    I personally thought he should have won both times against Canelo and thought he was jobbed. But at the end of the day he did bring this on himself and should have known what was gonna happen and what he should’ve done. He made this image of himself as being this feared come forward destroyer with KO power who can’t be beat. With all his talk about fighting Mexican style, punishing him and KOing him he gave people those expectations that he would dominate Canelo. Instead he looked vulnerable both times. When he failed to fully impose himself again and not fight his usual fight this time and made it close that became his undoing. I think at the end of the day the fight was still close enough to be considered a reason to give the nod to Canelo, no matter who you thought should have won.

    I think the lesson learned here is to not talk so big about what youre going to do in the ring and have people create expectations. If you don’t do what people expect you to do it will backfire. When Canelo proved GGG wrong by actually fighting the fight that he wanted and still made it tough that’s when you make yourself look bad. He asked for a “Big Drama Show” and a Mexican style fight and he finally got it, just didn’t go the way he wanted it. It is what it is.

    Takes two to dance and GGG let Canelo take the lead and out boxed his ass.
