    1. GGG won

    2. Agree Byrd should be banned

    3. Agree

    4. Yeah he is a little past prime now

    5. It was his 19th successful middleweight title defense,

    6. Disagree rematch needs a KO anyway and the fight can happen May 2018. Golovkin should go for Saunders and the WBO belt before

    7. Agree

    8. Yeah Canelo looked huge

    9. Agree

    10. Disagree for the Golovkin corner while I still think he won a close fight he had the wrong gameplan for this fight

    On point 10, I think Canelo's corner was better.

    GGG didn't use his excellent body attack, not even when Canelo had his gloves glued to his face for protection up against the ropes, not in a counter position. Go figure.

    Had GGG landed some body shots, Canelo has likely less for the final rounds.

    GGG did not look bigger! Are you kidding me! I was actually suprised how muscular Canelo looked for going up in weight fighters usually soften up a bit but he actually looked better and leaner with more muscle. Things that make you go hummmm.

    Agreed.

    Bumlovkin's chin still has yet to be properly tested. We haven't seen him get hit flush by a punching middleweight with his money punch..

    You must think he has great defence because he fought 2 of the 3 biggest punchers in the division and we're yet to see him get his knees buckled.

    Jacobs and Lemieux didn't land their money punch on Bumlovkin. It's not that the Triple Duck is some kind of defensive genius, he isn't. Far from it. It had more to do with Lemieux and Jacobs fighting tentatively and not really willing to sit down on their punches.

    You have a point I thought it was more. Compubox is pretty conservative.

    True, I always get distracted while watching it because of a crappy streaming connection.

    Canelo looked leaner but GGG looked bigger and a tad more pudgy than usual. Just my opinion.

    To be honest I don't think Golovkin slowed down, he is in with much better opposition, Jacobs and Canelo are P4P top 15, Canelo top 6.
