The fact is this, first fight was competitive but I had GGG winning. I think most people did. You cannot win a fight only fighting 15 second bursts each round which is what Canelo did.
Second fight, l changed my score a few time, but the point is that the narrative has changed like crazy to make it sound like Canelo "whooped his ass." Only a disgusting sick fangirl would make up this lie. As the TS said, GGG had a great rally at the end of the fight winning the last 4-5 rounds pretty convincingly. All you had to do was find 1-2 rounds for him in the first half of the fifth and he kept his belts. Those early rounds were not as convincing for Canelo as the later rounds were for GGG. Even in the first half of the fight, GGG never had his back on the ropes and was catching Canelo with hard clean jabs when he tried to come in.
They were good fights. I don't care who won. I just care that both guys keep ducking the fighters I want to see them fight. It's sad that these 2 are the face of the middleweight division when Charlo and Andrade have been begging to fight them both for years now, but they did give us 2 competitive fights which I'll say is rare these days for Canelo.Comment

I did too but if someone’s got the second a draw or Canelo winning, I’m cool with that.Comment

That’s the thing with boxing records, the result stays prominent but the details fade. Canelo has looked much better than GGG since their fights also. That let’s fans look back at Canelo with rose coloured glasses. GGG was also the favourite and supposedly the “bigger” fighter and had that KO streak. When he didn’t win, or even manage to hurt Canelo seriously that looked like a worse night for him as far as stigma goes. Canelo afterwards gets to say “he doesn’t hit so hard.” But it’s not like Canelo would be able to say that he hits harder though. But the knock lands. The rematch Canelo stood his ground more and improved where GGG didn’t as much. I had GGG wining the first fight close, and the second fight a draw. Canelo had the stroke each time. So the results make sense. At least when you go up against Canelo you’re hopefully getting your biggest payday ever. If there has to be bias it might as well go to the guy who is paying out. GGG would have to look great for a few rounds and then win via devastating KO in a trilogy to reverse the conception of history.Comment

First fight was a draw. Second fight was an easy demolition for canelo.Comment

For me both fights (Alvarez-Golovkin) were a draw. No conclusive dominance from either fighter ... though both were decent fights. I'd probably give Canelo a slight edge stylewise and making GGG change how he fights ... but both took and landed lots of shots.
A 3rd fight may finally expose GGG's age more than anything. Kinda unfair at this point, but if they are willing ... let's go. Maybe someone will score a conclusive win.Comment

Agreed, those saying GGG won the first fight counted a lot of unlanded jabs. Canelo's punches were explicit and harder for both fights. The only punches GGG landed that were good were when Canelo put himself on the ropes to give GGG a chance because he wasn't doing anything before that. Roy Jones even called It out.
The second fight Calneo marched GGG down and brutalized him. No one has ever done that to GGG. I know you all want to say drevey did but again you all just counted unlanded punches. Drevey was getting blocked all night and not landing anything clean or with conviction. Plus GGG existed the fight unscathed.Comment
