    LOL at the gronks who think that everything in a Canelo fight is above board.

    The fights you picked don’t really help your case.

    Kovalev: Old and on the decline, but was still winning on my card before the ko.

    Smith: Was never really that good and lets opponents get way too close to him. That’s why guys like Ryder, Canelo, and Beterbiev were able to feed on him.

    Yildrim: Garbage

    Mell: Smaller naturally and realistically had no way to beat Canelo even if he tried.

    GGG 3: I never got why people say G was holding back in this fight. The guy was already old and still put on a solid performance. His jab landing hard and consistently in the second half.

    Outside of some cherry picking and cards that were 100% in his favor no matter what, I don’t see anything fishy about the fights themselves.

    Jealous of a cherry picking , ped's cheating , friend of the Vegas judges???? C'mon man get serious he's way down the list of credible fighters. I have no respect for him but jealous of him ? I respect fighters that go in the ring to fight fair , not using illegal advantages & biased officials

    I didn´t timestamp anything intentionally.
    I highlighted the change in his style, which was evident. He fought against Pulev the same way he did vs Canelo.
    And Calling Canelo a non punchers is hilarious.

    I'm not quite willing to say the Kov and GGG fights were rigged in this fashion, but they were definitely corrupt in many ways, the Kov fight especially.

    But the way Kov and GGG (III) fought was definitely not normal and might get flagged in a normal sport as a match-fixing possibility. It might well have been that too.

    The only other way we could explain the passive fighting would be for Kov, that McDirt had already brainwashed him not to throw the RH much anymore and to point fight and Kov was physically tired, and for GGG that Canelo's power had been so PED'd that he was worried about it more than any fighter he'd ever faced.

    It's all very strange.

    Was the Tervel Pulev fight fixed? Because Kovalev fought Pulev the exact same way he did Canelo.

    Golovkin was 40 in the 3rd fight. Canelo already showed enough power to push Golovkin back in the second fight. And Golovkin actually closed the 3rd fight really strong.
    A part of me does think that neither Kovalev nor Golovkin gave their best. I think they showed up with the expectation of taking a loss.
