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.

LOL. These are the people that had Canelo winning the fight.

i had canelo winning the fight but no way did he win the 10th, that was the most significant offense either had throughout the two fights. even with all the moaning about corrupt judges rightfully all of them scored it to golovkin

Canelo won the 10th. Being momentarily rocked doesn't undo the better work he done for the other 2 minutes & 40 seconds. Learn the scoring criteria ffs.

nah he didnt, easy ggg round to score and one all the judges and seemingly everyone else had no problem getting right

I had Canelo winning caldo but I’m having serious doubts and will need to rewatch. He stormed through the early rounds, I thought golovkin rallied too late but maybe if I add up the rounds he didn’t.

GGG won the 10th round based on that big punch. But the way how Alvarez avoided around 10 punches combo after that was simply masterpiece

Only casual fans score a round based off of 1 single eye-catching shot.

Right, and Pacquiao defeated Mayweather. You are a joke.

Unfortunately, it wasn't quite on the button.

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.

That was a powerful temple shot, vulnerable spot as well. That is what started the end for Hearns against Hagler.

That was mainly an arm shot which didn't include sufficient body rotation.

it was an arm shot. but ggg is too slow to land full power shots against canelo so had to settle for jabs mostly. 2 great fighters in there. they will probably only become more venerated over time. i'd like to see it again, whilst ggg can still compete.
