After the fight, Alvarez told the crowd that he was open to another fight if the people wanted it.
My corner told me to close the round because it was a very close fight, and that’s what I did,” Alvarez said. “He was connecting some punches but they were few and far between.
“If the people want another fight, then we’ll do it. But for now I’m going to enjoy it.”
While many thought the score was fair there was a strong contingent of fans that believed GGG was robbed for a second time.

I have not seen an ex pro-commentator card saying Canelo took that. 90% of my timeline/TV is saying draw/GGG.#CaneloGGG2
