    You should have to beat convincingly and Canelo would have gotten that victory if he would have really won some rounds

    I'm not sure Canelo even won the 9th round convincingly.

    I typed to fast what I was really stating was that to beat a champion you have to do convincingly which we all know he didn’t come close and can you just imagine if he had actually won a few rounds what the score would have been

    You have to beat the champion's arms convincingly and to be fair to Clen he put on an arm punching masterclass

    Canelo misunderstood the term arm punching.

    Im guessing it really means, you gotta dominate the champ to get a close ud.

    If this was true, GGG would have won the first fight and probably the second. Canelo gets a draw when he comes close or even when he loses 11-1. If he would have won the 12th, he would have been gifted another draw.

    Also, even though Bivol was made to enter the ring first, and treated by the announcers as the challenger, he was technically the champion, the belt holder. Canelo thought he could lay on the ropes, punch his arms and do a little posing while he was getting outworked every round and be gifted the decision win. Can’t blame him, the corrupt judges usually make this happen.

    Teddy inarticulately breaks down the corrupt judging of this fight. The cloud of corruption follows Canelo. I’d be very suspicious in the rematch. Even more suspicious than this one and wouod insist on open scoring. Don’t let the judges hide their corruption until the end.

    This is more about A side than the champ.
