    I wouldn't go as far as the bold, but I had/have scores of 114–114 and 114–114, and I maintain that a draw is the fairest score of both bouts. With that said, if someone put a gun to my head and asked me to pick a man slightly more deserving of victory, I'd say Golovkin both times. I found the fights quite easy to score and couldn't see a case for Canelo to have won either, he ultimately did all he could do to make the fights even, but I could see just enough swing in both to stretch to two-point margins for the Kazakh. Points aside, he also had the thinnest of moral edges in that I think the fights were ultimately just a little more gruelling for Canelo.

    Yes, the 'robbery' commotion was pure hysteria.

    I don't think crying robbery was hysteria in the first fight. Golovkin was clearly the busier of the to and was often dominating rounds with that jab while Canelo was landing the odd power punch.

    Golovkin clearly won the first fight at least 7-5 if not 8-4.

    2-0 GGG

    The absolute best case for Clenelo, who I'm sure I need not remind you shamelessly ducked a closer to prime version of GGG, hiding out like a giant ginger chicken in a puddle of his own urine in the darkest corner of the custom-made Kazakhstani-proof electrified chicken coop he had built and his own weight class until he saw the signs of ageing and decline he'd been praying to the gods of cowardice to materialize, is that he's 1-1 against a way past prime senior citizen GGG, scraping by on a single point whilst he was jacked silly on PEDs.

    Just a single point on two of the judge's cards whilst he was jacked silly on PEDs against a way past prime senior citizen who he would've also had a significant weight advantage over :lol:

    114-114 113-115 113-115

    Certain people not wanting Bivol to fight because of his Russian ties.

    Obviously fight 1 was a GGG victory.

    But even though I scored the second for Golovkin I can see how how it went the way of Canelo.
