I agree. This is the second big boxing fight I really am looking forward to just in the last month.

Big fight tonight

Yeah, it is. Wish I could watch it live.

What a great fight but a draw?

I thought GGG won

Yeah, I heard GGG was robbed of the "W"

I thought GGG won.

Canelo did some things well, but was not able to keep Golovkin off of him.

Central Asian fighters are the toughest on the planet, and Canelo couldn't hit Golovkin with anything to hurt him.

Golovkin's straight-forward, straight-punching style was like a buzz saw against Canelo.

I thought GGG won pretty handily.

In a rematch, I expect the fight to pick off where the first fight left off, with Golovkin winning by knockout.

Ofcourse, that's never a forgone conclusion. Just what I predict.

I think the rematch is already being worked out.

I heard there was a blind fixed judge in this fight who is going to be investigated. We'll see what happens with that.
