Here he is, one of many times where he concedes defeat and says the judges had it right. This content is protected
Golovkin's team think they won, as they should... they are being polite because they want that 3rd fight. It was a great fight, the 2 best MWs for sure. I had GGG the winner though, 116-112.
He also told GGG that he gave round 3 away in the first fight. Two of the judges gave GGG that round. His opinion really means just about as much as anyone else's except for the official judges.
Round 3 was a clear Canelo round. But yes, he is just human ans subject to error. With that said, I've seen at least three different interviews and he seems to agree that the right man got the victory. Even tries to explains why GGG lost.
My thing is that if the fight is 7-5 either way then each fighter didn't do enough to secure a for sure victory and its up to the judges. Whatever way it goes then that's the way it is. That's why there is rematches. I think Abel is trying to get the rematch. Just like Marques and Pac. GGG is making a career out of fighting Canelo. At this point I would be saying thanks for the money. I saw the first fight really close. The judges clean punches and not all of them carry the same value so its hard to tell what they are actually looking at.
