Canelo won the fight

I don't think there's anything wrong with scoring that fight in Canelo's favor. Sure only giving GGG 2 rounds seems extreme, but Canelo landed so many more flush shots and made GGG miss A LOT. GGG had a lot of trouble landing anything cleanly the whole fight.Comment

As far as I remember, Golovkin won 3-4 rounds. If someone could tell me which rounds they saw Golovkin win, then we could take a closer look at their claims. Canelo dominated the beginning of the fight, some of the middle and re-established dominance at the end. I really didn't see Golovkin win ANY more then 3-4 rounds at most. In his better rounds, his head was often used as a punching bag and I don't score a fight by who is chashing who the most, I score a fight by who lands a higher quality and quantity of punches. Canelo was landing uppercuts at will and Golovkin looked disheartened between rounds while Canelo looked determined and confident. Just compare their faces. Golovkin did no damage and on a ginger, any done damage would be visible as the sun.Comment

This is irrelevant and unless compubox is willing to put timestamps with their punch numbers it's not really useful.Do yourself a favour and watch badminton. Let's make the list. Post other media scores you know of.

Canelo simply beat his ass, but GGG is good at getting his ass beat.Comment
