golovkin won. fishnets waited until ggg looked old and then allowed canelo to fight him, and still needed his "influence' to let the golden ginger escape with a draw.
Round 1-3 Canelo clearly was beating Golovkin at every turn, I actually thought that it was about to be Mayweather-Gatti type fight, Round 4 and 5, Golovkin was clearly landing the harder shots and clearly won but Canelo was fighting back
Round 6 - Tight round could have gone either way depending on who you like more
so at this point it's either 58-56 Canelo or 57-57
Round 7 - 9 I thought Golovkin clearly took round 7 but round's 8 and 9 were tight I thought they each edged a round, so my score card at this point is 86-85 Canelo, but I can easily see how it can be 87-84 Golovkin,
Round 10-12 Almost everyone agrees that Canelo took the last three rounds, so even if you gave all tight rounds to Golovkin it's 114-114, but I had it 116-112 Canelo, I thought that it was pretty clear that Canelo won, when I heard the 115-113 score for Golovkin I was screaming robbery
I scored it 7-3-2 for GGG. Even though Canelo landed the more accurate and cleaner punches, I just don't believe he landed enough of them to justify winning the fight or for it to be ruled a draw. I thought that Golovkn's aggression, pressure and work rate carried the day for him in that fight. Canelo was too inconsistent for me. While, he fought well in spurts, he picked his spots very cautiously and deliberately. You have to take the title away from the champion without taking several minutes off each round and taking rounds off. Now my round by round as follows:
Round 1 - Canelo
Round 2 - Canelo
Round 3 - Even
Round 4 - Golovkin
Round 5 - Golovkin
Round 6 - Golovkin
Round 7 - Golovkin
Round 8 - Golovkin
Round 9 - Golovkin
Round 10 - Even
Round 11 - Golovkin
Round 12 - Canelo
I had an unofficial final score of 117-113 for Gennady Golovkin.
