    Munguia admitted he lost and Canelo was too experienced for him. Shows how woeful/biased some of the scorecards on this thread are.

    8-4 for me + the kd

    Just too clever with more tricks, more calm, more experience.

    He looks at the end of his career, though. Like when Golovkin against murata, or an older larry holmes. An old, shop worn canelo is still better than most but the counters aren't quite as sharp, not quite so much bounce, not quite the speed, not quite output.

    Still a very good fight - mungia is exciting to watch. Just not quite good enough tonight.

    I’m a Canelo detractor but he won that fight clearly. Won 6 rounds at absolute worst plus the knockdown

    Does that apply to the other 90% here who thought Canelo won?

    Maybe, maybe not. Idk... I actually think Crawford could potentially do ok... but the actual fight aside, whether it's a blowout or not, I doubt they care as much about the competitiveness of the fight in reality as much as how much money it would make relative to the other options there for both fighters.

    Canelo is a tank. Munguia could not hurt him and he nailed him with his best.

    Benavidez is a problem for Canelo. He's superior to Munguia in everything.

    How the hell could anyone have that fight for Munguia? It wasn't even close. It was a schooling.

    Benavidez reminds me of Errol Spence. Overrated. Gonna get smashed once he steps up.
