More like Sanchez has seen the many dubious past Canelo scorecards and they know what they are up against. Seems to me like they are planning to not let this go 12 so they can't be robbed by Oscar's judges.
Interesting scenario! Let's imagine what could happen if that were so. If indeed that were really so, then they would have a contingency plan in case things began to go contrary to plans. For example, the ref might be bribed into calling a blatantly low blow a fair shot, Golovkin would be doubled over in a fetal position and the ref could pronounce it a TKO. Or Canelo would be allowed to blatantly and repeatedly elbow smash, head-but, hit low to the pelvis hips and upper legs, knee the testicles, lace the face, gauge the eyes, rabbit punch, bite the neck, press forearm against the throat, hitting after the bell and if Golovkin attempted to retaliate in kind, then the bribed ref would step in and disqualify Golovkin [preceded by warnings of course]. The ref could also interfere by keeping the distance advantageous to Canelo by allowing Canelo excessive holding when things aren't going Canelo's way but immediately cunningly calling for a break whenever the holding is needed by Golovkin. BTW For some reason I keep seeing Kovalev sitting in a front row seat witnessing this whole debacle with a sad expression on his face and somberly whispering to his wife: "Ï sink Triple Gee is going to get rob-bed!"
I'm invested in this? Invested in what? Invested in "not throwing a hissy fit at the scorecards of Canelo Mayweather"??? It was a very even fight, Canelo did a lot of things right vs Floyd, if you can't see that then maybe you should be paying more attention rather than just sheepishly echoing the Floyd nutriders who want you believe that it was such a dominant performance. It wasn’t that, I’ve watched the bout several times and many of the rounds were extremely close. I could care less if you or anyone else disagrees with me, I know what I saw and I know a close fight when I see one. You’re mistaking quality work by Canelo for favorable scorecards to discredit him, which is pathetic in my opinion. And frankly, I think it’s incredibly petty and immature to throw a hissy fit every time you don’t agree with a judges score or don’t like a result. Unlike many on here, I generally respect judges scorecards. I’m not like these Triple G fans screaming robbery before a fight even happens or claiming that DLH’s got the judges paid off and crazy stuff like that. I wasn’t crying a river when Kovalev got stopped by Ward acting like he was hit with repeated low blows in the nuts. I don’t cry like that, I wasn’t one of these lost souls who called for C.J. Ross to be exiled from boxing for what was a reasonable card in an extremely close fight. I tried going through it round by round but most of the posters are in complete denial about how well Canelo was doing and the punches he was landing on Floyd. Could Canelo have done better? Absolutely he could have, but he did a lot of things right and he was going against an extremely focused Mayweather, yet still feinted him out of his shoes 30 something times in the bout. Canelo beat Lara, he put a whopping on “Bambi on Ice” Trout, knocked Khan the **** out, outboxed Cotto, and gave Mayweather his toughest fight since Castillo / DLH. If you can’t see that then I don’t know what to tell you.
Yeah because Ward and Canelo are just that damn good. The highest skilled top P4P fighters in the world.
Team Triple Duck getting their excuses together. What's the line on this fight? I might want to lay a few bucks on Alvarez...
