What a fight #CaneloGGG2 I gave the fight to Canelo. It was toe to toe action, Very exciting. Canelo surprised us all with the come forward pressure game plan. Well done to both Canelo and GGG. Boxing needed this @HBOboxing @GoldenBoyBoxing

Canelo never took a step backwards the entire fight, landed the cleaner power shots, and worked the body all 12 rds. Deserving winner

Great fight.

GGG is a warrior#CaneloGGG2 #boxing

I don’t think it was robbery, had Canelo winning and I really wanted GGG to win. Some very close rounds that could have went either way. Canelo’s body work, sharp counters and punch output stole it for me. Great fight with two great champions! Gutted for GGG ----

I agree @mickconlan11 ! This is exactly how I feel! I’m a little hurt GGG lost but it’s boxing. Tonight Canelo was the winner. https://t.co/i3NUTQTd4x

Though I had Golovkin edging it, I won’t call it a robbery. Too many close rounds.#CaneloGolovkin2

Thought @GGGBoxing won, but this was no robbery. I’m gutted for Gennady, who has every reason to think he won TWICE without a victory. He will not be any younger for the third Fight, which you can bank on. Canelo will be a legit favorite in #CaneloGGG3. #Boxing is a tough biz.

I think they fucked up by bothering Canelo about boxing aka running the 1st fight 2nd fight he stepped right to G pushed him back and made him be the boxer..than won the last rd after a late ggg rally...no robbery folks give Canelo his props
