Sometimes boxing fans are their own worst enemies. They watch the fights as one big round, don't keep scorecards, and then like to cry when the decision is announced. This isn't surprising, there are people that think Floyd lost to Maidana and Pacquiao. Probably the same people that think Kovalev-Ward I was a robbery.
Unfortunately, people see one guy coming forward and assume he deserves to win.
Anyway, here is my scorecard. Watched it with no audio so I wouldn't be influenced. *** means that the round was close and could have gone either way. Canelo was throwing the combos, landed the eye catching shots, and better body shots. Golovkin applied the non-stop pressure.
Neither guy was hurt, dropped, bloodied, battered or took significant damage. Rounds were close. Cries of robbery uncalled for.
1. Canelo
2. Canelo
3. Canelo
4. Golovkin ***
5. Golovkin ***
6. Canelo ***
7. Golovkin (clearest round in the whole fight in my opinion)
8. Golovkin
9. Canelo ***
10. Golovkin
11. Golovkin
12. Canelo
6-6, 114-114.
