Excellent fight. I have ggg 8-4. Canelo rounds 2 3 10 and 12. None decisively. Ggg 1 4 5 6 7 8. 9 11. All but 1 and 11 decisively. Effective aggression and controlled the pace of the fight. Wouldn't mind seeing it again

That could have been a legit Draw...this is going to be interesting...
Edit:FWIW I would have had GGG by a point.

The draw is fair enough. Given the differences in this thread
I can see 7-5 either was so 6-6 is ok

Actually don't have a particular problem with the draw as it was a very even fight. But 118-110 Canelo is utterly laughable.
thanks for coming everyone. hope you were entertained. We'll be back in nine months to do this again because we have absolutley nothing else of interest to provide you in the interim...
Earlier today I heard there was a judge that loved Canelo and would put the decision in his favor no matter what...I'm guessing that was the 118-110 guy?
I enjoyed the hell out of that fight. I thought Canelo won. 116 -112 is his max though, Byrds card is nuts.
If you scored it for GGG you scored it more like Harold. I really disagree with his card.

So that's even more shocking.
I found some articles and realized they were talking about Moretti, who was the one that had it for GGG.
Guess those stories were bullshit.
It was an entertaining fight and we can expect a rematch in about 9 months. Hopefully the next one is even better.
I don't know how you get to 7 for canelo. I don't. There is no way he won 4-7 and 9. Those are all clear ggg rounds. It strains logic that you could give canelo 8. 1 and 11 ggg landed more and pushed the pace. I'll give canelo 2 and 3 and think you can favor him in 10 and 12 although you can make the case for ggg there
When I heard 118-110 I thought well that's lopsided for ggg
117-111 to 115-113 ggg makes sense.
Alvarez winning the last 3 rounds on all 3 scorecards is pretty hard to believe that it happened independently.

Really? I thought Canelo won 11 and 12 pretty easily and 10 was very close.
Edit: Or maybe it was 10 & 12 that were the easy Canelo rounds, can't remember. Either way, had 2 pretty clear Canelo rounds and one close one out of those three.
i hate the empty feeling from the Draw, but if I'm being honest, it doesn't seem wrong.
I had GGG by a round, two at most, and I'm a GGG mark, so it's likely I overvalued a round or two of his.

Classic case of styles making the fight and I think also a pretty good case study on how styles we favor as fans color our scoring preferences.
