I’m stunned anyone could give Canelo the GGG fight on their scorecard

    I finally sat down and scored each round. I had it 9-3 GGG, with 2 close rounds that could maybe go Canelo’s way, rounds 6 and 12. Even with those rounds, he still wins 7-5 on my card.

    Byrd should be permanently banned.

    If you had anything more than 6-6 for Canelo, YDKSAB.

    This fight was not THAT hard to score. You can’t give Canelo rounds because he landed ONE or TWO flush shots but still gets tagged by GGG more consistently.

    And round 10? Yes, Canelo came out fast but then fizzled. Another GGG round. Every Canelo Stan made that round out to be some kinda of turning point, rally.

    Yes but that’s just it isn’t it,for some unknown reason we all have to try our hardest to find reasons to give him rounds,I’ve never seen anything like it.
    Didn’t Golovkin say that the very fact they gave Canelo a draw tells you he lost that fight cause to be sure if they could of done theyed of given him the win but even they as corrupt as they are just couldn’t give Canelo that as there would of been an uproar.
    As it stands Canelo knows if he can win one more round he’s got this in the bag.

    Canelo and his fans know he didn’t win that fight. They can try and reach for excuses and rounds to give Clenelo “G only swang and hit air doe!” but 80% know who the real victor was and the other 20% are like Clenelo’s mother and just pissing and moaning for the simple fact their hope couldn’t cut it. Even on cattle plumping supplements.

    Crazy though what a few months can do as it’s gone from literally 99% of everyone knowing GGG won to all these now who think Canelo took it,it’s delusion at its best.

    Yeah I mainly see some who out of bitterness right after the fight they tried their best to give rounds to Clenelo and even find dumbass ways to give the fight to him... but finally realized how ridiculous they looked and just succumbed to the ‘official’ result:lol::lol:

    “Yeah a draw was the right call.” :wanker

    They know who won.

    Harold Lederman had it 8 rounds to 4 for Golovkin, I had it at least 8 rounds to 4, but 9 rounds to 3, I could see that. Paulie had it 9 rounds to 3 Golovkin, Nacho Beristain had it for Golovkin as did the vast majority of fans.............however, Bob Bennett, his boxing commission, the judges, referee were all controlled by Oscar, that was obvious! Byrd is Bob Bennett's favorite judge, she should be banned for life!

    I try to not be bias in scoring. I showed I wasn’t. I had Canelo taking the first 3, then I watched him flounder and tire.

    I don’t see how this was a close fight.

    lol is this a complement or diss? First I need to know what rounds he gave to Canelo. He said 9-3 with two close rounds he gave to Golovkin. Sounds like he gave Golovkin rounds 6, 10 and 12. With Round 10, yes Canelo came out fast then fizzled, but was what Golovkin did (specifically what he landed) after Canelo's fast start better than Canelo's fast start? Certainly Golovkin controlled that round for longer than Canelo did, but I think it's pretty clear that Canelo landed more significant hard punches in that fast start than G did throughout the round.

    So it's not so much the time that a fighter controlled a round, but rather the number of significant big punches & combos that each fighter lands. If you go by that, I think it's a pretty clear round for Canelo. It was a hard round to score, because Canelo had a big lead but then after Canelo's fast start, Golovkin tried to get himself back into the round as Canelo recovered, but nothing Golovkin did could really compare to what Canelo landed early on in that round.

    You nailed it. I had GGG clean sweep the last 9, with round 6 and 12 close. Didn’t feel 10 was that close.

    Don’t get me wrong, Canelo DID land some serious leather, but here’s the problem. You can’t land 1-2 hard shots in a round and then get outlanded with decent shots repeatedly and get outworked, outlanded, lay on the ropes, etc and still win the round. Sorry, I don’t see it that way.

    And even if I did, I still have GGG taking 7 rounds.
