    Oh Jesus, you guys realize what this means?

    That annoying twit Amir Khan is now going to hop on Twitter bragging "I WON A FEW ROUNDS OFF THE NEW P4P #1 & UNIFIED MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMP! PRETTY GOOD FOR A FORMER LIGHTWEIGHT INNIT :D MY CHIN IS THE BEST IN BOXING!"

    Nothing simple tbh mate

    Scoring this fight to Canelo does not mean you have to score the last fight to Golovkin, just the same way scorosc the last fight to Golovkin does not mean you have to score this fight to Canelo.

    Lampley mention that rnd 12 was scored for Canelo and quickly shutup, like HBO told him so.

    AGain it comes down to shady scoring for me. I can't see how Canelo won rnd 12.

    Immediate rematch. Fuk that ****. No way Canelo won 6 or more rounds

    Oscar & GBP should be tarred and feathered

    You guys are too easily influenced by the awful HBO broadcast too

    They can't see ****. Lampley & Max are exclaiming at half the punches that hit shoulder, glove or outright glance.

    TV / Monitors for judges are a must. Make them watch in slow motion

    Walking down shouldn't win fights, clean, flush punches wins fights.

    8-4 GGG, 7-5 at worst... I can only excuse casuals for scoring it a draw

    Not sure by that statement either. Maybe he meant the perception of the aggressor. In the first fight GGG was the aggressor and in this one he was not. Thus if they are scoring on aggression, GGG should have won the first fight. However I will say its a moot point as he was robbed both times, so its just semantics at this point.

    The first fight I thought was very easy to score due to triple G and his aggressive nature, punches landed, and the fact that Canelo was backpedaling all night.

    I scored tonight‘s fight the same as the first fight, there were a lot of close rounds and the fact that triple G was the one no longer pushing forward made the fight appear like it was a lot closer to the naked eye. I think triple G not pressing the action like he did the first flight cost him big time. Because despite him boxing more and using movement, the fight was still close on the judges cards.

    Part of me wants to say this is a robbery, part of me does not. I still think triple G won both fights, it’s going to be really interesting to see the boxing worlds opinion by tomorrow morning.

    Murata on Japanese TV looks genuinely upset, think he's seen a huge pay day go down the toilet

    I had 116-112 Golovkin. Pinoy had 115-113 Álvarez. I lost track of the rest. I think Drew had 115-113 Golovkin?

    I scored it 8 Rounds to 4 for GGG
    (116-112), but there were several Rounds that were very close.
