Round-by-Round: Golovkin vs. Canelo 1 - September 16, 2017

[Boxerbeetle]

Size of the task appears to be dawning on Canelo, looks very nervous to me.

[Tanzio]

They are both properly warmed in my estimation.

[Rob3_142]

I just cannot see GGG coming through this with his unbeaten record

[jameswilson]

Any news on what they are weighing walking into the ring?

[Tanzio]

Haven't felt this way in quite sometime. Maybe Hagler v Hearns.

[jezzamundo]

Canelo definitely the more chiseled, though that shouldn't count for anything.

[Tanzio]

This is it mofos! This is it!!

[Tinnie]

Lineal?.... really?.... did they need to pad Canelo's intro?

[jezzamundo]

Close first round, GGG wins it with his jab.

10-9 GGG

[Tanzio]

Rd 1 = gingerhead dancing. Throws a decent bod. 3G too much head hunting imo. Exactly what I expected. Very close.

10-9 3G but could have gone either way.

[Blodhemn]

GGG round but Max n Roy are already on Canelo's ballbag.

[Enlightened-One]

GGG was very inefficient during the first round. Canelo seemed better.

[Rob3_142]

First round GGG for me

[jezzamundo]

Canelo's counterpunching wins him the 2nd

19-19

[Blodhemn]

Canelo round 2.

[Tanzio]

Rd 2 = 3G not throwing enough body. GingerHead looking good. Doing what I thought. Backing him up.

10-9 GingerHead

19-19

[Rob3_142]

Second round to Canelo. 1-1

[Enlightened-One]

Alvarez happy to plant his feet during the 2nd rounding , with GGG being very inefficient again.

[lankester]

1-1 after two rounds

[lefty]

These rounds are very close.

[Enlightened-One]

Three rounds down and Golovkin's power doesn't seem to be discouraging Canelo. Alvarez is sharper. The third is a hard round to score, perhaps GGG gains the nod.

[Tanzio]

Rd 3 = 3G needs to make GingerHead work harder. 3G still not going body. Not cool. 3G playing into GingerHead game. Big 1-2 3G at bell. Very close.

10-9 3G

29-28 3G

[Fatsam]

2-1 GGG but I'm a sure its 3-0 ginger on the scorecards.

[Blodhemn]

Canelo round 3. HBO has already written GGG off. Canelo was supposed to be better early. We'll see if he can keep it up.

[HyacinthusTurnipseed]

First two close but SA rounds to me. 3rd GG.
