    GGG is not 168 fighter and never was , so it’s like talking ward vs usyk.

    Chose this thread to respond of the fight, I just watched. This fight was a literal first for me. ONly time I admit distraction that wasn't because I didn't turn the volume down, like most fans will say.
    Don't let cheerleading persuade however the distraction for me was the circling by 3G.

    I don't think he ran at all, but he did circle, while Canelo seemed to be the initiator of such movement. That kinda prevented me from seeing 3G as controlling the fight or pace. It's not his game plan.

    I also watched RJJ's comments and I agree with him. Team 3G said Canelo ran first fight & if he stands and trade, then see what happens. Well, Canelo came forward against a guy who normally doesnt allow that. So I couldn't dismiss it and scored it as Ring generalship for Canelo.

    Canelo got outbjabbed, but he didn't get out-hustled, nor moved around, let alone pushed around.
    That impacted my scoring and I say either a draw or Canelo by one point.

    And this is after reading so many say 3G won, Teddy Atlas & more. No bad decision, 3G could have one by a round, give or take, solid fight to watch.
    But 3G was too mobile for me to think he dictated the fight, rather he countered well & jabbed well.

    Look dude
    Close fight they both were
    My issue is that GGG won on 1/6 cards
    Once again, the A side gets the nod in the close rounds
    Same thing with Ward Kov
    It gets old when you can predict the winner based on the A side close round nod

    Close fight, but Canelo outfought GGG when it mattered. Canelo was deserving of the victory last Saturday night.

    Exactly.

    It's not that this decision was scandalous, at least not in my view - but you know that where there is any doubt it always goes in favour of the A-side / hometown guy. Right across the world it's like that, with only a few exceptions.

    This is killing the sport of boxing. We can't sit by while visiting fighters / B-fighters get the short straw repeatededly in the US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, South Africa, Australia, etc.

    Scoring the fight that way means ignoring loads of ggg good work. But you scored against ggg in the Jacobs and canelo 1 fight so this doesn’t surprise me. Maybe you don’t like his style of fighting because in all 3 instances you are in the minority view

    You're exaggerating , but Ward would definitely decision GGG and pretty convincingly too.

    are you still crying about this? ggg clearly won. throw some tampons in, take medicine for your cramps, and get over it. everyone knows GGG won. only canelo's bisaed girlfriends think he won.

    im a big GGG fan. i thought ggg would win but judges would score the fight to canelo. so bet my money on canelo by decision...i made money but surprisingly being a huge ggg supporter i was surprised that canelo didnt need the judges help this time. i could see the judges giving it 7-5 although i personally scored it a draw...i think abel screwed ggg by talking that canelo wont have balls to fight mexican style...so when they both met in the middle it seemed more impressive that canelo could fight the way golovkin wanted him to....

    you have to rewatch the fight man
    I mean Round 1 is an easy round to score for GGG. As is round 5 which he didnt get a single point for
    Very easy to come to a 8-4 GGG victory once you tune out the terrible HBO commentary
