We have enough threads arguing about the decision, so how about...

At the end of the fight I thought wow great fight and not a dull round. It was what the first fight should have been like. The thought that it was a robbery never even entered my head. I thought it was a close Canelo win could maybe even see a draw. I didn't score the fight though just my feelings. I didn't watch on HBO so I wonder how much that plays on peoples perceptions.

Damn, how was it watching it in the theatre? I was going to do that but got a bunch of things came up on Saturday. Always wanted to do that. And yeah, it was a great fight. Watching it live, it was razor close and I have no problem with the decision. No outrageous cards at least. It does bug me that every 'close' fight seems to go Canelo's way, and I would have preferred they gave it to Golovkin because I thought he fought a better fight. It really was terrific fight though - those chins are legit AF, and the skills were A class from both. Canelo improved significantly, but Golovkin did as well and was right there with him. The narrative before the rematch was 'Canelo is a runner, stand and fight' and 'Golovkin is a skill-less ape who can't fight going backwards'. Now look at how the stories have changed. It was great in the theatre I watched it in. For the record, I'm in Houston. Fans were respectful, overall. I heard many cheering for Canelo and/or Golovkin, or both, but more importantly, no boos or "**** ___!!!". Everyone got really hyped later in the fight (when it started turning up). ****, people started applauding after each round from like Rounds 8 and onwards when the fight starting getting really good, and of course, after the fight ended. No boos or anything, just respect. Boxing fans are some of the worst in any sport, but this crowd was actually really good.

Yeah was a good fight, it was a bit sad as a GGG fan seeing how much he has aged (he was breathing heavy in the 3rd or 4th round) but he showed heart and the will of a champion to fight back. And as much as I hate to admit it, Canelo was also very good, he stood his ground and threw some brilliant shots. He also recovered very quickly the few times he did seem hurt. I'ts also a bit sad that there hasnt been a single thread/comment that I have seen about the undercard fights. I thought chocolatito for example looked good and his fight was an entertaining one.

great fight, very close... this is one ill go back and watch here in there when chilling and listening to music

Agreed. It was a great fight. Miles better than the first.

I Don't think either of these guys will be the same after this fight. Someone said bring back 15 rounds. I don't reckon either guy would be able to be ok after 15 rounds of what we saw on Saturday. Any other fighter would of been put down by the bombs each guy was throwing. People use the term "Going Life or Death' when it comes to close fights. This fight was just that.

Nothing great. Canelo showed worse stamina than 36 year old fighter, again. Golovkin wasn't landing ANY body punches, basically nothing but jabs 2 questions need to be asked to Nell and ggg. For Nell it would be what his thoughts are on the fact most people in boxing had him losing. And for Ggg it would be why no body punches?

Great battle and was also on the highest skill level So true Man! That was some high level stuff. A level fighters using all their tools that they have learned. Both guys deserve tremedous respect.

We had two back two back great fights in porter/garcia and then this.

...we have one talking about how GREAT the fight was? Seriously, I thought it was much better than the first one. Both guys came to fight and deserve a round of applause regardless of the decision/who we thought won. That was a great fight and definitely took a lot out of both men. The movie theater I was in loved the fight and gave a great applause after a several of the last rounds & the end of the fight. Agree. It was a great fight. Who would’ve thought GGG could still make a late rally, damn that was great to see. The champ giving his all after looking like he’s done in the middle rounds. That was what made it dramatic imo, and why many fans thought GGG won.

Great fight and i was entertained, that's the main thing. Thought GGG deserved the win but i cannot knock Canelo. Both fought brilliantly. My only gripe with it was the inevitability of who was going to win on the cards, even if it wasn't deserved, but that's a problem in boxing in general. Even if it was inevitable Canelo would get a decision, he truly come to win this time, so i can only respect that.

Yeah, canelo probably took a few years off his career in this one.. dude stood right in front of ggg the entire fight. Reminded me of Chico corrales going thru hellfire vs Castillo the chins, breh. love those mfers.

amazing when you consider how brutal the second half of the second fight was. i haven't seen two guys hit each other that hard for that sustained of a period for a while. there are only so many times you can draw from the well and do that.

It was a really good fight, Canelo showed a lot of balls coming forward. I still think he lost the fight, but much respect to him for conducting himself like he did last night.

That is only true for people with a very shallow interest. this. the reaction to this fight shows me just how casual most of the bscene population really is. that was a very close fight. i thought the right man won. it was certainly not a robbery. golovkin doesn't storm out of the ring without an interview without a robbery. i'm disappointed that he didn't stick around to talk to max after what will probably be the most memorable moment in his career. that was a truly classic fight and i really hope that doesn't get lost in all of this. the whole world got a chance to see a classic, we should be celebrating it. not letting a lune like teddy atlas shift the narrative away from the greatness of the fight.

Both of them deserve another payday. Get that trilogy Triple G and call it a day win, lose or draw.

I thought both fights were great fights. Rematch was much more brutal, hats off to both guys, I’m shocked nobody has been dropped in 24 rounds amazing when you consider how brutal the second half of the second fight was. i haven't seen two guys hit each other that hard for that sustained of a period for a while. there are only so many times you can draw from the well and do that.

History doesn't remember the scale of the battle but how it ends. That is only true for people with a very shallow interest.

Excellent fight fought at the highest level. Both guys showed guts and incredible chins. Golovkin looked way sharper in the rematch and Canelo wisely didn't repeat his ill advised rope a dope strategy. He eliminated a lot of the wasted movement he used in the first fight and he got his jab working. Golovkin showed some really beautiful combinations at close range. Just a great fight
