Saul Canelo Alvarez in my judgement lost the fight but was awarded the decision by the three official judges scorecards. Just live with it and move on. At least I have.
In addition, it was far from a robbery as there were many close rounds that were too hard to score. Canelo made it a very close fight, however by adding several wrinkles to his game.
He threw more combination punches in bunches, he went to the body more and stayed off the ropes by forcing Golovkin to fight off the back foot, as he was the aggressive fighter throughout the fight coming forward. Even though he was consistently getting caught flush in the face by Golovkin's jab earlier in the fight.
