Golovkin outlanded Canelo clearly in the trilogy.

Meanwhile people are still salty about RJJ being robbed in the olympics. "But it was the official decision!"

 

I actually fancy rewatching the trilogy.

 

GGG won all three. I recall we had a discussion about the third fight : you have to cut the sound and watch it muted. GGG controlled the fight with his jab.

 

Yeah and if you watch Floyd vs Manny in slow motion Manny wins, lol.

 

Not even I think GGG won the third one. He'd have needed Adelaide Byrd to judge it for him.

I will say that he could have won the third one if he'd stepped on the gas a bit earlier, though.

 

I thought Gologvkin won the first two fights pretty clearly, but especially the first. I'd have to look back but I thought GGG won 9-3.

 

It's Golovkin's fault. He's a better boxer than Canelo so he wanted to go back to his boxing roots. That's why the new trainer. Nothing wrong with that except for somehow nobody seemed to notice how freaking slow he had become. Very hard to outbox a guy when that guy holds a very significant speed edge. In my opinion he needed to attack Canelo's cardio, by moving in close and making him work all the time in a slugfest right in the trenches. Wrestle him, lean on him, short punches to the body and head. Don't let him rest. Canelo loves slow fights where he can dictate the pace, and Golovkin gave him one. Canelo's cardio is not great because his knees are not allowing him to do enough roadwork in my opinion.

 

They robbed GGG of the wins he gained in the first two fights. Then waited for him to become ancient to finally get a legitimate win over him, which was not needed because GGG was 2-0 up at that point.

 

This.

 

This is revisionist. After fight 2 GGG went off the rails a bit. Demanded a fight 3 be held at MSG and I believe wanted more control over judge selection (again) even though the judge he okayed for fight 2 (who had him winning fight 1) had him losing fight 2.

GGG 1 / DRAW / Canelo 3
