I thought it was a very good fight, all this suggestion that canelo was running I really don't agree with, ok he was going backwards but he took a lot of chances to land his own punches

and he landed a lot of eye catching combinations

and you have to admire his toughness and his chin, he was clearly smaller than GGG and he took a lot of big punches but was never really phased by any of them and always came back and tried to land himself

BUT I thought GGG was the only winner in terms of punches landed and the way he controlled the action and the pace, I don't see how anyone could score it even

Fair enough That sounds like a decent assessment of the fight. I'm going to get my hands on the HBO broadcast and watch it again whilst scoring it to see if my opinion has changed. I actually thought the drawn scorecard was fair and I was far more impressed with Canelo overall but I've only watched it the once.
