    a) He didn't sweep the first three. He won the 1st and the next two were close but clear for Golovkin (although I can see why people scored them for Canelo, which is forgivable but still wrong IMO).

    b) I didn't have it wide (and would say that Golovkin edged it clearly but not "comfortably"), in fact only had a round separating them but do think a draw is too generous for Canelo.

    A) you are entitled to you opinion but your opinion isn’t end all. Many people scored 2-3 of the 1st 4 for Canelo so it’s clearly not out of line.
    B) I wasn’t singling you out

    Perhaps you haven't heard of Miguel Angel "Junito" Cotto who was notoriously known for having bad stamina only to improve his stamina significantly under Pedro Diaz.

    I was of the opinion that Canelo would have better stamina at 160 as he wouldn’t have to go for the gruelling weight cut like he did at 154 but that was before he came in looking like the Hulk,many did say at the time that he’d of been better served without the extra muscle so if he’s learnt from that and I think he has,he may well improve his stamina this time.

    well, that and Byrd obviously pre-filling out her scorecard.

    Somehow it feels like Canelo was more competitive in the rematch even though I scored it wider than I did the first one. :nusenuse:

    (115-113 Golovkin in 2017; 116-112 Golovkin in 2018)
