Funny watching the british cast where they were all about how Canelo needed a stoppage and was waaay behind going into the 12th, and then backpedalling and saying it was razor close and could "go have went either way", "golovkin by 1 round" etc. after the decision was delivered.
I thought it was a good fight. Both showed a lot of quality. All poisoned by a ****-teir decision. They should just get rid of judges, go back to news wins etc. **** it they can't do any worse.
Can we stop using “robbery” when everyone knows that a number of rounds were close. We aren’t all the same. You got to make a decision on who you thought took the round and when it’s a close round it isn’t easy. I had GGG by 1 round but I wasn’t bothered that Canelo won cos there were rounds where I felt either could take it. The judges all kept it quite close, no ridiculous 118 nonsense this time
If we aren't all the same, what are the chances that all three judges score cards were the same for the first 6 rounds. And especially round 6 which was a clear GGG round?
Boxing’s always been corrupt, it’s just that the media and point of views are just so accessible now at the click of a button. You can already see the outcry around the world for what seems to be a fight scored to benefit the house fighter. Come on now, we knew before this fight that house fighters get better treatment, especially when that fighter is the biggest star in boxing. A lot of the rounds were close, so how did you think they were going to be scored? This is why I love KO’s.
Look on the bright side: Now you have something to write at least 6 months of emotionally charged posts about.
This content is protected Teddy is livid. We all saw how he predicted the fight beforehand. Hard to disagree with the analysis. Had the same scorecard as him as well, funny enough.
The fight was close- the problem is - for me anyway - is that everyone I was with said if the bout is close Canelo is going to win - and that is exactly what happened. After the first fight which was a robbery it feels like a real screw job now although this fight had lot of close rounds.
It's just bad for the sport if you know a certain fighter is automatically going to win a round just by being competitive in it.
Same result as the first fight for me GGG won it 9 rounds to 3. However 2 of the rounds he won in the first 6 were close, and that was enough for the judges to rob him again. I expected this GGG won the fight again.
Bullcrap! I had Canelo winning that by two rounds. Sure there was close rounds and a I could accept a draw but no way GGG won that fight. GGG was scared of Canelo. GGG was backing up most of the fight. GGG was too scared to engage. Was that a typical GGG fight? NO, it wasn't! That fight was dictated by Canelo. That means he controlled the fight. Just stop fan boys!
