Is this a controversial decision? Well, it is very hard to say. Canelo opened up great, slowed down the pace, and dominated in the last rounds! A bomber from Kazakhstan demonstrated the brutality of his attacks in the middle rounds.
GGG also landed one of clearest shots of the fight in round 10. The Mexican even looked stunned! Canelo Alvarez had excellent combos throughout the match. It has probably left a better impression on judges.
Take a look at the highlight reel below!

Their previous fight was scored as a draw. But Canelo Alvarez stated he would like a rematch with Golovkin soon. What are your thoughts? Who will win if these two meet again? Do you barely wait for Canelo Alvarez Vs Gennady Golovkin 3? Do you think the scoring was controversial? It looks like the suspension and positive test to clenbuterol didn’t stop Alvarez from becoming a champ!
