Yeah that's how I saw it at first. 4-9 are clear ggg rounds. Nelo had maybe 11? And everything else was a swing round. Trying to get a copy of the replay. I honestly don't care about the results that much I had a blast watching it.
Op I watched it without sound at a watch party with 10 people. My brother was pulling for nelo and thought ggg got hosed.
I just rewatched round 5. That was a clear Canelo round. GGG landed at most 2 solid punches the whole round.
Round 6 was closer, but Canelo landed some of the hardest punches of the whole fight.
5 was for sure a Canelo round. 6 was probably a Canelo round.

Did he think GGG got hosed because of Byrd's scorecard or did he think the fight was close but GGG pulled it out?
I watched it on my computer the day after the fight. Several places had the full fight for anyone to watch. This is why I never buy fights. Canelo was razor sharp on both offense and defense and landed some flashy wicked punches. However he did too much back peddling and too little punching to win many rounds. GGG wasn't as sharp as Canelo but he fought 3 minutes of every round and applied steady pressure. He threw a lot more punches than Canelo and therefore landed a few more punches than Canelo in many rounds. I scored it either 7 rounds to 5 or 8 rounds to 4 for GGG. A few rounds were very close. Really even rounds but apparently judges are no longer allowed to score a round even.
I scored the first and the last 3 for Canelo, you could've given another middle swing round to Canelo but I think rounds 1-3 and 10-12 are obvious Canelo rounds. So he started off well, he got tired and he still managed to win the last 3 while tired and that's the hardest thing in boxing, to box when you're tired and against GGG's vaunted pressure and power to top it.
