The Narrative of this Fight for those that had GGG winning seems to be based on his Activity, Workrate and because he was the Fighter who appeared to be coming Forward.
The Problem with that Narrative is there's a difference between Effective Aggression where you're the Fighter coming forward and landing the more telling, harder punches and the Real Narrative of this Fight which was GGG throwing lots of Punches and coming forward but Missing with most of his Punches and being countered by Harder more explosive punches from Canelo.
Canelo won the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Rounds based on him landing the Better Cleaner Punches.
I did think GGG won rounds 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 due to Canelo not being as effective with his punches or landing as cleanly as he did in RDS 1-3 especially to the body so after 9 rounds i had GGG WINNING this fight 6-3 and i thought he would go on to win the fight comfortably.
Canelo had a second wind though and won the 10th, 11th and 12th based on Cleaner Crisper Punching. His activity wasn't at the same level as GGG but his Punches were far more effective.
After 12 Rounds, i had this Fight 114-114. I would be fine with 115-113 either way but i think a DRAW was the fairest Result.
Great Fight, hopefully we get the Re-match in May 2018.
