    No, going from 12-0 to 0-12 is quite different than going from 6-6 to 7-5. 12-0 to 0-12 requires 12 rounds to flip, 6-6 to 7-5 requires 1 round to flip.

    Hope it’s not Martinez just because GGG may be past prime, but he’s not that far gone. It will be a completely one sided annihilation. Suppose it’ll be a good pay day for Martinez though so would be happy for him in that sense.

    What i think he is thinking and most probably feel similarly is there are reasonable ranges. For me, in the first fight the clear winner was GGG. Anything other than a GGG win is Travesty. I think the first fight ranges from 9-3 to 7-5 GGG, with the 7-5 being giving Canelo every possible round you can split hairs to give him. The 3rd fight is simular, the general public thinks Canelo won clearly, the consensus is anything from 9-3 to 7-5 for Canelo. Some blind Canelo fan boys having it even worse. I have Canelo winning 7-5 as did 2 of the 3 judges. One can make a case for a draw by splitting hairs,but that is not a good look, as the general public has Canelo winning clearly.

    Fix as in Canelo knew about it? Or just Golovkin or Kovalev knew about it? What do you mean by fix.

    You make some decent points but in the second fight as much as GGG was coming on in the end part of it Canelo himself was dishing it just as much back to him & then some,

    It's not like Golovkin won all those last 4 rounds in their second bout & he was down by some rounds, that one was a clear Canelo win at least for me & permanently damaged & took what was left of GGG's prime there after.

    I thought this at first, but after rewatching it, you can clearly see GGG landing a lot of heavy shots as the fight went on. There was one point where he landed 3 clean jabs in a row. Who else has been able to do that against Canelo?

    Whats funny was the way the supposed TBE Freaked out & went hysterical at the sight of Antonio. He was terrified. His goons had wandered off & he was all alone. Laugh all you like about me supporting Tony 100%
    I support FIGHTERS!! Not Circus Clowns

    You need to ask the clowns that post the " Margacheato" posts & Margarito had loaded gloves BS why they still do that? Read the transcripts the CSAC had no evidence whatsoever against Margarito or they would have indicted him. If they had PROVEN he had cheated then I would have been all over him worse than anyone
    They had diddly squat, just Naz Richardsons ludicrous " PLASTER BLOCKS " claim & the mystery " White plaster like substance" that the CSAC Insp claimed he saw on the pads. The Lab that tested the pads.never found evidence of either. All they ever had was they "Suspected he MAY have tried to cheat" & as they were the State Commission they refused to renew his license to box & in Ca. In doing so they tarnished his good name & ruined his career because he'd done nothing wrong
