    Who wins between the puffy and pasty Canelo (GGG 1) vs the leaner looking and fit for distance Canelo (GGG 2)?

    The spurt fighting Canelo from the first fight punched harder, countering almost exclusively? He ate a lot of jabs, but was harder to find otherwise.

    Or the more active but easier to hit Canelo from the second fight? Who seemingly did not hit as hard?

    Canelo 1 was too much of a hippity hop fighter. Canelo 2 fought like a hunter, so I'd pick him to out-work Canelo 1

    Makes no sense because if anything, Canelo's punches affected G more in the rematch than they did in the first fight.

    Golov was eating Canelo's punches like candy in the first fight, and walking through them like nothing.

    On Saturday, he just seemed like a different fighter. Old, and gun shy, like some of the counters were bothering him.

    It is a credit to both that neither was SERIOUSLY hurt in 24 rounds - it's actually pretty surprising. Canelo was buzzed at one point Saturday though... the most buzzed either had been in 24 rounds.
