As you can see, Gennady Golovkin landed more punches in the contest, and the cleaner ones too it must be said.
That usually is always enough to win a fight but it wasn’t to be for him on this occasion.
While the bout was close, this writer for one thought Golovkin won the bout by at least by a couple (two) rounds.
His professional boxing career record now moves to 37-0-1-33KO while Canelo’s moves to 49-1-2-34KO following this weekend’s bout.
A rematch between the two seems like an inevitable formality after the controversy involved in the fight afterwards.
There is no denying it would sell even more second time around as a consequence.
