Who won the fight in your opinion and why?

[Amandlala]

GGG won.

For long spells of the fight he had Canelo cornered or blocked off on the ropes.

He was in charge of the movemnt on the canvas for most of the fight.

He was landing hard and regularly, largely the jab I know but the jab os still powerful and he was setting off combos from his jab too.

Canelo had a great fight too. Landed a lot and lasted the distance well.

**** Adelaide Byrd but hey at least we got s definite rematch and a potential trilogy here.

They need to ****ing hype this.

I'd be very curious to know how Canel owas given any round after the 2nd and before the 10th?

It was simple, I had it 7-4-1...the even round being the 6th but that could have gone either way, still leaves Canelo needing a KD to get a draw lol

[Simurgh]

I had Canelo winning first 2 or 3 rounds and making last 2 close.
The rest was clearly Gennady.

I had it 8-4, 7-5 would be okey too.

[DuckAdonis]

Think it was a draw

[CodeBreaker]

I had 7-5 Golovkin

[////]

geeg won it but not as dominantly as usual and it (sadly) wasn't very surprising that GB's franchise fighter got bailed out

canelo did alright, but no way he won

[FrankieBruno]

GGG didnt do enough imo, he didnt look his usual self

he wasnt cutting off the ring

yea his workrate was high, but he was missing a lot of punches,

the last three rounds he didnt finish strong

what i am saying is he wasnt dominate in there, Canelo was still looking strong at the end

[Banko Villas]

Canelo. He did more damage, landed punches at will and made Golovkin miss all night. Golovkin was just chasing him around, but was scared to throw every time Canelo had his back on the ropes... Golovkin won 3-4 rounds at most and he ate uppercuts all night while doing no damage himself. Just look at their faces at the end of the fight, lol.

I had Canelo winning the first 2 rounds. Golovkin seemed like he didn't get into his groove until after that. Golovkin won the middle rounds and Canelo came on late in round 10&11 with Golovkin taking 12. I think a reasonable card would be 7-5 Golovkin. If Canelo didn't get gassed he could have taken it. This is boxing and it was Vegas. Sets up a great and profitable rematch. Not hard to understand. Byrd should be barred from judging.

Im good with a draw. At one point I had it 4 rounds to 3 for Canelo and I stopped tracking/scoring rounds. Some rounds were close and hard to score.

Canelo had major stamina problems, starting maybe from the 4th round. He wasted a lot of energy jumping on his toes when he was out of range in the early rounds. He did go to the body extensively and landed head shots rather easily. I was surprised compubox had a huge lead for GGG for landed shots, a lot of his were blocked or slipped, he landed more in the mid-late rounds when canelo was tired but still I thought canelo landed more clean shots.

GGG not only has an iron jaw but an iron body. Canelo hit him with hooks to the body every chance he got and it never slowed down GGG, he just kept coming and coming. Canelo landed a monster overhand right around the 4th round that GGG ate and just didnt react at all to, didnt take a step back, wobble or anything. I knew then it was going 12.

Canelo took GGG shots really well. GGG is a guy that breaks peoples faces, literally. I thought Canelo might have been buzzed in the 11th and trying to conceal it but regardless he never was seriously hurt.

Canelo has to do something about his stamina if he wants to beat GGG convincingly. Not just training for stamina but also fighting smarter and conserving energy. He already imitates mayweather to a large degree, this is something mayweather is a master at, so something he should work on.
