Canelo showed great heart in this fight despite losing most of the rounds. Both men will sleep like baby's tonight. Good fight.

I actually thought it was close but still had GGG taking it by at least two rounds. Both fighters came to leave it all in the ring! #GGGvCanelo2

Thought @GGGBoxing won, but this was no robbery. I’m gutted for Gennady, who has every reason to think he won TWICE without a victory. He will not be any younger for the third Fight, which you can bank on. Canelo will be a legit favorite in #CaneloGGG3. #Boxing is a tough biz.

I didn't see the fight, but once I heard on Twitter that jabbing was Golovkin's "weapon of choice," I knew something was off. He shouldn't have allowed Canelo to back him up. I guess Golovkin's age deterioration was worse than the size Canelo lost from not using Clenbuterol.

Ok here's the million dollar question I have for you two

If Golovkin won the round, why did he get walked down lol?

I didn't see Golovkin get walked down at any moment in that entire fight.

Do you know what "walked down" typically means? It refers to a fighter being effectively out on his feet but retreating in a shell unable to muster an offense while his opponent stalks him, no longer worried about being hit back and concentrating entirely on offense.

Circling an opponent who is standing in the middle of the ring, outlanding them & forcing them into a more cagey defense than your own, isn't being walked down.

Neither fighter was "walked down"or "ran" for even a moment of that fight. You guys don't realize wild exaggeration makes your arguments way less believable.

I was using it as a figure of speech to mock Golovkin, the come forward KO artist, being moved back by a smaller boxer/puncher after he said he was taking the judges out of the fight, after he dared Canelo to fight mexican style lol, and then he was the one backing down.

Do I know what Walked down means? Yeah I saw the Margarito cotto fight.

Golovkin outlanding canelo and forcing him into a cagier defense is a pretty long stretch buddy. It was a close see-saw fight. Neither clearly outlanded the other. Canelo just edged it for me.

I thought GGG won doe

I thought so too, clearly last time and just a round this time.
