[Blodhemn]

GGG round 4 clearly. Canelo slowing a bit.

[Enlightened-One]

Canelo seemed perfectly happy to stay on the ropes. GGG's piwer advantage doesn't seem obvious. Canelo might have taken that one, but the fourth was a very tough round to score.

[lankester]

2-2

[Tanzio]

Rd 4 = now 3G goes combo. 3G is having a bit of a problem pulling trigger. Now 3G gets him on ropes and picks it up. Big right 3G. 3G really picking it up. Definitely big round. Biggest round so far 3G

39-37 3G

[Tomasino]

Canelo took a breather

[HomicideHenry]

Thanks boys for doing these updates.

[jezzamundo]

Canelo outboxes GGG for the first minute of the 4th, then takes the next two minutes off. GGG round.

38-38

[Enlightened-One]

So far, Canelo is making an absolute mockery of those that feel that Daniel Jacobs would destroy Alvarez.

GGG missing lots and Canelo looking relaxed during the fifth round.

48-47 GGG

[lefty]

3-3

[diddy]

I have GGG up 5-1. Canelo better hope 2 of the cards are bought. If he even makes it to the end.

[Blodhemn]

GGG clearly round 6.

[Enlightened-One]

Golovkin's power is starting to tell im the story sixth round, but Canelo is returning fire and seems relaxed.

GGG is very inefficient and Canelo has better work.

Canelo is almost certainly not troubled by Golovkin's power.

[Boxerbeetle]

Surprised Golovkin hasn't targeted the body really.

[Tanzio]

Rd 6 = GingerHead backs 3G up. GingerHead cones on. 3G lets him throw. 3G backs him up. Lands well. GingerHead counters.

10-9 3G

59-55 3G

But it is probably even or worse.
