    If Golovkin didn't rally back late, he would have been knocked out for sure, and the fact canelo won the fight on two judges score cards by walking the supposedly bigger, stronger Golovkin down proves my point. Most posters here cannot read the momemtum of a fight instead they act like cry babies and don't think rationally, like women who picks sides based on who they like.

    And no, I didn't go into this fight wanting Canelo to win, not after his clenbuterol scandal.

    All three cards were the exact same for the first 6 rounds. That's unbelievable.

    This, because they were pre-filled.

    Had it a draw. im fine being 7 5 both ways. Although Canelo arguably won he didnt do it impressive enough. golovkin at age 36 proved he was an equal match to Canelo.
    Canelo got the decision through benefit of doubt. Everyone knew this would happen. If Golovkin wanted to maintain his belts he shouldnt have take the fight. everyone knew Canelo would get the win in this kind of scenario. Still, cant say its a robbery. Razor close fight.

    So some idiot says scoring 'Punches landed' is not as important as scoring 'defence'.

    If you're being outlanded, your defence is weaker ffs.

    Calling this a robbery is ridiculous.

    IB had it 116-112 and I had it 117-111 for Golovkin. Go back and watch it tomorrow, you'll be pissed as hell, GGG was robbed blind again.

    It's actually the perfect avatar for a GGG fan to choose in an avatar bet because of its goofiness.

    If you're being out landed by 1 or two by a guy throwing significantly more your defense is better.

    Context to everything is key.
