fight was close [and amazing] but you bet your ass i'd rather be canelo this morning, golovkin took a hellish beating. you score fights round by round, and just taking more of a beating doesn't necessarily mean you lost, but i also think he lost going by boxing criterion.
golovkin came on strong late, and he's an emotional favorite, and that has left impressionable casual fans claiming it was a robbery. this was no robbery. ask abel sanchez if he thought that was a robbery. ask gennady. you don't leave the ring like that if you are robbed. you could see in his face that he felt he lost.
i'm proud of both guys. it was a great fight. if golovkin was truly a great fighter he would have won that even at his age. canelo was there to be had, golovkin just couldn't finish him. he's a very good fighter and he made a great fight out of it, but he didn't do enough to win convincingly.
he was not a great fighter in my eyes. he was very good and he was avoided. i basically knew that, but we needed to see how his career played out.
poor dude looked old as hell in there at times. not expecting much more than a rubber match for him. he's rich as hell, that fight sold and the rubber match will surely sell. hbo is on the way out, he's probably not goign to fight for 2 million bucks any more.
