Sorry, not 90%, but still most of the press scored the fight for Golovkin.

GGG took over in the second half of the fight for me and just edged it.

Judging is subjective and all the cards were close.

From what i read on my twitter most people the UK (fighters/journos) had GGG winning by at least two.

[IronDanHamza]

I think your maths needs work.

Out of 51 scorecards, 34 had Golovkin winning.

How does that equate to 90%?

Corrected. Thanks.

[IronDanHamza]

Corrected. Thanks.

You've corrected it to "most of the press" but does 66% equate to most? Not really.

And the vast majority of cards for GGG have it a 1 round swing I.e just 1 of the many swing rounds scored the other way would mean GGG doesn't win.

Aka, the fight was razor close.

34 for GGG, 2 for Canelo.

Do the math for that.

[IronDanHamza]

34 for GGG, 2 for Canelo.

Do the math for that.

Ok why?

Why leave out all the draws which take up a substantial %?

[Barristan]

Canelo won 115 -113....GGG landed more jabs doe. Mexican style ��

[bojangles1987]

I cannot at all understand how Alvarez could have won this.
