    I had it 117-111, although I was waffling on the 12th, it could have gone either way, I said 116-112 was also fine.

    Gets me every time I listen on the BBC how they expect everything to be fair,they used a current Middleweight in this case Andrade to give an expert opinion and his was 115/113 Golovkin.from the sound of it Canelos corner knew theyed won after the bell,hence the antics.

    Is there some reason Álvarez vs. Murata can't be made? :thinking:

    If anything, you'd think more long-term rivalry opportunity (eg trilogy ...and thus maximum profit) exists with Álvarez than with 36 year old Golovkin. :nusenuse:

    Plus with Álvarez you give Murata the change to land a big punch (even though he did show a good chin tonight), whereas you don't expect a Golovkin fight to do anything but go twelve..

    116-112 is about what I had it. I didn't score the 6th fully because I missed s good minute or so.

    114-114

    anything from 113-115 either way is acceptable enough. A number of close rounds, no clear winner, very good, close, bout with only a few clear rounds either way

    Some weird scores on the cards. Giving Canelo clear GGG rounds.

    Think they felt it would be easy to get GGG to the Tokyo dome

    The twelfth was very even but still it wouldn’t of helped Golovkin anyway.

    I the manner of the fight. Like Roy said, when the aggressor was on the backfoot nearly all fight, he's not getting a decision.

    I had GGG winning 3-5 and Canelo winning the 6th. 4th was really damned close, though.

    I had it 7-5 GGG (with two swing rounds).

    IntentionalButt had it 8-4 GGG. So did UTF.

    I think Pinoy scored it to Canelo and so did Dren.
