Does anybody else think Canelo won the first against GGG and lost the second?

    I saw Glass City Cobra say that he had Canelo winning the first fight and had GGG winning the second. I had it the opposite, well actually I had GGG winning both fights. However, I could see how Canelo could be given the nod or draw in the second fight. It was a relatively close fight, and I thought Canelo did much better than in the first, and so I could see how some got to a Canelo win. The first fight, I simply can't get to a Canelo win. Which is why what GCC said struck me. If I was to give any fight to Canelo it would be the second one, yet he felt Canelo deserved the first one more... Anybody else agree with the view that Canelo won the first but lost the second?

    No..I had G winning both 7-5
    I'm making an edit here. I remembered I scored 1st fight 8-4 G. I thought that was more than generous.

    I had GGG winning the first convincingly but only 7-5 in the second, meaning changing one round makes it a draw, which would have been ok.

    I thought it was the opposite, Canelo loosing the first one and winning the second.

    Canelo won the first by a mile, and I had him winning the second, but I wouldn't quibble over a close card for GGG.

    I had the first 7-5 GGG but could see a case for 6-6 second had it 8-4 GGG.

    I thought he won both, but a better argument can be made for GGG winning the 2nd.

    Using the 10pt must, Canelo won both.
    Using the amateur scoring system, GGG has a good argument.

    That and whether you value clean hard punches or volume.

    Isal and Shadow in the same thread. Holy ****. I didn't know there could be so much toxicity in one place.

    I thought Canelo won more rounds in the first than he did in the second, but not enough to give him either.
