NBA Players React To Canelo Alvarez-Gennady Golovkin Fight
Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin’s fight for the WBC and WBA middleweight championship last night, was one of the most spectacular fights in recent history. Eventually, Alvarez was crowned the new champion, even though the decision was more than controversial. Gennady Golovkin should have won (it was close, but still), instead of having to live with a defeat for the first time in his professional career.
Many NBA players watched the fight and reacted accordingly. Some were just happy about the great fight, others were (rightfully) mad about the decision.
One of the best fights I’ve ever seen!! Ultimate competitors in @Canelo @GGGBoxing!! Salute to the both of you. Could watch y’all fight any day. 🙏🏾#KingTalk👑

All time classic fight between Canelo and GGG! It was plenty of action from the 1st to the 12th round. Tonight's fight reminded me of Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran.

If you throw and land more punches in a fight then doesn’t that mean you are supposed to win in boxing? Can somebody help me with this? Smdh

Great fight, but once again GGG won to me. As he won the first one. He got him stumbling and should have got the edge. But who knows 🤷🏾♂️, still was a classic.
