Well, you're the one claiming Canelo won the 10th, while in reality, he lost that round as well.
He never imo, although it was close. I gave Golovkin rounds 3 & 11 which were also close, he had a little more consistant success where as 10 he was outboxed either side of his momentary success in the middle. This is how fights are scored. You assess the round over the full 3 minutes.
GGG outpointed him easely in nearly every round, not only the rounds you mentioned.

I'll say to all GGG fans that I side with you on this one. I edge this fight in favor of G.
But check out the exchange between 1:41 and 1:05 of the 10th round. G lands a massive right hand on the jaw just below the temple. notice A's eyes and what his left hand does... looks to me like he is most definitely scrambled. The proverbial GGG KO punch. Followed with a left to the face of Alvarez.
What happens next is either a pretty amazing display of survival by A, or some crazy good theater.
G tries to follow up but he can't because A is weaving back and forth but still looking like he is in trouble. 1,2,3,4,5...G throws like 8 shots in about 10 seconds and misses them all !? Then Alvarez regains a modicum of composure, starts coming forward again and quickly catches G with a nice hooking right uppercut to the jaw; and then proceeds to land 4 or 5 solid power shots over the next 10 seconds or so, punctuating with a wicked liver shot at 1:05. .
Gotta give Alvarez loads of credit for escaping that moment (the beginning of the end for vast majority of GGG opponents)and actually driving G back to end the round looking more than respectable.
Or...maybe GGG was trying to miss?
IT was a brilliant round. I think GGG was too gassed to follow it up with anything meaningful and Alvarez started throwing back pretty quickly. I think although Canelo was hurt he knew GGG poured alot into that flurry, and given he had more in the tank he seen it as an opportunity. 10-9 Alvarez.
GGG CLEARLY won the 10th round - that's coming from a guy who scored the fight a draw.
