Breaking news for GGG/Canelo

Lame

 

I hope her dog will be allowed into the arena with her.

I think American law forbids any restrictions on those kinds of dogs, given CJ's condition.

 

Now that the reality of the match is sinking in I'm starting to sense some nervousness .

 

I'm still butthurt about that scorecard.

 

CJ Ross was the only accurate card of that fight. It blew everybody's minds, they just couldn't accept that Canelo was Floyd's equal and still can't lmao . . Floyd nearly shed a tear . . .

 

I had the Canelo Floyd fight 10-2 to Floyd

 

I had it 9-3. 10-2 is fine, but any other score is horse$hit.

 

Floyd wasn't landing enough clean punches to just give him all those rounds, but since neither guy was landing much, naturally Floyd is going to get those close rounds because he's Floyd. There was only one round where Floyd actually landed a few clean punches and backed Canelo up, aside from that round (the 7th IIRC) the other rounds consisted of low output by both fighters and pretty much even rounds where you had to split hairs to choose a winner. Each fighter was just throwing one punch at a time, and each guy was more concerned about trying to counter each other's punches than landing punches. To beat Floyd, you really have to take the fight to him, since close rounds usually go to Floyd. Canelo didn't do that, he attempted to outbox Floyd. It wasn't like Floyd dominated Canelo or anything. It was more like "nothing really happened that round, but I'm gonna give that round to Floyd".

What I do remember was that Canelo seemed to figure Floyd out by the late rounds and he won most of the championship rounds, but by then he was too far behind to win a decision. Bottom line, Canelo could have done a lot better, but Floyd really didn't do anything significant to Canelo aside from that one moment in round 7 to really prove he was better than Canelo. I’m not taking anything away from Floyd, he did what he had to do, but his performance was vastly overrated as he wasn’t able to dominate Canelo round by round like he did to his other opponents. You could certainly argue that he edged out most of those rounds, but the rounds were close enough to where 114-114 made sense in a fight that was fought that tactically and defensively.

 

First sentence true.

He tried to outbox Floyd because he was able to outbox everyone else he'd ever fought. This was a mistake.
He should have Maidana'd Floyd from the get-go.

Second sentence true.
Floyd did not dominate Canelo. That, and advanced glaucoma, might explain CJ's scorecard.


Third sentence false.

Something happened in those rounds. Floyd landed enough clean, crisp shots on Canelo to edge each of the rounds. He didn't hurt him, just outpointed him.


If there had been a rematch say a year later, or anytime since, I'd pick Canelo.

 

Whaaaat? I absolutely HATE!!! Floyd but he absolutely embarrassed Canelo that night.

 

Oscar will want the fight in Texas, with all three El Pollo judges and don't forget Lawrence Cole, the worst referee in boxing history!
