    Clearly the fans were boing the decision. When Nelo began speaking, the fans boo'd and when the two cards that were read in favor of Nelo and the other a draw, the fans boo'd. Those in attendance felt it was a robbery and of course voiced their frustration

    But you act like it was some fire fight, like Corrales-Castillo. Alvarez aside for about the first 2 or 3 rounds and the last 2, barely let his hands go and was doing alot of running in the middle rounds which is why he "lost". There was no consistent attack from Alvarez to suggest what your claiming. He arguably took as much punishment in the Jacobs fight.

    lol, nice try but no cigar. GGG combed Canelo's head. Canelo has never took as much punishment as he took. As a matter of fact he was the only one who sought to clinch when it got too hot. GGG missed a lot of right hands but he landed a lot of hard jabs, hooks and uppercuts. Canelo doesn't deserve a rematch. GGG built up enough support from Canelo's fans. He don't need Canelo. He should fight Saunders and I think that he could get a big payday from that. Then retire because he got disrespected and robbed by the powers that be in boxing. Canelo can then fight for them belts with the likes of Charlo, Jacobs, Lubin, Hurd and the rest of those young lions coming up.

    Why did Canelo look so clean at the face if he took the most punishment of his career?

    The difference is this was a pro Nelo crowd before the fight. His performance rendered along with the decision turned them into pro Golovkin supporters. That's not the same as Floyd getting boo'd because he's built his image on being the villain and is always getting boo'd against his opponents by the crowds. Nelo is like PAC....always the favorite, always getting cheers. This time unfortunately saw a highly questionable outcome and they turned on Nelo because he was not exactly gracious or particularly honest in his response when asked how he felt the fight went. I think he said he won 8 rounds when asked and that got boo'd

    You know as well as I do that some fighters don't bruise easy. Just because he didn't bruise that much don't mean he wasn't punched in the face on a regular basis. At any rate, I thought you were done with me.

    Are you aware or do you know what confirmation bias means?

    Dude, Canelo had a higher compubox % and GGG missed over 300 shots, I don't see how Canelo took a lot of punishment like you're insinuating.

    Most (not all ) of these GGG fanboys don't care about the contest and just want him to win. The fight was razor close and anybody who says otherwise is telling porkies.
    They say Pep won a round without landing a punch , well GGG missed almost 500 punches over the 12 rounds.
