    First was clear GGG win. Wasn't close.

    Second was Canelo in a close fight.

    No reasonable person would argue the first match wasn't close. Practically everyone universally considered the fight close.

    Yep, and most people had GGG winning a close fight. Most reasonable ones of course so you can excuse yourself.

    Choosing who to score a close fight in favor of is harder to do than to conclude if a fight is close or not. Knowing that it was a close fight is obvious. It was not obvious who won since there were many hard to score rounds and it can be debated and rationalized either way.

    We can disagree on who we thought deserved the win, but we can all agree that it was close.

    I can't really respond to the whole post here but this is my opinion I'm not an official judge I don't remember my exact reasoning for each round but I gave each round to whoever I thought was controlling the action landing the more and cleaner shots and effectively defending. Scoring rounds is completely subjectoive I thought GGG in the rounds that he won comfortable cut off the ring effectively and Canelo landed some nice counters but GGG was outlanding and outboxing him for rounds 4-9 and then it became a lot closer for the last 3 rounds. Canelo was countering well in the first 3 but GGGs effective pressuring and defense made them close for the most part.

    Not for me. I think GGG won the first fight but I wouldn't call it a robbery. It was very close.

    Second fight I thought Canelo won and it wasn't as close as the first fight.

    He defended the WBA super 15 times ( 13 ) by KO. which is the 2nd best in middleweight history. Add in the regular title defenses and he holds the record with 20. Hopkins only had 19, because you must deduct his no contest. Deal with it. Sturm ran from him, then lost to Geale, then Geale gave up the belt to prevent a humiliating loss, Canelo did the same. These belts accumulation thru fear alone was impressive. Sturms conqueror Geale later fought GGG and got what they were both trying to avoid, the inevitable total destruction. After Canelo waited a year and a half, he lost as well and they called it a draw.

    Canelo don't deserve the last 3 rounds because he did more than in the other rounds. He has to have did more than GGG but he didn't. I did give Canelo round 12, but not 10 and 11.

    The man got a draw then got his ass kicked in fight 2 no amount of crying will change that GGG lost get over it, how about y’all put this energy crying over Canelo into asking GGG to fight a legit opponent
