Look whoever thinks there should be a rematch for Floyd vs Canelo at 154 pounds is really stupid. Floyd dominated the fight. I thought Canelo only won 2 rounds. 3 rounds would be nice but since I wanted canelo to win badly since i'm a fan of his, he honestly lost badly. It wasn't a shut out.
I don't, but to say that I'm the only one on these forums who said it was a close fight is inaccurate. Like if you were on here late last night, it was almost entirely people who thought the fight was close. (at night) but during the day a lot of times it gets overrun by *****s.
There's literally 5 posters who think it. Just because you have posted 500 times on this doesn't mean the whole forum is divided.
I'm not even going to read the rest of your "observations" as the bull**** about 10-10's is always the refuge of the desperate and judges are actively discouraged from scoring that way.Floyd landed two shots in the 2nd round alone that bested anything Canelo landed in that round. Canelo landed less than an average of four jabs per round,Floyd landed 42% throughout. As for the 4th round,Canelo was blowing hard and getting picked off at will and started to get ratty because he knew his tea was out. You said anyone who scored a wide win knows nothing about boxing;just before I leave that out there again, how did you score Rigo-Donaire? Floyd probably won the sixth? Get it together.
This statement right here just shows how you are trying to weasel your way out of admitting that Canelo won the round. Getting picked off at will? If you can't admit that Canelo won that round, or that at least it was very even, then you clearly know nothing about boxing and are just a blind Mayweather fanboy.
I doubt I'd even watch it again but think Canelo at best won 3 rounds. Was a snoozefest like all of Floyds fights though. If you like defenseive wizards sure, but next to no drama except build up
I like how you edited that small part of my post but since I don't have access to the fight I'll just give you the report of that round from today's Boxing News,the #1 boxing publication in Europe; "Mayweather was content to stand 'in the pocket' in rnd 4 and he looked razor sharp out of it. The Mexican was warned by Bayless to keep his shots up. And when Alvarez refused to touch gloves it was a sign he was becoming too emotionally involved. The crowd was buoyed when Canelo landed a jab but he looked tired as the FOURTH closed and he was getting picked off." Then again,what would they know?They have no allegiance to either fighter yet scored every round for Mayweather.
So you are basing your view on the round by what you are reading from news publications? If you would have watched the fight you would know that Bayless warned Canelo once and Floyd once each for low blows. Do yourself a favor, watch the round first before you comment on it.
Shadow, why do you keep bringing up round 4? You realize you are in the minority here? No one, not a single one of the judges gave Alvarez round 4 (you seem to really be putting value in the judges scores) and a vast majority of other viewers feel the same. Alvarez was getting taken to school, and you are really having a hard time getting over this. Really, just stop. I imagine you are using the compubox numbers to justify your decision, and even then, it does not tell the complete story. They landed an equal amount of punches, but the round was controlled by floyd, illustrated by the higher number of landed jabs which were integral in establishing his strategy and maintaining ring control. This is what members of the fancy call ring generalship. For comparison, against Trout, another crafty fighter, Alvarez was also more conservative in his punch output during round 4 (somewhere in the low 40's ), but against Lopez, he had thrown 50 punches. Against Mayweather he only threw 38. That right there is a Mayweather round. If you are averaging 40-50+ punches per round in early rounds, the, dropping your rate against Floyd, you are fighting his game. At that point, regardless of what it looks like is happening, Alvarez is NOT the ring general. He is letting Floyd impose his will, like it or not. If you're trolling, you're doing it wrong.
I am using a respected boxing publication because I did not have access to the fight last night.You can be sure as soon as it is repeated I will be watching it again so I can make a mockery of your drivel. I have seen in your other posts that you are on an anti-***** campaign assuming everyone has been brainwashed by the media and TMT. I have been watching boxing since 1983 and am old enough not to be brainwashed by anyone.Floyd is the man people love to hate and even though I think it was the best performance of his late career,people are getting a bit carried away given Canelo's best win is Trout. Does not change the fact that it was an absolute domination that seems to have got you awful upset and talking absolute shite.
Why all the fuss about round four? It's definitely possible to score it for Alvarez, it was one of his more active rounds and people tend to overlook bodywork. But what does that change? Floyd won the fight as he usually does, by doing just enough to win most rounds. Round by round it was pretty competitive, but Floyd still won most of them and was in control all through the fight making the victory very clear.
So the only people who don't think the fight was close are *****s? You can't have an unbiased view if you score the fight far wider than you?
