No doubt it was close. Canelo is world class. But there is no argument for him winning or getting a draw. I thought this was easier to judge than the Jacobs fight.
Just a friendly reminder that @IsaL thought Marquez beat Pac more clearly in their 3rd fight than Mayweather beat Canelo LOL.
Round starts with Canelo landing a solid jab, putting G off balance, G missing with a counter jab. Canelo blocks a G jab, then blocks a G uppercut to the body with his arm / elbow. Canelo gets in a left hook to the side of the head around G's guard. (partly blocked by G) G covers up, Canelo throws a right upper, looks like G avoided it, but it may have landed glancingly. (hard to tell) Canelo then lands a hard jab right on the eyes that forces G to back up and reset. Canelo throws two more jabs, both appeared to be blocked. G appears to land a jab, may have been partly blocked, then G throws that “tight hook behind the head”, looks like Canelo ducked that punch, and blocks the follow up left hook from G. (Canelo pushes off with a jab that appears to be blocked by G) Now with 2:30 left in the round, G throws a jab, partly blocked by Canelo it appears. Canelo responds with a jab of his own, partly blocked by G it appears. Canelo then gets in a straight right to the body, followed by a quick left hook to the head. May have been blocked by G, hard to tell, then a uppercut that appears to be blocked by G. (this was a 3 punch combo) Then another jab by Canelo. (may have been partly blocked as well) G throws a jab, Canelo avoids it mostly, may have landed somewhat but Canelo was moving away. G blocks a left hook to the body with his arms then blocks a right straight by Canelo. Canelo blocks a G jab, Canelo blocks a a right hook, then blocks a left hook from G. G short with a jab, the G misses a right. Canelo avoids a left hand from G. G blocks 2 punches from Canelo, With 2:10 left, Canelo gets in a left hook to the stomach, G misses a jab, Canelo then lands a hard jab that hits G on the forehead. With 2:05 left, Canelo avoids a G jab. 2:01 left Canelo lands another flush jab on the G’s head. Canelo ducks 2 punches from G, Canelo blocks a 3rd, then G appears to get in a left hook that may have been partly blocked but appears to have hit the side of Canelo’s head. Both men throw a left hook at the same time, Canelo’s may have got in but partly blocked, G’s was short. Canelo avoids a G jab. Canelo misses a right hand. Canelo then gets in a hard jab as G is throwing a jab as well, G’s appears to come up short. G throws a right hand but Canelo avoids it along the ropes. G appears to get in a short right hand then the sequence along the ropes occurs with Canelo putting on a defensive clinic along the ropes. This is the half way point in the round. Now at this point Canelo is clearly winning the round. Canelo has landed more jabs thus far than G, he landed a body shot, just more significant punches. The tight right hook behind the head from G that you mentioned Canelo appears to duck. That wasn’t a significant punch. The 4 jabs G landed in quick succession, the first 2 missed, the 2nd two landed but had no force on them. He was just touching Canelo with the jab, not hard jabs like the jabs Canelo landed earlier in the round. Most of what G threw with Canelo on the ropes got blocked, G appears to get another Jab in with about 1:10 left, possibly another glancing one a moment later, but Canelo was slipping or blocking almost all of these punches. It really was a defensive clinic and I don’t see how you can argue that these punches won G the round. Canelo now moves off there ropes and both men land a jab simultaneously. Then Canelo appears to get in a right hook to the side of G’s body. (may have been partly blocked but it got in) Canelo gets in a jab then blocks a G counter left hook. Then G avoids a Canelo left hook. Canelo blocks a G jab, then Canelo gets in a one-two to the body. Canelo blocks a G jab. G throws another jab, may have gotten in hard to tell from the camera angle. Canelo then blocks 2 G jabs, and Canelo gets in a hard jab of his own. G counters with a straight right hand that mostly misses but appears to have grazed Canelo’s chin as it passed by. Canelo gets in another flush jab to the face that snaps G’s head back. Canelo then blocks a light G jab, then counters with a well timed straight right that snaps G’s head back again. G is short with a jab as Canelo backs away, Canelo throws a jab of his own may have been partly blocked. G misses with a jab, Canelo misses with a counter left upper. G misses with a left hook, Canelo blocks a G jab. Canelo then appears to hit G with a right hand cross the face. (hard to tell if it landed from the angle) G’s starting to get frustrated misses a few punches, Canelo is backing away, blocks one more G jab to the end the round. That’s the whole entire round. Canelo landed the better punches in this round. He landed way more significant jabs. The jabs G landed with Canelo on the ropes had no power on them, he just touched him a few times with his glove. This was a Canelo round through and through. If you want to argue my round summary, then please list G’s best punches of the round and time stamp them.
Shadow 111 has special goggles he wears when watching boxing. His dad uses them for welding every now and again. God knows I am no friend of Floyd but Canelo did NOT beat him, even though I wish he had. Thanks for proving me right, I thought he'd said Canelo beat Floyd at one time
lol Vegas is Mayweather's hometown. I didn't have a problem with the 114-114, but that's not how I saw the fight. If you go through my posts, I specifically pointed out that I disagreed with Ross, as she had the 1st round and the 8th round for Canelo which I thought were pretty clearly Floyd rounds.
This is actually what I did with Floyd Canelo a few months back for all 12 rounds but I didn't post it because I didn't want to bore anyone. This one I just did on the spot lol.
But you have proven yourself to be biased on this forum time and time again. So your opinion is worthless
Nope you got the wrong guy. I never said I thought Canelo beat Floyd, just that it wasn't a 12-0 shutout or 11-1 Floyd as others have claimed. I attempted to go through each round of Floyd Canelo at one point but it kinda fizzled out.
I try to be as unbiased as possible. I mean I just described pretty much every punch of round 4. Go through it yourself and reference my punch summary and show specifically where I'm wrong. Better yet, point out G's best punches of the round and we can compare that to Canelo's best punches of the round. It's easy to just call someone biased and be done with it, but you haven't actually put in the effort like I have to go through the rounds with the kind of detail needed.
Ellerbe quoted a post of yours where you said "Mayweather won a hometown decision over Canelo" Maybe you meant something other than what I take that to mean.
