I think they expected Canelo to fight on the backfoot once again, and just couldn't adapt. That said. I still think it was a close fight. Bodyshots should've been on their mind especially since Abel mentioned the lack of them after the first. GGG was scared to throw them imo.
If they planned on imposing himself then they would have met midway but no it wasn’t the case. Starting round one he was already backing up.
They asked for canelo to come forward there should’ve been an uppecut plan or whatever but nope. They didn’t know what to do esp in the early rounds what do if that’ll be the case.
Yes i do agree it was a close fight because of GGG’s late rally. And the 12th sealed it for canelo.
Golovkin should have went to the body. It seemed Golovkin was surprised Canelo was coming forward for most of the fight.
GGG is the better fighter IMO but his corner weren't up to it.
Not gonna make excuses for him but he also looked every bit his age out there.
They asked for Canelo to do it only to fold from it in the early going while canelo gaining confidence every round he wins.
Still a closed fight but Team GGG didn’t really prep him for that kind of scenario, as well as mentally.
