Maybe I'm tripping then I seen dude circle the ring keep Alvarez in the middle and jab his head off, then in the last 3-4 rounds I seen him actually pressure canelo and put him on the ropes, actually move and hurt him with clean shots, and overall just showed superior boxing ability. I'ma rewatch it and try and see it with a bias towards canelo and see what I come up with - but activity matters and when ur constantly being peppered by a jab that shit is embarrassing.
I think in the first fight, Canelo baited Golovkin into eating punches by talking about how hes going to fight like a Mexican and whatever, and then perplexed GGG when he instead boxed him up.
I think GGG tried to do the same in the 2nd fight, by talking all this shit, so that canelo would think they are going to sit there and trade punches, and then for the first 6 rounds or so decided to circle and box. In the last 3 rounds his dumbass trainer who thinks eating punches is a good thing told him he is losing the fight, which clearly we now know he was, and to come forward, so we got to see the normal come forward GGG, and GGG's punches were really moving Canelo, hurting him, and he was actually pressuring him and putting him where he wanted.
Pretty much I think GGG wanted Canelo in the middle of the ring exactly where he was, and when he decided to turn it up he put Canelo on the ropes multiple times exactly where he wanted him and clearly was causing more damage with his punches.
Activity is also another huge point - if ur a counter puncher, an effective counter puncher, u should slow ur opponents activity down. Golovkin jabbed him every 3 seconds of every round and it looked like most were landing.
Hey bro ur hard as nails.
