Just rewatched the first 6 Rounds . . .

I would just say always go with your initial instinctive gut feeling. Keep in mind that I'm not the one protesting all these Canelo scorecards. Ever since the decision was announced, the outrage has been at Byrd's scorecard. With Floyd Canelo, I wasn't all butt hurt over the CJ Ross Card. I thought Floyd won but my stance has always been that it was a very close fight. That doesn't mean I think it was a draw it was just that I didn't think Ross having it a draw was as bad as everybody was making it out to be. I think in general Canelo just doesn’t get enough credit for his performances, whether it’s Trout, Lara, Floyd or now G.

I agree that the Byrd card was a little wide, I thought G won more than 2 rounds OK, but I don’t see how you can make the argument that I have some history of defending Canelo. It’s more that I just have accepted the judges scorecards, unlike the vast majority that continue to cry about all these Canelo scorecards. Whether it’s Trout, Lara, Floyd or now G, in the end I’m not the one protesting these results. I am fine with the official cards. If you disagree with the scorecards, whether it’s CJ Ross’s 114-114, or Byrd’s 118-110 or Canelo’s wide cards vs Lara or Trout, the onus is on you to make the argument as to why you disagree with those, not on me since I don’t have a problem with these results.

 

There ya go ellerbe. That's what I'm talking about. Good on ya for pointing out this obvious reality. There is clearly an absurd amount of hatred for Canelo and lack of credit given to Canelo around this forum, which is what I'm getting at.

 

Look I think we're all a little biased OK. I try to be as unbiased as possible. I gave G rounds 5 and 6 didn't I? I mean is the only way to be unbiased around here to say that Floyd beat Canelo 12-0 or that G beat Canelo? Do you have any idea how ridiculous that is? I may not be totally unbiased, I do like Canelo, but I also try to keep it real believe it or not. And I'm very happy to have a real substantive debate about it, which very few seem willing to have. Like with round 4, I'm challenging posters to really prove me wrong on scoring it for Canelo.

 

You're entitled to your opinion, but I disagree and I'll give you a perfect example. It's much worse for someone to say Floyd won every round vs Canelo than for me to say that Canelo won 3-5 rounds and say that it was a close fight. My stance is reasonably supported by taking a look at the 3 judges who scored the fight. To your point, we've seen people here act like you can't be taken seriously if you thought Canelo wont his fight. That's beyond ridiculous in terms of bias against Canelo, especially considering the fight result was a draw with Canelo winning more rounds in total. I totally understand the outrage over Byrd's card, however that doesn't mean that you can't be taken seriously if you think Canelo won. I respect G fans who thought their fighter won, but I can’t say the feeling is mutual. That’s bias, being unwilling to take opposing viewpoints seriously. This isn't a popularity contest. It's about being real and supporting your views with justification.

 

lol well you stated that I have some Canelo "history" whatever that means like I can't be trusted or something. My motive is to destroy myths like Floyd shutout Canelo, or G beat Canelo, or Trout beat Canelo or Lara beat Canelo. Completely biased BS. If that makes me a Canelo cheerleader so be it, it's better than being some cry baby whining at every Canelo decision.
