Professional opinion? You know like 90 percent of the journalists scoring it ringside for ggg both times? I didn't score the first fight just cause ggg came forward either, I scored both fights for ggg cause I kept seeing canelos head snapping back from a jab every 10 seconds lol
If it was a close fight they would have just given Canelo a W not a Draw

Ok, nothing you said had anything to do with fight one but I believe since you wanna talk about size that Canelo came in heavier on FN for their first fight than GGG.
In any case, he was back peddling alot in that one worried about GGG's power and as a result didn't get too much done.
Thought it was easy to score.
EVERYTHING I said is relevant to the first fight
you said this about Canelo... "Canelo gun shy not willing to engage"
but... that remark applies MUCH more to Golovkin than to Canelo
where was Golovkin's relentless pipe-bursting pressure?... where was all that "master-at-cutting-off-the-ring" nonsense?... WHERE WAS HIS TRADEMARK BODYWORK?
Golovkin... was gun-shy, and not willing to engage
Canelo sat on the ropes... but Golovkin did NOTHING
FACT: G could not get his game going in EITHER of those fights
in the first fight... in 5 of those rounds, ALL THREE JUDGES awarded those 5 rounds to Canelo... so you are pushing shlt uphill with a pointed stick at 8-4... nothing like that happened
boxingscene.com scored that fight a draw... so did many other news outlets/independents
you Golovkin fans had your illusion shattered is what happenedComment

fan dissatisfaction with the final result does not change what really happened...
"That's the fight I saw. Alvarez came out of the gate fast. His work in the first three rounds should have given him an early lead. Golovkin went to work starting in Round 4. He steadily pressured Alvarez and threw a kitchen sink's worth of punches at him.
But Alvarez was calm and steady enough to make his own mark. While Golovkin's volume of punches was spectacular, Alvarez was the fighter landing the cleaner blows. According to CompuBox (via BoxingScene.com), while Golovkin landed a higher number of total punches overall, Alvarez ruled the day in power punches and landed them at a much higher percentage. He particularly made use of his right cross and was able to make the slower Golovkin miss enough to warrant heavy praise.
Alvarez turned the dial back up for the championship rounds. Rounds 10 through 12 were historically great examples of how champion fighters go for broke.
The judges might not have gotten every single round scored correctly. But they rendered an overall verdict that reflected the pitch of the bout. This was a great middleweight championship fight worthy of admiration. Both men were outstanding middleweight champions before the bell, and both remained so after the fight ended.
The judges got that part right. Neither man deserved to lose the fight, and because it was ruled a split draw, neither man did."

In the 1st fight, canelo outboxed GGG,but judges saw ggg's work rate and gave him points. Even though I feel that canelo should have won the first time, you could say that GGG arguably outworked him to get a draw, BUT in the 2nd fight, there is no doubt that GGG lost clearly 8-4 for canelo (or 7-5 if I am being generous to ggg).Comment
