    2 of the judges giving Canelo the last round says it all really.

    GGG dominated the last 3rd of the fight, but the preceding 2/3rds of the fight were a genuine coin-flip depending on what you like to see from your fighter.

    I honestly think it was too close to call, so would have favoured a Draw.

    The only thing that does grind a bit though is the 2 Judges giving Canelo the last round. I can understand why Judges would give Canelo the nod over-the-piece, but not on the last round!

    Anyway, great fight - 2 elite competitors! 3rd instalment please (preferably not in Vegas though!),

    What would be the justification for giving it to Canelo over the piece? You break it down round by round and even giving Canelo the close rounds GGG still wins by a point or 2.

    That’s a legacy destroyed through either incompetence or blatant skullduggery.

    Justification? How about preferring Canelo's work to GGG's? That's all the justification that someone needs!

    I agree with your last sentence though- the 2 Judges giving Canelo the 12th round is plain baffling. Either incompetence or blatant skullduggery in effect.

    However, that doesn't change my opinion that the fight could have gone any of the 3 ways possible and there still would have been justifiable debate!

    It really was that close.

    We love to see a third!

    Preference isn’t a judging variable. There’s distinct ways to judge a fight and using them GGG won it.

    He has so much talent but he's such a scumbag, he comes across as a psychopath. I imagine he has done so much * like this in his life to people, something really off with him there always has been.

    Not the first time he’s done something like that.

    Great fight, one of the best I’ve seen in years. Result could’ve gone any way.

    BJS will get what’s coming to him at some point no doubt about that. It’s the kind of behaviour you could excuse a kid from exhibiting, but not a man of almost 30. Watching a couple of professional fighters drive around in Rolls Royce and bully some of the most vulnerable people in society is pretty sickening.
