Canelo won the fight

[Banko Villas]

As all of you know from my posting history, I have never liked Canelo. I still don't. He's a pampered ginger who have been fighting too small guys all along and who I think deserved to draw (or even lose) against Lara and Trout. I hoped Golovkin would embarass him, but honestly, I couldn't even justify the decision to the friends I was watching the match with. Canelo was toying with Golovkin, dancing around and uppercutting him at will. They were in completely different leagues regarding skills and all the uppercuts appeared to make Golovkin timid... TBH, Golovkin was exposed as being a guy who can give a punch and take a punch, but not adapt at all. Canelo had so many more dimensions to his game. Golovkin just plodded forward, ate uppercuts and missed with 80% of his punches... I was like "now something's gonna happen!" everytime Golovkin finally landed a clean punch, but his power neither seemed to scare nor hurt Canelo. In a rematch, I even think Canelo will stop Golovkin... What do you think?

more importantly, the ''flat footed'' myth... where NELO clearly MURKED the canvas last night and doing the Detroit Floyd hop

Legendary!! Blap blap!!

We are talking about the fight, not the opinions of Golovkin fans from diverse media. Canelo clearly won. And never use Compubox. Just watch the fight.

In fact, tell me which rounds you saw Golovkin win. Then we can inspect those rounds. He got clowned.

[techliam]

You're in the vast minority, but you're entitled to an opinion. Some people legitimately argued Bradley beat Pacquiao the first time, but hey ho.

The thing is, aggression can't be effective if your opponent just eats your shots and still outworks you, no matter how flashy it looked. I struggle to give Canelo more than 4 rounds. 5 if you really stretch it (Round 3).

Whilst Golovkin isn't despatching top tier A-level guys, he's still winning. Canelo is a fantastic win

Minority doesn't matter, as the majority appeared to have Kovalev win in the first match against Ward, lol. The rest of us just saw Kovalev getting schooled and some, like me, made threads predicting Ward would KO Kovalev in the rematch because their difference in skill was so great. Casuals won't be able to see it here, like they couldn't in Ward-Kovalev, but Canelo is a better boxer than Golovkin and a rematch will be disastrous for Golovkin. You need to beat the ex-Soviets twice before the fans accept it.

I think you are an idiot.

Yes minority does matter, because not many agree with you

You're effectively saying that 'oh I'm right, nearly everyone else is wrong. Nearly everyone else in the industry is a casual'

Really? A grown man actually thinks that?

I miss the GGG fans saying, ''IF NELO GOES TO THE ROPES IT's OVER!''' lol
