    Can't argue with any of that to be honest

    Just a general observation, it's hard to score accurately when you are rooting hard for one fighter.

    I had it 116-113 for Golovkin, it was a great fight, the 118-110 scorecard was the worse card of the year maybe.

    Probably 115-113 GGG, but 114-114 I was ok with, the third judge should be sacked

    Well I am #1 in the league, and scored it close for Golovkin. The draw is not a robbery, there is a case for it, but I and almost all the boxing world thought GGG should have won.

    This includes people who gave been critical of GGG, in the first 20-30 posts of my my Twitter feed I see Terence Crawford, Lennox Lewis, Teddy Atlas, Sergio Martinez, Liam Smith, Liam Williams, Ohara Davies, Luke Campbell, Dave Coldwell, Peter Quillin all say GGG won.

    Those who scored it for Canelo should watch it again later on. It's a well known effect that people see what they want to see, and that works both ways. 115-113 is not outrageous but 118-110 sure was!

    Yep I posted Bryd would do this, Moretti usually goes right along with here, but he's the one that actually scored the fight for GGG. And surprisingly Bayless was fair, Bryd was the only piece of **** official in this fight.

    Adelaide Byrd's scorecard has taken away from Canelo's great performance. I had it a draw.
    This fight is a little reminiscent of Estrada-Cuadras in the way of scoring the fight.

    Im a GGG fan. But im okay with the draw. Golovkin was too inactive. Maybe i should rewatch the fight.

    To me round 1 and 5 were 50-50. A lot of Canelos rounds on my scorecard, were barely his. GGG won his rounds better.

    Just managed to watch the fight. Scored it 7-5 GGG. Although I could definitely see 8-4 GGG in there if I watched it again. I could see a draw only if the close rounds were all given to Canelo. His output wasn't enough and was clearly taking breaks other than the occasional flashy shots in some rounds. We all knew 4 rounds or so would be enough for Canelo to get a gift in this fight, and the 118-110 card although ridiculous isn't really a surprise in these circumstances. Overall, a very good fight.

    A draw is no robbery, imho. Too many rounds were extremelly close and impossible to score, bth.

    LOL at that fight being a draw. I'm sure those dumbass announcers must've done a number on the psyche of the listening/viewing public.

    GGG got beaten from pillar to post. He could barely get his punches off in time before Alvarez would already hit him with the 2nd or 3rd shot from a counter combo.

    This 'corruption' talk is hilarious. They need to see what the other two judges were watching. The seemed to just take the night off and decide they'd hand in an 'acceptable' scorecard. This outcome of their cards seems determined before the fight because in no way does it reflect the action that took place during the bout.

    Canelo is the Mexican Sven Ottke.
