Indeed, all 3 judges did the same as me (I'm sure for diferent reasons), first to Golovkin, second and third to Canelo, so I don't see any problems over the first three rounds.
I had 4th for Golovkin, along with all 3 judges, but we parted company in the 5th. I gave that round to Golovkin, but not by much I might add. Looking over to the eyeonthering site, 75% of cards had Golovkin winning that round, so the 5th maybe a key round.
6th I went Canelo (all 3 judges, and 75% of those in eyeonthering)
7th I went Canelo, as did the majority in eyeonthering (61%), but 1 judge gave it to Golovkin. So not sure what they saw there to give it to Golovkin, but like many of the rounds, there was back-and-forth, and maybe depends what you like.
8th Canelo, along with 52% of those on eyeonthering, but again, 1 judge (diffferent one) gave this to Golovkin.
9th I gave to Golovkin, along with 80% at eyeonthering, but 2 judges gave it to Canelo.
10 and 11 Golovkin, with little disagreement anywhere.
12 I gave Golovkin for the same reason I gave the 2nd to Canelo - the most telling punches were landed by Golovkin, whatever punchstats say (63% off eyeonthering and 1 judge agreeing with me).
So 115-113 Golovkin, but 2 rounds I randomly gave 1 apiece to, and a couple others very close.
I think the 9th is also a key round where 2 judges gave it to Canelo, but 80% didn't.
It was a great fight, and both deserve credit for what they did in there, but can see how most get to a Golovkin win.
Whatever, on to III next May.
