    Both Golovkin fights 8-4 to Golovkin and tbh I had Foreman over Briggs narrowly.

    LOL complaining about the judging? Hey you don't see me crying about decisions and calling fights robberies now do you? You were the one who said a different set of judges would have given the fight to Jacobs. Now that's funny!!

    Canelo's fights are always skewed towards him. Jacobs at best had a slightly tilted scorecard vs Derevyanchenko. You're comparing mountains to molehills.

    You know damn well Canelo beat Jacobs. You trying to act like Jacobs has an argument that he won is bonkers.

    Claiming Jacobs-Canelo was anything other than a close fight is just daft.

    I also think Canelo beat Jacobs. But it was close enough for a biased group of judges to give it to him. If Jacobs had had Canelo's special judges, Canelo would be back packing lollies at the store.

    That card was ridiculous, I agree. With that said that fight was rightfully scored a draw.

    Canelo won the early and late rounds while GGG won the middle ones. Very easy fight to score.

    Shadow is a nice guy but he genuinely has an altered view of reality.. We were debating the rounds for GGG-Canelo and he legit thought Canelos grazing punches, inside glove slaps and probing punch were all clean hards shots. Then when I call him out on it he flips it on you with "I don't know how you're not seeing this" as if in complete denial.

    He says utterly ridiculous things just to defend canelo. Doubt this fool watches any other boxers.
    He thinks Canelo whooped 3G in a fight 90% of the people had canelo losing....and he thinks Canelo taught Floyd how to fight off the ropes :lol: just lunacy!

    A "nice guy"? Q I come on here to talk boxing, point out the finer details of the sport and break down what happened. To your credit, you actually debated and went through the punches, we didn't agree on much but you made your points and you didn't back down. You also didn't spaz out either like some other GGG fans when I tried to debate them. But at the end of the day you were arguing GGG won rounds 5 and 6 of the rematch. While some people gave GGG round 5, nobody besides you gave him round 6.

    But that didn't stop you from scoring it how you did, and I can respect that, going against the grain which i have done myself on many occasions. However you do have a tendency to spin things to fit your arguments. You didn't concede much but I tried to meet you half way where possible. But when it comes to Canelo Saunders, you've gone overboard. You tried to make crazy arguments like it was a lucky punch or that Saunders was winning soundly, winning 5 rounds to 2 or whatever it was you said. This puts you in well into the small minority of people who see it differently. And I'm still trying to break bread with you because I feel like you are are still evolving as far as how you rate Canelo.

    But do yourself a favor, when it comes to the KO of Saunders, give Canelo some credit where it's due. Stop trying to argue that it was a lucky punch and that you're mystified as to how that happened. You're going to be in a constant state of being shock and bewilderment every time Canelo fights at the rate you're going. Before the fight, Canelo told reporters the specific rounds that Billy would go night night. He said he would end it in round 8, 9 or 10. And look what happened. You say I have an altered view of reality, that's pretty funny. You're the one that claimed that Kovalev took a dive and the fight was a fix lol. So what now Q, did Billy take a dive? Was having his orbital bone smashed part of the agreement? What about Team Saunders demanding a bigger ring? Was that all part of the master plan of Canelo to tell Billy to make demands of him during fight week? At some point, you need to come to reality.
