    Exactly......the issue I have is, why not try to mask it. There is a way of being bias discreetly..... It seems those goofs haven't figured that part out yet.

    Neither of those fighters they faced present the style that Crawford and Canelo are going to see vs each other in September. So referencing how they looked in their previous fight is a lazy and illogical assessment.

    Truthfully looking at how both Madrimov and Scull were out of character vs Crawford and Canelo is evidence to the actual threat they were on fight night. Both Scull and Madrimov have shown themselves to be aggressors and push the action in their fights. Neither showed that vs Canelo or Crawford.

    Yep, they probably try to make sure Canelo has a good enough lead early as a cushion in case Golovkin starts to win rounds so convincingly later in the fight that they can't possibly give them to Canelo. In the process they get carried away.

    Yea, it's crazy because I had Canelo losing the first GGG fight 8-4. Had him losing the 2nd fight 7-5. Went back and watched those fights multiple times over the years and still haven't changed my judging. I even had him losing to Lara 7 rounds to 5..... but you look at the cards for those fights....

    vs GGG in the first fight, one judge scored it 118-110 for Canelo.....
    vs Lara, one judge scored it 117-111.....

    That's evidence they weren't actually scoring what was going on in the ring. They simply just picked a winner.

    Canelo decision but he'll find a way to be a mediocre ginger midget as always and struggle or even lose.

    Actually, the so called story of the fight was " Canelo needs to win or draw at all costs, losing is not an option" and they succeeded.

    Young and hungry fighters make great fights.

    Older and overpaid fighters put on a snoozer.

    And a snoozer is what we are getting in Sept.

    Yet...........you are going to continue to follow all coverage up til fight night and watch the fight along with the rest of us...... Go tell that silly logic to some naive kid.

    You are in no position to tell a gladiator who's put his life in danger for the sake of a bunch of strangers to be entertained, that they are being overpaid.....Especially the two who have accomplished more than anyone else active in the sport currently. I said what I said......

    I used logic to develop my opinion. I'm not so ignorant to believe that Scull and Madrimov fighting THE MOST DANGEROUS opponents of their career in manner that was out of character for both of them in order to keep from being hurt and/or stopped by Crawford or Canelo in evidence of both fighters being boring. That is a lazy and simple minded way of evaluating those future HOF'ers.

    I’m saying canelo via late round stoppage. If this were the 2019/2020 Canelo I’d be picking Canelo via the mid rounds.

    He has slowed down considerably now so I imagine he’ll show a little caution and patience in the early rounds while he gets a gauge on Bud.

    I saw this video on YouTube where Crawford told Clenelo that every time he stepped up, he’s been beaten by better fighters. I almost died hearing it. He definitely caught Clenelo in that verbal battle.

    Canelo by decision. Weight classes are there for a reason.
    This appears like the logical choice.

    However, they both looked terrible in their last fight. And both will be overpaid for this fight.
    So who wins? Definitely not the fans!
