    A few men reading out their interpretation of the fight does nothing to stifle my enjoyment.

    At one point it did used to bother me if a fight didn't go the way I saw it but then I had an epiphany that actually my thoughts don't matter. The result will never be overturned, perhaps there'll be a rematch where they can go at it again but regardless Canelo is now the number 1 in the division and if someone wants to be number 1 they have to face him now.

    Instead of focusing on scorecards now I just enjoy the performance. Golovkin fought a good fight, Canelo fought a good fight. If the two face off again I'd favour Golovkin based on what I saw last night.

    But yeah I'm happy I got to see a good fight.

    I'd be very surprised if you never watch another GBP fight again though.

    Yes I agree .. The problem for GGG was that basically he should have known that after how the first fight went, he basically needed a KO to get the win and that just wasn't going to happen.. Should he "have" to fight accordingly, absolutely not. But the first 9 rounds was a chess match, very close, but neither fighter opened up a little and let it go .. Boring to me if you will, and GGG needed to open up earlier than Canelo did, imo, for these reasons … I noticed how good his footwork was too which lead to the best shots of the night, the GGG uppercuts for me … Too close to be a robbery, but GGG by 2 points … but the more popular fighter gets the nod

    Just watched a fight and scored it 115-114 to Canelo. I am surprised that so many people see it as a robbery. Many even rounds which could be scored either way. But no way a robbery. I gave rounds 2,3,6,7,8,9 and 12 to Canelo. Third round even and rest to GGG. I hope there will be third bout next year.

    Wow, 64 more replies than in the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao (oh man, do we have to start calling it Mayweather vs. Pacquiao I now??????) RBR thread ...making it #7 all time on this board.

    edit: #8, actually. May vs. Pac is now ranked ninth.

    Is it Goldenboys fault that GGG made no adjustments and retreated away from the smaller man from round 1 to round 12?

    I think Charlo would beat Golovkin at this point.
