Paulie Malignaggi is correct.

His punches were faster and wider and also caused more physical damage. When was the last time GGG looked that busted up?

 

You missed the headbuts that caused the damage on the left side of GGGs face. Also, watch again and count the number of low blows Canelo landed....I dare ya.

 

Paulies taken too many blows to the head. Clear Canelo win.

 

All those flush right hands had nothing to do with it, it was the headbutt!

 

I don't know why you guys are still arguing about this fight
EVERYONE already knew before the openening bell rang, that if Canelo was on his feet he was going to get the win that was OBVIOUS!!
We ALL know if we are honest GGG won both fights but that the right judges were in place Why were any of you surprised ????

 

Change your name to DKSAB if you REALLY believe that

 

In general--superb post.

 

You can watch it 1000x and the results will never change if the same biases are still there.

 

Oh put your binoculars away--it's blokes online, not your weekly boy scouts meeting.

 

Like Paulie said, any reasonable person would know that GGG won.
Besides, GGG is the champion and Canelo should have taken the belts outta GGG not given as a gift by Golden Fishnet Promo.
Corrupt guys like Oscar DeLaFishnet are the ones destroying boxing

 

I erred. It was the right side of GGGs face 11th or 12th rd.

 

No, I actually gave GGG more rounds. Canelo missed a lot and was gifted a lot of blocked shots.

 

This is true.

 

The point about Golovkin stepping backward to create separation and room for his punches is correct, because you understand boxing.

 

Which begs the question, why did GGG spend most of the fight "stepping backward"?

Even though their punching output was similar to the first fight(w/GGG winning the jab battle/Canelo winning the power punch battle) Canelo took the role of the effective aggressor and ring general from GGG and made him look impotent at times. Those are the things that IMO won GGG the first fight. What changed this time(rhetorical since I know the answer), someone, anyone indulge me.
