He laughed so hard he got on his bike.
Canelo got lucky the first time, Golovkin never actually hit him clean. His best shots werejust a little target or Canelo turned his head to roll them. It only takes 1 to land flush.
You don't go 12 rounds by being just lucky.
Defensive prowess has a lot to do with it.
I don't disagree, Canelo is a natural counter puncher so he has a great ability in reading his opponents timing. I don't think he can go 12 more rounds without eating a clean one though.

Maybe not.
But that doesn't mean that Canelo will fall apart if he gets hit with a solid punch.
In most cases, to get elite fighters out of there, you need to hit them with combinations. Quickly follow up a big shot with a series of them.
Any fighter can get hit hard once. But getting those finishers in can be very very difficult against the world's top guns.

I've got Naoya Inoue, Josh Taylor and Mairis Briedis winning their WBSS tournaments in a treble. £10 returns £143.
Groves is 11/4 for the stoppage and 13/8 for a decision win over Smith. Don't really see Smith beating a healthy Groves so take your pick with those 2 options imo.
The 4/1 on Donaire definitely seems interesting. I'll wait to see how he looks at the weight first but he didn't exactly look shot against Frampton and his only losses have come to (in my opinion) better fighters than Burnett.
Got 7/2 on Golovkin by decision last year. Only 15/8 this time.

As a point of interest, Mexico's national sports book has Golovkin at +210 to win a decision. A little better return than you're getting.
Those odds should begin to rocket Friday when heavy betting on the fight begins in Mexico.
Right now the odds of Canelo winning a decision are the same, +210.
So there's no evidence at the books that Canelo is a shoo-in to win a tainted decision, as so many contend.
