 8-4. This is pro boxing not amateur boxing without GGG pressing there would be very little confrontation. Just because a fighter is competitive doesn't mean the fight is close or won. Canelo did nothing to win and was protected from the loss with a draw! The 118-110 (10 to 2 score tells everyone that a "favor" was given Byrd is a taker and without Golden Boy I doubt she works with any consistency. It's shame that the new golden goose gets a pass with a draw when he clearly ran and never took over the play. He didn't fight "Mexican Style" he fought cautiously without any willingness took dominate. He lost! Ray

There was absolutely nothing impressive about Triple Gs performance. I dont know if its his age, or if he was overwhelmed by the occasion or was it because he was up against a elite fighter - be it a smaller fighter - but elite Triple G looks very beatable now...

I thought Canelo won. He should have been busier tho. I was also impressed with Golovkin, so much so that "Lil g" is gone forever out of my vocabulary. He fought an elite guy his own size and did well. Golovkin will make an appearance on my next P4P list. I'm keeping the sig pic doe...

Canelo. His footwork and lateral movement really impressed me actually. Not so 'cement footed' after all is he? He's always displayed good head movement, great upper body movement but I hadn't seen him utilise that kind of footwork before. If there was one thing that impressed me about GGG it was his stamina. He was relentless and missed a hell of a lot and that **** is super tiring but still he was throwing volume until the very end. I had him losing the championship rounds but from rounds 5-6 and on he seemed to get stronger.

Candelita was surely faster but got outboxed by a guy that the clowns on here call a face first brawler. GGG boxed her up, had her scared and running, taking naps along the ropes eating thudding power shots.

Easily canelo. GGG is supposed to be the big bad monster, the bigger puncher who was going to KO canelo. Yet he was missing badly, never hurt canelo and got his face all lumped up by the smaller man and actually outlanded by canelo in power shots. Very true I dont think GGG will fair well if he moves up

obviously Alvarez. GGG fans pre fight be like: ''Nelo isnt going to last...'' ''If GGG gets NElo on the ropes it's over' ''GGGs Jab'' ''Golovkin will unleash hell'' Alvarez took some jabs, yes, as if Byrd is going to give a timid jab performance to GGG over Nelo. lol I agree Triple G didnt look impressive at all, only thing you can say that was impressive about him was his ability to take a shot

Neither man impressed. And that's okay since it's hard to be impressive against another elite level boxer.
