Younger Canelo wins a close decision but his counters were better. People forget young Canelo could NOT fight going forward a la Trout, Lara, Floyd, and parts of Cotto. That Canelo only did well backing up a la Angulo, Kirkland, Liam Smith, etc. And young Canelo winning against Madrimov has little to no indication for Bud who started his pro career at 135, not 154, and was 36 years old, not early 20s.
Madrimov couldn't get a decision against Crawford in a close affair, he certainly ain't getting one against Canelo
