Boxing world admires GGG vs. Canelo fight, shares displeasure with result on Twitter

Boxing

Saturday night's middleweight title fight between Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez turned out to be as good as advertised -- but there was no winner. 

The fight was ruled a draw. Judge Adalaide Byrd surprisingly giving the match a 118-110 score in favor of Alvarez, while judge Dave Moretti scored it 115-113 for Golovkin and Don Trella gave it a 114-114 tie. 

The boxing world took to Twitter to share appreciation for the quality of the fight but was largely critical of the result. 

 

We can only hope a rematch is in the near future.
