2622966, I'm not terribly upset with a draw

but I am terribly upset with those score cards.
I think the rematch favors Canelo as the younger fighter, but GGG won'y be as nervous in the early rounds next time which could also have an effect. I didn't expect Alvarez to be THAT much faster than GGG, but I also didn't think Gennady would control the ring to that degree. If Canelo's timing hadn't been so good, he likely would've tasted the canvas, but usually managed to slip that last big power shot... the times he didn't, he was really feeling him. Once GGG started skipping away with him as he got out of dodge, he was really gonna start finding himself in trouble. He fought the last 2 rounds like he knew he needed them for a win, but I don't think that was enough.
7-5 GGG.
