    I had the bout 8-4 just like Harold Lederman. But, like Lederman, I acknowledge that there were several very close rounds that could have gone either way. Therefore, a draw would not have been a bad decision (unlike the first fight).

    Canelo fought a much better fight, being aggressive and going to the body all night. GGG jabbed his way inside, and landed some very hard rights that hurt Canelo badly.

    But a win for Canelo...no way. Just proves, like Floyd, NO ONE can beat Canelo in Las Vegas without KO'd him into Bolivian.

    GGG is too old now for a rematch. Best to retire now before further deterioration sets in.

    I'm a GGG guy and the fight was really close and hard to score and honestly, I don't think a draw would have been a bad decision, but to give the title to Canelo was ridiculous. GGG was the champ and Canelo did not take his title. But hey, that is boxing nowadays where money rules all. I feel bad for GGG to lose his undefeated record like that but at least he was well paid. Boxing in Vegas is a joke
