They threw nearly the same amount of punches with Lara landing slightly more. I’m no fan of runners but Canelo didn’t know how to cut off the ring. He didn’t learn from the Mayweather loss the year prior. Lara connected with some beautiful 1-2-1 combos
his jab off the cross
I knew Erislandy would not get no decision though
if they did it on Floyd, a random Cuban boxer pffft
Erislandy screwed himself with the excessive running
against a guy who they were grooming hard to become the face of boxing
his corner needed to yell at him
I like movers but Lara that night showed me the difference between boxing VS RUNNING
Paulie who was on the broadcast and defends boxers even said Lara was doing a combination of boxing and RUNNING

Golovkin won the first two, 115-114 or 116-112. Canelo waited too long for the third fight until GGG was past it. Felt Lara did enough to win also. Erislandy screwed himself with the excessive running

ggg had Alvarez number like Kenny Norton did Ali
dont think so
i think most versions of themselves would have close hard fights between them with a round or so the difference in the end
8-4 GGG in the 1st fight
8-4 GGG in the 2nd fight
A reminder how the majority of the public, fighters & journalists saw both fights

Alvarez has two flaws
cement feet
and stamina
Mayweather exploited flaw 1. Ggg took advantage of flaw 2
and Bivol capitalized on both
8-4 GGG in the 1st fight

from what i can remember of fight 2 i think ggg had a great rally at some point when it looked like canelo was trying to pull away but he bit down on his gumshield and gritted it out, that might have been underappreciated
actually, i also remember canelo (and his fans) being the ego manic that he is gleefully declaring he is the better man, the fight was very close competitive to the end if i rememberthey must have been surprised at how competitive fight 3 was then
8-4 instead of Alvarez completely whooping ggg

Alvarez would have two to four more official losses from ggg Lara Trout
Alvarez would not appear so atg with this record

Golovkin won the second fight 116-112, or 8-4 in rounds. This narrative of Canelo "bullying the bully" is nonsense, the entire fight was fought at center ring and it was probably the best Golovkin boxed in his career. Practically nobody scored it for Canelo at the time btw, that's just a myth that continues to grow. It was every bit the robbery the first fight was.
GGG won the first fight but it wasn’t a very satisfying victory. Canelo landed the better shots but gassed and got outworked by GGG.
Canelo won the 2nd one imo.
GGG total domination fight 1
... time gap and Canelo tested positive twice for PEDs
GGG wins fight 2 (Canelo did better than first fight, obviously GGG getting older as well).
^^ As the marketing narrative all about Canelo, of course they try and justify him winning as he did better but fights aren't scored that way at all. I think the most telling fact was that something like 2 from 51 journalists had the second fight for Canelo...suffice said.
Canelo wins fight 3 - I didn't even watch it as GGG was 41 and practically retired (cash out fight for GGG).
Forget Disable Sanchez’s Mexican style bs
from a purely boxing perspective GGG won both fights.
first fight was 8-4
2nd fight was 7-5. Ggg boxed behind a jab. Keep in mind he knows Canelo was juiced to the ears. He was caught doing a cycle just before their fight lmfao
i had ggg winning the first, canelo the next 2, havnt watched no2 in a long time but i dont remember canelo losing that one to my eyes anyway but some do so i should really rewatch but just too lazy
