I'm not a fan of Canelo and it's my first time to watch his fight so this is an unbias decision from me. I guess this fight was the nearest defeat for triple G
Exactly, Canelo looks like winning than triple G, it's just rather unfair to settle for a draw but what can you say it's boxing and if you don't go with your own judge by knocking down your opponent it's likely to be decided against you.
These replies show that some people saw Canelo as a winner and other saw Golovkin as the winner, so I guess the best decision was a draw, but most boxing experts point to a win of GGG. The 118-110 card in favor of Canelo by one of the judges was absolutely fucked tho.

That one judge who scored the fight 118-110 should be banished. But as per NSAC, will not suspend her and still can judge but won't work anytime soon. Her scoring is very controversial. Is she watching a different fight? Its not even reflective of the other two judges who score it very very very close. For me NSAC needs to suspend her and possible ban her from judging if she have made another controversial scoring in the future..

Apparently she has fucked up scoring on MMA too. What the hell does that middle aged woman know about boxing? They should get world champions as judges, that actually have fought and know how things work, not some old people with probably no boxing experience.
Anyway, the fight was nice. There's too much hate on the fight due the decision. Even with the Byrd disaster, the fight was tight. People saying GGG clearly won are obvious GGG fanboys. Canelo did a decent job.
Yes, as was expected the fight was really close as it can get. No clear winner to me, that's why a rematch is needed to settle once and for all who is the best boxer in the planet. Both of them really show the heart of a champion. It was indeed a fight of the year candidate as well.
So this lady judges has fucked up a lot of fights so its time for her to quit this job. This is not for her. Why not hire retired boxers or even referees to be the judge? I know that we are all humans and prone to mistakes but this is not the first time that this judge has messed up big time.
