Here is how I think it goes:
The first half of the fight GGG fights behind the jab and fights the way he did in the Lemieux fight. Canelo lands a few good combos while countering and it's 3-3 at the half.
Somewhere around that midway point though Gennady lands a good shot that makes Canelo stumble a bit towards the ropes, causing GGG to go into attack mode. From there the firework filled war begins. Both guys will land big shots and it will be exciting til the finish.
Either round 9 or 10 GGG puts Canelo on the mat for the first time in his career, Canelo gets up but only makes it's another minute before being put down again. He still gets up but is clearly in over his head at that point taking huge flush shots while trying to retreat. He has too much pride to quit so his corner does for him.
Great fight that lives up to the hype and raises both fighters profiles.
War GGG!!!
And
War Boxing!!! We get what we wanted tonight fellas, hope you all enjoy it.
