GGG rumors of a comeback are ignited

He won 8-9 rounds in the first fight

 

118-113 GGG which includes 3 swing rounds or even rounds. If I give Canelo the benefit of the doubt in those 3 rounds its 115-113 GGG.

 

I had it 7-5 GGG

 

If you can give a clinic while losing, then he did. I gave Canelo 2,3, and 12 clearly. Sometimes I have round 1 as even. To me rounds 4 and 5 were close, but clear Golovkin rounds, then 6-11 were clear Golovkin rounds. With 10 being a great round, but still GGG'S. The bottom line Golovkin had lots of wiggle room in each fight and should have been declared the victor.Thats just me, I'm sure you feel differently. They were two great fights.

 

GGG fired Sanchez over money. A man who looked at him like a son.

That's when I knew GGG was purely only fighting for money and that his interest and motivation would dip massively after the Canelo fights.

 

Yeah, I had GGG winning the first 2 fights. I still haven't watched the 3rd.

 

I think GGG would probably do better than many think, but at 43 I just can't see him beating Crawford.

 

I accept your position but as we have been over many times many of those rounds could be scored for Canelo. 4-6, 9, 10. What it come down to is GGG had very few clear rounds won because Canelo was boxing his socks off, and being elusive. This was the most elusive version of Canelo we've ever seen. GGG simply wasn't able to land many clean shots, he would land some stuff reaching and stretching but Canelo was taking the steam off of GGG's shots. This is what you're missing in your scoring. Now could you argue GGG won some of those rounds and enough to win, I think you certainly can but these weren't clear GGG rounds, these weren't all that impressive GGG rounds if you're honest compared to how effective Canelo was. And by effective, that includes the effect that the punches had on GGG compared to GGG's on Canelo. GGG just was not able to impose his will on Canelo, outside of a handful of rounds 7-9. Really besides 7-9 there were no real clear GGG rounds, on the flip side you could say there were several clear Canelo rounds. There are many reasons to score the fight for Canelo based on what happened in there.

You typically don't give clinics while losing, only while winning. The idea of a clinic is to show viewers how to do boxing, how to get the upper hand on your opponent. You can learn a lot about how to box by studying how Canelo dealt with GGG the first time, and it is important to keep that at the forefront.

 

hope he doesnt, hes too old weak and fragile now.

 

Yep, and Canelo got spanked.

 

There were 3 clear rounds for Canelo and they were close. In most fights that are competitive, there are severely relatively close rounds that are easy to chose who won them. This was one of those fights.

 

Getting the better of somebody for 2 rounds early in the fight is not a clinic. The fight was even after 4 rounds, then GGG ran away with the entire fight, winning 7 out of the next 8 rounds. Most have the fight 8-4 Golovkin. So Golovkin gave the clinic actually.

 

If you try hard enough, you can make an arguement for Munguia deserving a win over Canelo, it didn't happen but you can try. Same thing with GGG vs Canelo # 1. It's universally recognized as a robbery for a reason. It ranks up there with all universally recognized robberies.
