    Look at the judges cards, I don't agree with them but it's there in black and white.

    I think you are getting confused, I'm on Golovkin's side here. I thought he won both fights against Canelo.

    I would hope not. Would you say he changed tactics in this fight however and found more success being more aggressive?

    Yes he definitely did. Very impressive, its not something any fighter can do. Neither GGG or Canelo's back touched the ropes once in the fight, that is impressive as well!

    Not much between a 35/36 year old GGG and a 27/28 Canelo is one way to look at it. The other is, I thought GGG handily won the first fight. So a past his prime GGG (on many a card) beat a prime Canelo. While Canelo did better and I was REALLY impressed with his aggressiveness and generalship, I still had GGG winning, but a lot closer. So IMO, suffice to say, the best I could say for Canelo is... There isn't much in between a past his prime GGG and a Prime Canelo

    Spot on with this post, my thoughts exactly. I give credit to Canelo for changing his game plan but if want to score the fight the way the judges did for Canelo, then the 1st fight should have def went in favor of GGG.

    So so correct. The big G s being built up as some massive killer .First time he met a guy who could give and take he floundered. Hagler has now gone even further up my estimation.

    Very little between them. I had Canelo by a bee's dick or a draw. Canelo gassed a bit and GGG came on which brought things very close.

    Did Hagler murder or outbox everyone of his opponents?
