    With Max Kellerman asking relevant questions like ''How come you didn't knock him out ?'' and ''What happened?'' I understand he didn't want to be there.

    It was the worst day of his life.

    He can skip an interview. It’s fine.

    I like Max Kellerman but obviously he has an incentive to prop Canelo up. I can understand why GGG was irritated.

    Golovkins career got destroyed because of corruption, he has every right to be upset.

    Imagine that you work for a toy company, you designed an amazing product but somebody else takes credit for it and leaves you out in the dust. Well this is what happened here, same concept.

    Given how hostile Kellerman was towards him after the first fight, and how he appeared sexually aroused by Canelo getting the win in the rematch, I’m not surprised ggg walked out.

    I think HBO crew knew who was getting the decision before the fight started, it was blatant there was favoritism in their voices and were trying to sell fans on Canelo. It was probably the worst I've hard the HBO crew. I didn't see Leddermans final score but he didn't get the memo or wouldn't be strayed. Listening to the HBO crew u would have thought canelo was up 7-2 and meanwhile Ledderman had GGG up I think it was 6-3 at the time for GGG. The pac and Floyd fight was bad also, and Kov ward 2 fight. Kov KO'd with a body blow! And replays keep showing a blatant foul low blow lol

    Terrible night for boxing. Sad too, after a really entertaining fight. I get his frustration, the double rob job.

    That puts me one step further away from the boxing fan I once was. Everyone who has blamed the downfall of boxing on Floyd, needs to include Oscar in that claim too.

    Of course he heard all of that garbage.

    This is why he stormed into Canelos changing room, kicked the door down and made every single one of his family members pay.

    I thought it was a bad decision, honestly, although I guess it doesn't matter much in the grand scheme. As a point of comparison, Andrew Golota was about to storm out of the ring after the announced draw with Chris Byrd, but trainer Sam Colonna wisely convinced him otherwise.

    I, for one, was interested in hearing what GGG had to say, and bolting that way made him come across as a bit of a sore loser. I understand that he believes he won, but I still think running away because things didn't go his way is unbecoming of that caliber of champion.

    Out of 6 cards he won 1 and got 2 draws. Absolutely ridiculous.

    I don't think that's necessarily true, but I do think it was poor form to flee from the interview when lots of fans were eager to hear him speak. I think he did himself a bit of a disservice there.

    Can you blame him after seeing the judges clearly favoring Canelo? The fight was close enough to accept the decision this time, but it should make it pretty clear in his eyes he should've won the first one for sure
