this was cotto vs margarito 1 all over again, minus the plaster of course..
who would've thought canelo had footwork like that..he surprised me. he was on his toes boxing like leonard did vs hagler just stopping briefly for a combo then back to dancing.
ggg's most effective shot as expected was that jab. nobody has an answer for that weapon.
i had canelo winning because he was picking him apart using his aggression against him. ggg did a whole lot of missing on the ropes but lampley could care less he was calling them as landed shots anyway.
canelos upper body movement is slicker than oil but ggg has arguably the greatest chin since hagler.Comment

GGG won the fight 115-113, he gave away early rounds which wont happen in the rematch.
Only thing that changes in the rematch is GGG will not have respect for Canelo like he did early on. Canelo can't stand toe to toe with GGG so he'll stick to his boxing gameplan and lose.
To me, this is a bit like Ward-Kovalev 1. GGG was robbed of a win, but I don't know if he can win the rematch. Canelo performed better than I expected. He has higher handspeed and better reflexes. And he's the much younger fighter. GGG can try to start faster, but Canelo will probably not stay on the ropes as much.
Oh well, I hope GGG makes a ton of money... and even more in the rematch. He may not get a win, but at least he will be a rich man.Comment

It's hilarious the same Canelo fans that trashed Lara for getting on his bike and justified his win in that one now want to claim Canelo won because he did the same thing. At least the Canelo fans at the arena had the balls to acknowledge he should've lost this fight.

GGG has a much better engine and can work hard for the full 12rounds. Canelo needs breaks but when he's fresh he's clearly the better boxer at the beginning of the round/beginning of the fight in my opinion. He gets tired and goes to the ropes for a breakComment
