Wow, such a good fight. I disagree with it being a draw I had it 8-4. But some rounds were close and because of that judge made it a draw. But to me I didn't see it draw, maybe 7-5. But wtf is 118-110 to canelo is just BS.
A draw is good in terms we get to see it again but then it would be unfair for golovkin who did enough to win it. I did watch hbo and some score they have I wouldn't I agree. I gave last round to golovkin but it was close.
It started off slow testing each other out, but golovkin was smart to rack in the points while testing him out. Then canelo started to pick up the pace and won round 2 and 3.
Now they both were at their peak and full prepared. But I could see golovkin was nervous because of the hype of canelo and most of the fights golovkin has been against had little hype and golovkin was comfortable to knock them out but once it started to get to people like kell brook, jacobs, who people felt would be challenge or have a few support he's confidence would go down slightly, more so with daniel jacobs, therefore he was cautious, so not really a decline, but also they are boxers making it hard for ggg who likes people who come forward who don't slick and slide. So in this fight ggg was nervous and anxious about canelo's counter punching abilities but later on started to relax, you could see ggg's corner trying to slow his heart beat down.
Now canelo I don't know why, but he had potential, but he relied too much on counter punching and because of that he would tend to move back, would jump in sometimes but most of the time would get himself backed into the ropes hoping to do something but he just was not successful and I think that was his game plan to counter punch and knock him out. So because of that canelo became less active and giving ggg confidence. GGG was flat footed but he also had good defense and showed good dodging. Then this was repeated for the rounds 4-9, round 10 they knew canelo was behind and told him to fight for his life in the last 3 rounds.
Last round was as was expected war and canelo showed his speed and combo, which was a close round, so I think it was golovkin, but not disappointed if they give it to canelo.
So I had it 8-4, no less than 7-5.
Now what canelo should have done, but didn't do because he was anxious of ggg's power. He should have jumped on him throw the combos like he did in a few early rounds and also did in the last round, ggg's power didn't hurt him when he landed, but because canelo relied too much on counter he became inactive instead he should have jumped on ggg and threw combos, that's where I had a feeling if it went full 12 rounds he would have won cos he can jump in land some combo's and jump out.
And what ggg should have done is land more to the body, in that fight he nearly landed almost nothing, 10-20 in the entire fight. If he had more it would have been more effective and canelo's counter punch should be a thing to worry because canelo did not carry his power to the middleweight as well as ggg being effective in defence and have a good chin.
This should have been an all out war as they both were capable of winning this way, no one could really hurt each other but because of being anxious they had to be defensive.
Also ggg landed very little power punches, he almost like just touches them or jabs them alot, I anticipate that when canelo is against the ropes with guard up, I would expect ggg to unleast but he would just tap his head, jab to the side and to the top and that's it move back.
So this makes me remeber mayweather pacquiao, just like this they expected fireworks, but they both anticipated each others power and boxing prowess and they decided to play it safe. But with this fight towards the end they became confident to combat and fight.
In their rematch, canelo needs to jump on ggg at the beginning and shouldn't worry about ggg hitting his as canelo is quick in and then out and ggg should be more confident unleash more, go to the body and land more power punches. But if the rematch goes 12 rounds I give it to canelo is he instead of backing up and trying to counter he should initiate the attack to get the points and get out, don't stand in the pocket longer then you need to, if he did this, then I am confident he would win the rematch easy.
But GGG should have won.
