Rewatched Gennady Golovkin vs Canelo Alvarez I

[daggum]

Lmao Pac did not land more clean punches than Floyd. We can go gif for gif if you want, because Floyd has twice the amount of highlights than Pac but we all know you won't do it since you will easily lose

Canelo landed more of the significant punches in round 1, 2, 3 as well. GGG didn't land one significant punch in the first round

clean punches? no he did not. more grazing taps, touches(is a touch a punch?) and push-offs sure i wil give you that but i dont count that as a clean punch. the rules don't either. the majority of floyds punches made no impact at all on pac. the majority of pacs made solid impact and knocked his head around. canelo landed nothing signfigant in the first. ggg landed some solid jabs and easily won the round. canelo threw a combo that was all blocked by ggg(im guessing you pretended it landed since you have vision problems) and a body shot that landed well low. nothing clean. ggg outjabbed him and thus won the round. you need to pay more attention and be less biased when scoring. you can't pretend every punch is equal and lands if you like the guy. you seem to always find a way for your guy to win when you do this. let me guess ward beat kovalev too?

I know this has been done already but I’ll add my opinion.

Round 1:
GGG on the hunt chasing Alvarez. Head hunting.
Canelo backing away and trying to counter. Mixing in some good body punches.
GGG landed the majority of punches.
10-9 GGG

Round 2:
Alvarez countered well and even stood in the center of the ring and became the aggressor for periods. He landed some nice hooks to the body with both hands.
GGG threw mostly jabs and blocked some fire. Trying to pin down Canelo but couldn’t.
Canelo 10-9

Round 3:
Canelo establishes some good bodywork again in this round. GGG head hunting too much. Getting countered to the body but managed to block the stuff upstairs. Alvarez moving his feet well. Even Abel Sanchez tells Gennady in the corner that he gave that one away.
Canelo 10 -9

Round 4:
GGG woke up went after Canelo and grabbed control.
Immediately tripling and doubling on the jab. Even put in some bodywork. When he goes to the body it opens everything up. Alvarez looks a little tired moves his feet and avoids trouble well. Blocked the biggest shots.
GGG 10-9

Round 5:
Biggest punch of the round and most punches landed were by GGG. But I was impressed by Canelo. He was able to absorb a big right hand and fight his way out of trouble. He shook his head at GGG and bluffed him into not attacking.
GGG 10-9

Round 6
Canelo looks gassed this round. Barely threw punches.
GGG is letting the jab go. Trying to just touch and pin Alvarez down. Canelo looking like a slick fighter. But getting outworked.
GGG 10-9

Agree with all 6 of these.

Round 7:
GGG is the aggressor chasing Canelo almost the entire round. He has to jog to catch up to him. Best punch all night upstairs Canelo took it well. Canelo’s best punch was a left body punch that stopped GGG momentarily from coming forward.
GGG 10-9

Disagree - and your summary is exactly why.

Commentators say it all the time. Don't follow the guy around. Cut off the ring. G was following Canelo and Canelo was setting traps effectively. He got caught with two shots I believe, but Golovkin abandoned the gameplan he used against Lemieux when he was running. I gave it to Canelo, for ring generalship.

Round 8:
Canelo tried in the beginning of the round to test GGG. But to no success. The story was GGG chasing Canelo this round like A fiend. Landing punches but couldn’t land many power punches. Canelo doing everything he can to get away.
GGG 10-9

Round 9:
GGG hit Canelo with a good punch. Canelo gets on his bike.
Canelo manages to land a good shot while GGG is attacking to no effect. GGG continues to attack while piling up the points Canelo in survival mode not trying to engage.
GGG 10-9

Round 10:
Canelo’s corner tells him before the round he needs to win the next three rounds outright. He stands his ground early on exchanging but GGG is not phased. GGG is out working him and pushing him back. Canelo is searching for that one power punch. That one answer that can save him. He’s getting bullied and pushed around despite being the more muscular looking fighter. He is clinching now and looking to get away. GGG smells blood.
GGG 10-9

Agree with these three.

Round 11:
Pretty close round. Canelo countered and tried to fight back. GGG again was the aggressor.
GGG 10-9

Disagree. G was the aggressor but he didn't do anything effective. Meanwhile Canelo's counters were working well for him. I gave it to Canelo for his defense.

Round 12:
I’ll give the last round to Canelo. GGG could never land a punctuation mark on the round. Canelo landed a big shot in the beginning then a nice combo that GGG walked through. GGG pressing Canelo clinching and countering. Canelo landed the cleaner harder punches.
Canelo 10-9

Agree.

Which puts me to my score night of the fight; 115-113, Gennady Golovkin. And I was rooting for Canelo, but he lost that fight in a very close match up.

But this exercise shows - all it takes is one or two swing rounds for the other guy to win and/or a draw. That's called a close fight, not a robbery. It wasn't the whitewash people are making it to be.

No one on this site can accuse me of being a fan of either fighter, I'm a BJS fan lol

GGG won 8-4, and only 11% thought Canelo had won on the Sky Sports site with nearly 200k votes, says it all.

I actually don't think anyone thinks Canelo won. There's just a lot of dumbed down fans these days and trolls who will just say the fighter they don't like lost if the fight is competitive and goes the distance.

clean punches? no he did not. more grazing taps, touches(is a touch a punch?) and push-offs sure i wil give you that but i dont count that as a clean punch. the rules don't either. the majority of floyds punches made no impact at all on pac. the majority of pacs made solid impact and knocked his head around.

Clean punches that landed? Yes he did. If Pac landed more clean punches round for round then he would've won the fight, Floyd also has way more highlights in that fight than Pac does. So there goes your argument


Pac had the best punch of the fight with the 4th round but no he didn't land more clean punches and the rules support that which is why floyd easily won. Anyway this thread isn't about Floyd, so stop with your weird obsession and meet me in the official gif thread if you want to lose another argument.

canelo landed nothing signfigant in the first. ggg landed some solid jabs and easily won the round. canelo threw a combo that was all blocked by ggg(im guessing you pretended it landed since you have vision problems) and a body shot that landed well low. nothing clean. ggg outjabbed him and thus won the round. you need to pay more attention and be less biased when scoring. you can't pretend every punch is equal and lands if you like the guy. you seem to always find a way for your guy to win when you do this. let me guess ward beat kovalev too?

GGG landed nothing significant in the first round. Canelo varied his punches unlike GGG and landed the best punches of the round wich were body shots.

We can go gif for gif for the canelo GGG fight as well. But I know you won't . Enough with this biased commentary, it's time for you to show and prove.

No way Canelo won the 7th round he ran most of the round.
GGG threw more and landed more.
You can’t give Canelo a round for 1 or 2 counters that didn’t score KDs or stun the opponent.
Defense is good but it doesn’t negate GGGs greater body of work in 7

You can argue 11 but GGG led while Canelo defended. In a close round it goes to the aggressor.

Nah there are some People on this thread saying it was disputed or that Canelo deserved to win

[Hewito]

Reminds me of that joke about having to knock the other guy out to get a draw. That's what GGG is facing.

I think the jokes goes "You must kill him to get a draw".

[TonyGe]

TS is biased as fuuuck

Anyone that doesn’t have gggs nuts in there mouth know that fight was close, a 1-2 point fight either way.

No it wasn't close. Golovkin won 8 rounds clearly.

I got GGG winning the fight wide winning 9 to 3 rounds.
117 to 111. Should have been an easy decision. What a robbery.

Good score and assessment of the fight.

I saw something similar, but I think I gave Canelo four rounds and one even the second time I watched it. I thought it was a clear win for GGG, but some of the rounds were pretty close.
