    I might have to re-watch it Drew. I was just baffled. To me most of the rounds until 9 was Canelo walking GGG down landing hard power shots while GGG was landing jabs and some weak straights and the occasional left hooks getting in.

    I haven’t been on here in a while, but I have missed you lol. This is an excellent post. I had GGG by 2 rounds, gutsy performance by both fighters though.

    Last time he was robbed, and he should have narrowly won this fight so there's going to be residual outrage from last time and people are flabbergasted that he got shafted again. Honestly though, no the scorecards were within reason. It's just like Kovalev vs Ward 1, you can score it for Ward. Most had it for Kovalev but if you score all of the close rounds Ward's way you could have it for Ward. Same thing here. If you score every single close round Canelo's way you can get the scores we got. We weren't raped so much as we were molested, maybe groped a bit and someone stuck their finger in our mouth.

    It just keeps becoming more mortifying as I sit here and think it through. And to all of you who actually thought Canelo won, you’re not worth the breath it would take to reply to you

    Canelo was definitely landing his share. And, I will probably have to re-watch it, too. Lots of close rounds for sure.

    Golovkin won that more clearly this time.

    Damn looks like Drenlou might actually be hitting the lawn after all. I feel a bit bad about all those things I said. He's finally put his freaking cellphone away and is pushing that mower like a pro.

    Honestly a lot of rounds Iwas thinking damn these are close. But I feel like Canelo was the ring general just like GGG was the ring general in the 1st fight, that's why I gave Canelo a lot of the close rounds. I want to be consistent in my scoring.

    I never score a damn thing on emotion, I save that for after the fight. The only emotional one here is you, cheering like a silly little ninny at punches that weren't landing clean. I don't need Compubox, I saw it with my own two eyes, and they work perfectly fine.

    Yeah, and you clearly are not being emotional here either.
