Canelo GGG 3 Press scores?

Ironic that you're talking about me "spinning the facts" when the facts are that Canelo's record vs GGG is 2-0-1, which is undefeated vs GGG in 3 fights.

You trying to claim wins via press scores. I'm using press scores, not to argue who won, but to show how one-sided the consensus thought the 3rd fight was, as opposed to the first 2 which they saw as close.

 

Your arguments suggest you thought it was close. So are you saying you didn't think it was close and you agree that it was one-sided? If so, good, maybe you should have a talk with your pal @m.s. Oh and @C.J. they seem to think to was close. Silly them.

 

Not at all. Press scores are indicators of how close the consensus at ringside sees a fight. Anotherwords, if a fight is close enough to be reasonably debatable as to who won. Fights 1 and 2 clearly were close enough to be debatable as to who won. Fight 3 clearly wasn't.

 

The press did not have GGG winning either of the first 2 fights "overwhelmingly". The average score had GGG winning the first fight by a very narrow margin, one swing round away from a draw. 7-5 as an average score is far from an overwhelming margin of victory. The rematch had the average score a draw. On the other hand, the 3rd fight the consensus had it a one-sided route, 11-1 Canelo.

Press scores don't determine who wins boxing matches, but they do show how close and competitive the public sees a fight as. The closer the consensus press score, the more reasonable it is to have a fight scored either way.

 

According to one judge, a score that was universally mocked when it was announced for being far too close. The consensus saw the 3rd fight as a one-sided rout, with most scoring it 119-109 Canelo, far from a draw.

The consensus saw the first 2 fights as close fights, with most having GGG winning the first fight narrowly 7-5. The rematch most seeing it as 7-5 either way or a draw. The first 2 fights were razor thin narrow, highly competitive fights that could have gone either way, whereas the 3rd fight was a one-sided domination, near shutout by Canelo.

The official results were 2 wins for Canelo, 0 wins for GGG, and 1 draw.

Press scorers are good to see how close or one-sided a match was viewed. The first 2 fights were seen as extremely close, while the 3rd fight was seen as one-sided.

 

By a very narrow margin. Based on several close swing rounds that were highly competitive and subjective as to who won them. GGG was expected to win and fought in an aggressive come forward style, which fans like. GGG threw more punches which casuals typically give close rounds to. While the vast majority scored the first fight for GGG, pretty much everyone agrees that the 1st fight was much closer than the 3rd fight which was largely seen as far more one-sided.

Which had GGG overwhelming seen as the winner, but not by a large margin. The average score was 7-5 GGG, which is an extremely close margin suggesting the fight was close enough to be reasonably scored for either fighter. That wasn't the case in the 3rd fight as the press scores had Canelo winning by a very wide margin. Consensus press scores of 11-1 ≠ Consensus press scores of 7-5. One can only be reasonably scored for one fighter, the other can be reasonably scored either way.

By a much, much wider margin on average than the first fight.

Because some were arguing that the fight was close, that Canelo only won 7-5, while the press score consensus was far wider than that, with most scoring it 11 rounds to 1 or close to that.

 

GGG has 0 wins vs Canelo. First 2 fights were extremely close and could go either way. The 3rd fight was a one-sided Canelo domination. Thanks for playing.

 

Yup, the first 2 fights could have gone either way. The 3rd fight there was a clear no-doubt-about-it winner.
