One goddamn more round and triple G would have earned a draw

Would have stolen a draw

It was a close and very dull fight.

It really wasn't that close, I think you need quite a lot of bias to make this close, it came alive when Golovkin woke up in the ninth bit before that it wasn't close...

Golovkin is great, what a top class boxer

Good interview from both and Golovkin should face the best middle weights now like Charlo et al

[Spicoli]

"Do you want the rematch with Bivol if he wins next"

"I need rest"...smart man that one.

Hand injury will prevent that fight.

I wonder if triple G will kick himself in the ass that he did not try to win even one more round in the first half of the fight. I know he was pacing himself at the age of 40, but he waited just a little bit too long.

Canelo Alvarez would have DRAWN Gennady Golovkin trilogy if he lost ONE more round as controversial scores are revealed

CANELO ALVAREZ would have walked away with an unthinkable draw in his trilogy fight with Gennady Golovkin had he lost ONE more round.

The Mexican in 2017 was accused of escaping with an undeserved draw in his adopted fight home of Las Vegas.



And a year later, when Canelo emerged victorious in the rematch with a majority decision, again some felt GGG deserved the nod.

Although this time around, four years on there could be no argument as the Mexican bossed proceedings in the overdue trilogy.

But the scorecards did not reflect that, with Dave Moretti's judging it 116-112 and Steve Weisfeld as well as David Sutherland's reading 115-113.

That means, if Canelo had lost just one more round, it would have been scored 114-114, ending in a disastrous draw.

GGG held a grudge for almost half a decade having been unfortunate to walk away with without a win in their first two thrillers.

And while the trilogy fight - four years after Canelo's rematch win - did not live up the billing, it did settle the score once and for all.

He said: "Thank you so much my friend. Thank you for everything.

"We gave the fans three good fights and thank you for everything, OK."

Golovkin, 40, agreed with Canelo, 32, as the pair of boxing legend's embraced in the middle of the ring.

GGG said: "I want to shake hands with Canelo, congrats.

"The guy is a real warrior and if you don't understand, you don't understand nothing."

Golovking threw over 300 less than in the second fight and about 180 less than the first... Age has caught up with Golovkin, second fight was a pretty busy fight though... It was a pretty good trilogy but it's a shame Golovkin wasn't give the win in the first fight, so now his record looks a bit bad but anyone watching these fights will know the truth.
1 win for Golovkin 1 draw and 1 win for Alvarez is my personal score.. although I think it's fairly clear Golovkin would have the edge of he wasn't older.
