My first scorecard I had it a win for ggg, second I wasn’t sure and thought a draw was probably appropriate, and of course the third was a clear win for canelo. I always felt really bad for ggg in regards to canelo- he wanted canelo immediately but had to wait a couple years after canelo won his first title while canelo waited for him to get older- he actually waited until after ggg struggled with Danny Jacobs. Ggg pretty clearly wins the fight, loses the event and the decision in what I consider absurd judging at best. Come the rematch, canelo gets popped for clenbuterol and comes up with the bogus excuse of Mexican meat, fight gets postponed and an aging ggg has to break camp and start over. To canelos credit, he actually fought a different game plan and did better in the rematch, which had stricter drug testing- but no test appears to be unbeatable, especially with the best resources- and imo his entire career is now suspect- an opinion I hold on all caught fighters, not just him. Gets the decision- not a surprise, we know what judges do when they see him fight, still a bummer but he had more big moments in the second fight than ggg did- although ggg’s late fight push and stunning canelo late was one of the most amazing pushes I’ve ever seen in the sport, and sort of adds to what a shame it is that it all went the way it did for ggg. Because he has NO leverage for the third fight, canelo eventually gives him the last shot when he’s visibly slown down and is there just for the paycheck. If the first fight had been judged correctly, financial terms would have been advantageous for ggg, he would have been in a much stronger negotiating position, and canelos (EXCELLENT) team wouldn’t have had so much power in making terms, and canelos (EXCELLENT) ability to sell the narrative of what was happening in the fight to the judges may have further faltered. We’ll never know.
I had my 11 year old watch foreman v Lyle a couple months ago and he was screaming at my phone and jumping up out of his seat by the end
