I thought that about the first one but not this one. I don't really see what people can say Golovkin did better over the 12 rounds in the rematch. His defense was poor, he was getting backed up all night, he got out landed, outboxed- I just don't see what Golvokin did that had people thinking he did enough to win 7 rounds other than be a big puncher.I'm a GGG fan... but let's be real. Neither guy "Clearly" won that fight. In fact, I expected the judges to give the nod to Canelo. GGG landed more punches which came in the form of jab. Canelo landed more power shots though.
I think GGG definitely won the first fight...but not this one. Sucks to see him lose but kudos to Canelo. He got the job done.
Would love to see a trilogy...but I don't see it being any different a third time. Probably another toss up. I highly doubt those guys would want to walk through hell again.
Canelo will always be almost impossible to beat on the cards.
Shit canelo almost got
The nod over Floyd.
Close fight. Canelo will always
Win those fights.
I think bias clouds our judgement. When you choose a side it's a little tougher to see the fight how it actually is. If you take a boxing fan who knows his stuff...and have him watch this fight in which he doesnt care about either fighter.. and ask him who he thought won. Odds are it'd be Canelo. Just my opinion. He landed the more meaningful shots.I thought that about the first one but not this one. I don't really see what people can say Golovkin did better over the 12 rounds in the rematch.

Remember how much ggg fans masturbated to this clip? They acted like this was a good moment for him. LoLI think bias clouds our judgement.

GGG was too little too late in the second fight. Having a granite chin doesnt equal defense. Canelo deserved the win...and the fans deserve a trilogy. But we're lucky we finally got to see these two fight (2x).
kicked GGG's ass? You must be blind
Ive watched it 3 times now and I cant get to 7 rnds for GGG. 7 to 5 for canelo is what I'm most comfortable with. 1st and 12th were very hard to score imo.... I only write this as you ratted me out on the prefight poll as picking ggg thou haha. Both ward and rjj made the same point, canelo backed him up. Abel asked canelo to stand and fight... he did that and more.GGG fans
Canelo v GGG 1: Canelo lost because he was backed up and only countering, he ran
Canelo vs GGG 2: Canelo lost because GGG was backing up and countering , GGG used his boxing did not run
Fan of both, but I think GGG won by a spliy.
Guess you didn't watch the fight...
GGG got his ass kicked.
Show me another fight where Golovkin is all lumped up like that. I mean, are people really trying to deny that Canelo was landing big shots on the guy?I agree Canelo won...but let's not forget that some fighters bruise differently than others. Also, where's the body pics? I'm not sure about the punch stats and who landed what...just hypothetically saying.
Perception is not always reality.

Fair enough. Not saying GGG won because I think Canelo edged him out. But where's the body pics? See what I'm saying? Doesnt (always) tell the whole story when people compare after fight pics of their faces.Show me another fight where Golovkin is all lumped up like that.
