His advantage was that Canello looked as if he was already tired. It was the final rounds that changed the whole game where Canello became much more aggressive and he started showing off combinations showcasing his advantage in speed.

Problems came again when he could not maintain the pace while Golovkin could not respond to the flurries. Canellos draw was earned through early action even though he retreated in each round.
