    50% of Clenelo fans do. The other 50% don't really believe it, but will insist Clenelo won.

    Eh, compubox stats…..

    With that said, I felt GGG edged bout 1, but I felt Canelo more clearly won the rematch, him switching it up to a come forward style was ballsy and really impressed me that night.

    There really isn't a doubt among anyone who isn't an outright Canelo stan. It was a very clear win for GGG, 9-3 or 8-4. The jab was consistently dictating the action, along with a steady supply of crosses, hooks and uppercuts to establish what should've been a clear decision for GGG. It was a shocking decision, 118-110 to Canelo from Adalaide "Specsavers" Byrd is still perhaps the worst scorecard in boxing history.

    No, and I think he lost the second match as well. Because GGG proved to be superior on the front foot in the first match and superior on the back foot in the rematch. But what does that prove? GGG is a top tier P4P fighter, I don't think anyone would beat that version of him easily.... whoopty doo.

    Yes. That was his last horah!GGG got old in the 2nd fight and Canelo took the torch of him and lit him up with it.Passing of the guard.It happens.Younger GGG would have been too much for Clenelo.But age is undefeated.At first i thought it was the peds.But the more i see GGG the slow feet and timing was slow as molasses.I knew it’s Father Time.

    I honestly think think GGG won both fights with the first fight certainly a more clearer win .

    To answer your question, sure some people believe Clenelo won…

    Maybe even Saul himself if he’s been drinking :eek:

    No. Golo was superior in every facet and the judging was abysmal

    Granted I didn't score every round but from what I saw GGG won the fight and I called it amongst mates that the fight would be deemed a draw.

    Did Canelo Milk Man Alvarez even win the 2nd?

    Do I think Canelo deserved a win? No, but I researched it a couple years after it happened and indeed had it a draw. The second fight as well.
