thoughts on HBO replay of GGG vs Alvarez

Golovkin outlanded him in every round, he also dictated the fight.

Canelo wasn't active enough, easy fight to score 9-3/8-4 for Golovkin.

 

He didn't outland him in every round. Just like he didn't win.

We've already showed that the Compubox numbers are highly suspect, with evidence of Canelo holding a 14-9 advantage in Round 5 via HBO's own data, only to have the final totals show Triple G with a 18-14 advantage. That, at the very least, is unreliable data.

I'd also like to point out that all 3 judges gave Canelo at least several more rounds than you gave him. That screams you being biased. Almost everybody agrees that the fight was close and difficult to score. You're on an island here.

 

I wasn't being biased I had no monopoly on who would win.

Canelo was the better fighter in spurts but GGG the more consistent, winning 30 secs of a round does not give you the round.

The fight was there for Canelo on a plate but he fought a Lara fight and Golovkin took all the middle rounds.

Golovkin dictated the fight, was the aggressor, hit Canelo more and got hit less.

Tell me why the Mexicans where booing Canelo if he won.

 

Byrd's card sucked just as bad on second viewing.

 

G didn't dictate the whole fight. He only dictated the fight "in spurts". The first 4-5 rounds Canelo was dictating the fight. Even when Canelo went to the ropes, he was still "dictating the fight" forcing G to the ropes, to chase him. It wasn't until round 5-9 that G started to dictate the fight, Canelo got a little tired did some stalling, etc. You're acting like the whole fight G was dictating, he wasn't. And even when G was dictating the fight, Canelo was still landing the better punches. That results in a fight that's very difficult to score.

As far as the booing while Canelo was being interviewed, for all we know that could have been a handful of Triple G fans. For all we know it could have been neutrals booing the fact that there wasn't a winner declared. You're simply saying that "the Mexicans were booing Canelo". I don't see how you know which fans were actually booing him just from hearing that.

In Round 12 of Canelo vs Floyd, Floyd was getting booed for stalling. He still won the decision, even though he was booed. My guess is that it was a bunch of Triple G fans booing during the Canelo interview.

 

What the whole of the arena was booing, not just a few GGG fans.

Canelo got a gift, a gift like Ward did against Kovalev.

USA has become the new Germany.

 

I just watched it back, if you pay attention the crowd actually seemed to react to Max Kellerman's question to Canelo "Would you fight any differently in a rematch? He seems to want you to stand still".

The crowd then shouts "nooooooooooo", that Canelo shouldn't fight any differently in a rematch, and shouldn't "stand still" like G would have wanted him to.

The crowd obviously wasn't booing Canelo. They were booing the question, about whether or not he should fight differently in a rematch.

 

Your wrong...again.

 

Canelo is the lineal middleweight champion.

 

Came close to be given that title for sure. He is lucky he was gifted with draw and didn't earn his 2nd loss

 

You're joking right??? What's your take on why the crowd was cheering GGG when he was talking?

 

If the boos came from a handful of GGG fans what happened to all the overwhelming number of Alvarez fans who are always cheering their man on post fight? Do you think they just went silent or left the building before hearing the score cards?

 

Suuurrreeee, I an sure GGG has about as equal fans as Canelo. Those GGG fans sure are a bunch! And here I was believing all these posters saying GGG (97k) has no fans. So which one is it, fans or no fans?

 

Mexicans have high expectations for their fighters, and they don't like when a fighter seems cocky. Canelo was booed in the Angulo fight as he was walking in and walking out of the fight.

Mexicans are true boxing fans for the most part.
