I knew that canelo would not be able to knock out triple G because triple G would not like to end his stellar career in such an embarrassing fashion and I knew that triple G had enough guile and savvy and ring experience to avoid being knocked out. So I really don't know if canelo "should" have knocked him out, and I put the word should in quotation marks there, because although he should have done it after all his braggadocio, I don't really think it's possible to knock out a fighter as Wiley and slick as triple G if he is going to fight a fight so cautiously that you cannot really make it happen against him.

I have no problem thinking that triple G just went in there to collect a paycheck at the age of 40. But I think he also wanted to embarrass canelo and make him look rather ordinary and he certainly succeeded in that.
