In the early rounds I didn't expect Canelo to be that sharp and I doubt Canelo himself expected that, he seemed to have admired his work a little too much and was probably foolish enough to think the fight was gonna continue to head that direction. Canelo's objective should have been to bring Golovkin down to his level in terms of conditioning, Golovkin was tentative, maybe the moment got to him in the early rounds, maybe Canelo's sharpness, whatever the case may be Golovkin was there for the taking, he needed to do some quality work to the body. That lack of urgency created enough room for Golovkin to pick up the pace a bit whilst Canelo slowed a tad bit and it was decided.
Also, a lot of that early posing and wanting to show the crowd that he can more than hang with Golovkin as oppose to an urgent body attack, well that tells me Canelo bought into a lot of Golovkin's mysticism going in. For as much as he pretended he didn't, he did.
