Looked like Canelo took a pay off with a guarantee.

But, I doubt he stays at Jr Middlweight much longer.

I agree that the fight wasn't as lopsided and dominate as many said. I even heard some people say they thought it was Floyd's greatest performance ever. No way. The Corrales performance still tops that list easily.

Every criteria of the scoring, Mayweather ticked all the box's.
Very difficult to give him a round.
Anyways, I even re-watched the final round, still not seeing how Mayweather could've won the 12th. Compubox says he landed more, but 75% of total landed (15/38) were jabs, meanwhile close to 85% of Alvarez punches total landed punches (9/41) in the 12th were power shots. Mayweathers punches weren't very clean in this round either, and his clear unwillingness to even attempt to engage didn't help him.Last edited by T18Z; 09-22-2013, 08:47 AM.

Originally posted by T18Z View PostNah, in round 4 they both threw and landed the same amount of punches, however Mayweather landed more jabs while Alvarez landed more power punches. Also, your last two points are honestly the same thing, rendering someones offense ineffective is pretty much the definition of an effective defense, there's no difference.

I'm going though the scoring criteria.
"Effective aggression" and "Defense" are two of the criteria.
