same feeling here i wont be watching no more even though i love the sport i get nothing but bs out of it.
ggg clearly won more rounds. Canelo seemed the stronger and more durable fighter. Credit to Canelo but I think he got outboxed for the majority of the fight.
The politics of boxing does what it wants to do, but this here fight is the wrong one to point the finger at my friend. I recommend you watch some Abel Sanchez post fight interviews. He admits the judges did their jobs and admits his fighter lost the the last round and thus the fight. A close fight where the judges got it right for once imo.
I disagree about the scoring of the fight itself (I scored it 7-5 Golovkin, but admittedly 7-5 Canelo is reasonable) however it is true that this is far from the worst example of boxing politics. The point is simply that the A-side gets all of the doubtful calls - this is an example, as you say, not the best one … but, throughout the whole wide world, there are tons of 50-50 calls … and almost all of them go to the A-side, not to mention the 40-60s, 30-70s, 20-80s, and even 10-90s. If this was the only fight, Golovkin would've simply come out on the wrong side of a close fight that the majority still scored in his favour … it happens; but with the first fight as well he's been very hard done by all in all.
I understand the emotional aspect and frustration we all have with this sport. Until I started watching fights again and started posting recently, I had more or less quit the sport during the latter half of the Mayweather and Klitschko eras. Until earlier this year, I hadn't watched a bout since 2015. It's a hard sport to be a fan of and has been for a very long time.
It kind of has though because despite him being loved and elevated above all who came before him by his own die hard fans, his fans alone only constitute a small portion of the whole, while the majority who make up the rest of the whole understand that Floyd lost at least once, was gifted with one or two questionable decisions and therefore do not hold him in as high esteem as Floyd would like to believe we all do, a fact I believe he is at least semi aware of, which is why he carries on coming out of retirement in order to convince himself again of his own perceived greatness, despite having more than enough money to live out the rest of his days in luxury and comfort. I'm no psychiatrist but I believe Floyd has a niggling doubt which is constantly calling his claim of being the best ever into question and try as he might he just can't quench it because although he is an elite boxer and one of the most elite boxers we've ever seen, he still wasn't the best we've ever seen and he knows it and the evidence is manifest in the fact that although most pundits have included him in their top ten P4P of all time, very few have him first.
another problem with this place even some of the mods are with the Mayweather idiots shame really . now buzz off wasn't even speaking to you
