Round 1, 4, 5 and 8 to Canelo. The rest to Crawford.

1,4,8, and 10 were all close rounds. Round 5 was the only I thought Canelo won clear, the other rounds were close where I gave him only the slightest edge.
I had it exactly like judge Max DeLuca.

Canelo: 1, 2, 5, 8, 9.

Crawford: 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12.

Rounds 4 and 9 were interesting in a sense that - Crawford started both rounds extremely well, winning the 1st minute of the round. But then kind of eased off and let Canelo steal the rest of the round with some nice single shots.

That said, I gave the 4th to Craw. 9th to Canelo.

I'll probably rewatch it in coming days.

But as of now, I didn't see this fight as a whitewash, like many did.
No it wasn't a Whitewash, but it still felt like Crawford was the clear winner. 8 rounds to 4 or 7 rounds to 5 for him is proper scoring I think.
Yes, very much so. I think, Crawford's surge in rounds 11 and 12 sealed the deal and left no doubt about the winner. But thru 10 rounds, there were many nip-and-tuck rounds.
