Thoughts on Canelo-GGG II

Well 79% say GGG, over 3/4's majority. A draw was less than 20%, and 6% for Canelo. I could tolerate one judge calling it a draw for Canelo, anything more is well, just not right.

Yes. Just like many historian types who favor Hopkins did not want GGG to win it.

He might have been on something for the first fight. I actually think the suspension hurt GGG, as it gave him another few months to age.

.

Many media types are act like pet's just to get access to the most popular fighter. I see it all the time. And that guy who drives the PPV's is Canelo. So you know who's @ss they are going to kiss.

That is odd, the best seats in my opinion are not 10 feet from the ring, more like 50 feet and up a few feet from the floor level. The bottom line is this, the vast majority see a double robbery. 25 years from now some 10 year old kid who has never seen this fight but likes boxing will look at the results, without the backdrop of the controversy. This is why I think boxing needs something in BOLD Type such as 100+ score cards on controversial fights so the public can pause. Then they can say oh, let me watch this fight and see for myself.

 

Those of you who consider the fight a robbery: Which specific rounds did you feel that Golovkin absolutely, undebatably won?

 

At least Mendoza and Mcvey agree on something. I'm pretty sure the seasons change more frequently than that.

 

I'd be interested to see peoples scorecards for the first 4 rounds. Maybe I'm bias but every time I've watched the first 4 rounds I've come to the conclusion that GGG could very easily. Even after a couple of watches I'm finding it hard to give Canelo reasons to take any of the first 4 and I'm finding it very hard.

 

I had GGG by 2 points also .. Wow you're in Thailand .. I've been there. Word of advice, don't go to Pattaya .. If you do, you will not want to leave . Oh man .. I'm in Colombia now.. Cheers mate

 

I scored it the same way all three judges scored it:

Round 1: Golovkin (close)
Round 2: Canelo
Round 3: Canelo
Round 4: Golovkin

 

I felt GGG won 8 to 4. Not a good decision at all.

 

Bump.

How did you guys actually score the fight? What rounds were undeniably, unquestionably Golovkin rounds?

One person mentioned rounds 1-4. Anyone else?

I'm starting to become convinced that most people who argue about/offer their scores for fights on this forum don't actually score fights round by round. Am I mistaken?

 

Likewise.

 

We agree in that we both think Golovkin won,but I dont think it was a robbery.Golovkin's own trainer Abel Sanchez stated it wasn't and that Golovkin failed to put the issue beyond doubt.

 

I was in Pattaya for some of the time, I'm pretty up to speed with the place. How's Colombia? I'm hoping to visit the Dominican Republic in April.

 

Jesus McVey, living the life.

Don't forget to lie on your sun lounger at the beach under the canopy of a coconut tree with a cigar in the left hand and a Philadelphia Jack O'Brien biography in the right hand.

 

I think this is a fair request, given words are being used, like...

'[Golovkin] could very easily [have won xyz rounds]'
'obvious that the judges got this one wrong again'
'[Canelo] was literally outlanded almost every single round'

And, of course "robbery".


If the judges were wrong and it was literally an obvious case of a bout, in which Golovkin could have easily won (every single round), then it should be quite demonstrable that it was a robbery.
