Canelo was given the same 5 rounds on ALL official judge scorecards AND fan scorecards from that voting website....
Rounds 1, 2, 10, 11, 12.
Personally i thought round 1 was a split and I gave Canelo 3 and 4. For me Canelo won 2, 3, 4, and two of 10, 11, and 12...giving him 5 rounds with splits in round 1 and one of those last rounds (forget which). Canelo couldve had as many as 7 or as few as 5.
GGG winning 7-5 wouldnt have bothered me and I felt a draw was fair given the closeness of the fight.
Similarly a draw in the rematch wouldnt have bothered me, but if someone did win 7 rounds in the rematch it had to be Canelo.
For comparison I had Jacobs GGG 6-6 with the KD being the decider
**Correction with links**
All judges gave Canelo 1, 2, 10, 11, and 12

All fans gave Canelo 1, 2, 3, 10, 11, and 12

You degrade the sport when you misuse words like "robbery" or "ruined". First fight was close and GGG probably edged it, but Canelo being the "A" attraction didn't surprise me getting the draw. And the draw was earned - not given.
