    It seems as though if Golovkin doesn't absolutely destroy everyone and KO them then he shouldn't win. He won comfortably against a prime Alvarez at 35 years off age. It was a bull**** decision.

    He didn't win comfortably. Canelo lit him up like a firecracker!

    Why should he change his game plan when winning? Because not every shot land?

    You are accusing compubox of a bias, not me.

    Personally I felt Golovkin's jab was on the money, and landing clean. I saw Golovkin land more telling blows to the head. Canelo is the only guy I saw get rocked and visibly hurt by punches. Golovkin also blocked alot of these Canelo punches.

    He was missing that same right hand all night long, he didn't know what to do. He should have switched it downstairs.

    This I agree with. He should have done more body work. Golovkin is simply devastating to the body and Canelo was doing good defensive work against GGG's power punching.

    Triggered is a word coined by Millenials to describe other Millenials.

    Not my generation, mate. I'm not angry - just contemptuous of the pathetic little girls firing poisoned arrows at better men from behind a keyboard.

    Have some self-respect.

    50% of GGG's activity was swatting air.

    GGG won the fight by a few rds. I don't see the draw. But, Canelo gets rds for just being "Cinnamon", so, that can never be counted out. However, Canelo' s defense and boxing skills are terribly underrated. Had he stayed off the ropes and kept the fight at ring center more, he would have won that fight, legitimately. He and his camp will review the tapes and they will shore this up in a rematch. Canelo's chin deserves more credit as well. He took some hard shots at times, from a ferocious puncher, and he just shook them off.

    GGG was almost himself. But, he looked puzzled early on and leary of being hit clean. Hence, those hands stayed up, head shots only, no body shots. He slipped a decent amount of Canelo's punches too, though. So, his defense gets credit as well. His chin is slightly overrated. He took some bombs, and he knew when to back off, but mostly came forward. He sure as hell wasn't gonna urge Canelo to punch with him.

    I think a rematch favors Canelo. They have seen what GGG can do. Canelo is not intimidated by the power or the skills. And he knows he can slip most of what GGG throws with head and waist movement, and land to the head or body.

    I have just watched the fight again, and i have no doubt that GGG won, Canelo did virtually nothing really and was a real let down, he should be embarrassed, running away most of the fight, whilst all the aggression being shown by GGG, i watched it again on a foreign channel and missed the first round but i scored it from round 2 and had it 110-104 for GGG.
