    Even if you are of the opinion Canelo lost (most people) I still think he did well.

    I didn't expect him to see the final bell. In spots, he boxed extremely well, showed great defense and counter punching. But that was the problem, in spots.

      What world do you live on my friend?
      Nelo got beat and a gift card saved his ass.

      He's the CW king, 6 times fought at a CW (a record I think), the gift decision king in Vegas too.

      Yet, the criticism still flying towards triple on this forum.

        Yeah, yeah, I understand all that friend but you look at it from my point of view.

        Golovkin was this supposed monster, while Canelo is like a 19 to 20-year-old kid. Do you really expect us not to give him more credit for simply not dying in the ring?

        Your standards are far too high for the youngster and way too low for the Golovkin. Canelo gets a pass in the mind of every fair-minded boxing fan in the world while you Golovtards keep hating.

          Same for Canelo.

          GGG should have one over Nelo but got screwed by the judges.

          There is no controversy or split decision.

          Boxers, trainers have GGG winning.

          From boxrec:

          CompuBox Punch Stats:
          Golovkin outlanded Canelo in 9 of the 12 rounds. They both landed an even amount of punches the 12th.

          80% of the boxing public scored the fight for Golovkin. About 15% had it a draw, while about 5% had it for Canelo.

          You thought he lost both 2017 fights, but what can we expect from a guy having GGG standing next to an homeless dude in his avy.

          He won both.

            Canelo is in his prime, 27 while Golovkin is 35 with 38 pro fights and 400 ams fight wich explain why he's a bit battle worn.

            Canelo had everything for him.

              No a draw is NOT a win against a champion by any stretch. You have to clearly beat a champion to get the win and he didn't do that. He got a gift to protect the cash cow and allow Las Veags to cash-in big-time...nobody bet on a draw.
