    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.

      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.

        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 remember

          had there been no a-side favors

          Alvarez would have two to four more official losses from ggg Lara Trout

          Alvarez would not appear so atg with this record

            they must have been surprised at how competitive fight 3 was then

            8-4 instead of Alvarez completely whooping ggg

              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

                    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

                      1 Obviously Golovkin

                      2 Golovkin. Close fight.

                      3 Obviously Canelo
