The Anatomy Of A Robbery: The Night Vegas Saved Canelo's Career

[Cypocryphy]

I think people forget how many people believed this fight to be a robbery. It is always overshadowed by the scorecard of Adelaide Byrd in the first fight, but I always thought that this fight was even worse, simply because Golovkin lost his belts.

I want people to pay attention to how DeepStrike weighs the impact of a punch. It is remarkably accurate.

Also, just for a historical perspective, this is how press row scored the fight:
