    I, along with most, totally believed GGG did enough to get the nod. Don't think a draw was crazy based on scoring rounds (although 118-110 was nuts), but thought it should have gone to GGG. The entire fight, I kept saying one thing...

    WHY ISN'T GGG GOING TO THE BODY?!?

    Especially in rounds 4-10 he had Canelo on the ropes constantly and not once was he making an effort to attack the body. For a fighter who has been known to be a devastating body puncher, this was very surprising to see. IMO a sustained body attack would have tired Canelo out even more and easily won GGG the fight.

    Canelo on the other hand, did some great work to the body in rounds 1-4, then for some reason completely abandoned it. It made no sense and likely would have won him the fight had he continued.

    Interested to hear everyone's thoughts on the above!
