Canelo clearly won the first 3 and last 3 there was some close ones in the middle rounds that could've gone either way

No because Canelo wasn't doing much going backwards or moving. He landed a flashy shot now in some rounds between 3-10 but that's all.
I'd happily score the round for Canelo if i felt he was still in control despite going backwards, being on the ropes and landing here and there, but he wasn't in Control. Mayweather does it but he's still very much in control of what's happening in the ring and dictating it. Canelo was being forced to do that. There's a difference.
Personally, I think was hurt by a couple things. One was that he has a reputation as a huge puncher, but he never really hurt Canelo. Secondly, Canelo appeared to be the more skilled guy in the ring. Even when GGG had Canelo on the ropes. Canelo was slipping and making him miss. And when Canelo would throw back, they were clean connects. GGG basically did the Margarito tonight. Only difference was he couldn't close the deal. I'm not saying he didn't win the fight. 7-5 either way was an acceptable score to me. But we can't give him credit for dictating the pace if he's taking big shots in the process, and not really landing many of his own.Comment
