Was at a fight party so I missed all the NSB back-and-forth.
Golovkin looked exactly like DLH at the end of his run - "couldn't pull the trigger", as Roach famously said.
A shame we didn't get the rematch right after the second fight, but honestly the takeaway from this fight is that both guys needed this to put the past behind them and end the bad blood. GGG has now truly passed the torch to Canelo and it happened the right way.
It was a beautiful moment in the 8th or 9th when Golovkin reached out to touch gloves Alvarez initially refused, and but GGG kinda left his glove out there and finally Canelo changed his mind and touched gloves. You really felt the ice breaking between them the last three rounds even though they were lighting each other up.
The post fight was downright emotional.
Shoutout to both guys.
