    That fight was one of the most expected/exciting fight in boxing and it was 3 weeks after Mayweather-McGregor. Obviously it did hurt the promotion and the PPV sales (Mayweather knew how to mess with Oscar) and they said that the Mayweather-McGregor fight is a circus and a farce, and the Canelo-GGG is the “real fight”

    Well, that fight showed what boxing is all about.:
    -Fixed scorecard (not just 118-110, the draw was plotted)
    -Controversy with the handwrap from the A-side
    -The A-side fighter was using steroids

    So yes, that boxing match was “real” and it showed what is boxing is all about.

    The fight itself was a hell of a fight, it was a real fight, just not a real outcome.

    This is getting old. If you fight in Vegas against a fighter promoted by a cokehead in fishnets you should not expect a fair fight.

    Canelo won, GGG didn't deserve the draw, he lost.

    That's your opinion, the fact is you're in the vast minority.

    That nitwit has gone from "It was a close fight...no controversy.." to "Canelo whooped 3G's butt!"

    :lol: says all we need to know about Shadow....

    Nah; without moaning and wailing about injustice and corruption--you'll never get reforms, improvements and positive modifications. Though, if it's any consolation, politicians, kings, leaders and statesman throughout history have loved people like yourself with that attitude.

    GGG were gifted a draw Lance, GGG got outboxed. Canelo won rounds 1-4 & rounds 10-12 for starters. 5 & 6 were close too, 7 G got stopped in his tracks, 8 & 9 GGG got rocked. GGG didn't win more than a couple of rounds legitimately.

    Remember when GGG was going to KO Canelo in the first fight? Or when GGG was "real" mad about the draw, that he was going to KO Canelo in the second fight for punishment?

    I'd argue that McG/Floyd AND the GGG/Canelo fight encapsulated boxing quite well. Sadly enough.

    Haha Yes I know; I was being pretentious, silly and overblown. It's a microcosm matter, not a macrocosm one. Indeed you are correct--robberies are still an endemic stain on the sport...and no..it never seems to improve--despite decades of protests. Seen loads of atrocities in my half century. Earliest one I can recall is Hagler-Vito 1; but seen many and worse since then...especially as older and better able to judge without being influenced by commentary and reporting.
