Published 09/20/2022, 6:07 PM EDT

After a slow win, which the Tampa Bay Buccaneers achieved against the New Orleans Saints, Tom Brady and his team rejoiced on a rocky day. The Bucs faced difficulties while trying to dominate the Saints. The offense struggled while the defense emerged as powerful out of the two.

While looking back on the game, the superman of the Super Bowl compared their lukewarm win to that of the most exciting match of the super middleweight champion of the world, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. And his 40-year-old opponent Gennadiy Golovkin.

Gennadiy Golovkin and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez squared off for a third fight on Saturday night in Las Vegas after contentious scorecards overshadowed their previous two meetings. Alvarez rose as a better fighter. There is no doubt about that. Alvarez won the match through a unanimous decision.

The 32-year-old won the fight because of a vigorous defense. An effective medley of left hooks, jabs, and wide overhand rights served to his advantage. Although Canelo earned a wide decision to win, the scorecard showed dubious results for the third meeting between the two. Alvarez won, and the scores were 116-112, 115-113, and 115-113.

Hence, after the trilogy finally settled. Something Tom Brady gave an example of while talking about his painstaking win against the New Orleans Saints. He said, “ There’s a part of us where we all feel like we’re capable of making every play and that’s not the reality of football. It’s really not the reality of sports. Even boxing, there was a great boxing match. It’s, that’s not like Canelo won every single round. You know, in the end, you’ve got to be very satisfied with the victory.”

Uncertainties filled the matchup with anger and confusion. Because the Bucs scored late in the third quarter. The absence of wide receiver Chris Godwin and Julio Jones (because of an injury) and also the absence of Mike Evans in the fourth quarter affected the team adversely.

The rage came through fully in the second quarter when players of both teams broke into a fight. This resulted in the suspension of Evans, which could have helped them improve their offense’s performance.
