Most controversial results: Canelo vs GGG 1, Ward vs Kovalev 1, or Haney vs Lomachenko

It's amazing to me that so many of Canelo's scorecards are ridiculed, with accusations of corrupt scoring, then the 3rd GGG fight happens, and the overwhelming reaction to that (as it was happening, in the immediate aftermath) was it wasn't even remotely close. But as time goes by people start finding ways to rationalize the judges close scores.

If you're trying to justify that you could have GGG winning the 3rd fight against Canelo, then 115-113 Bivol shouldn't even be remotely controversial. 116-112 Mayweather over Canelo should be perfectly acceptable. The draw with GGG should be very reasonable.

The first Canelo GGG fight was far, far closer than the 3rd fight. If you think it's OK to score the 3rd fight for GGG then I don't want to hear you complaining about the draw in the first fight or any of Canelo's decisions. What you're arguing here about scoring in the 3rd fight is much bigger of a stretch than any of Canelo's other decisions.

 

All of them were horrific robberies that gave the sport a black eye. I had Kovalev winning 9-3 plus the KD and Golovkin and Loma winning their fights by clear margin 8-4.

 

You answered your own question. Thanks.

 

Loma should move up to 140 and rematch Teo.

 

Man 140?!! Lol He’s small for 135!!! I think Loma should get rid of haney before anything. If anybody will make the better adjustments for a rematch it’s Loma

 

Loma hasn’t weighed in below 134 and change for five years. He’s a full-blown lightweight now. Moving up five pounds is no big deal.

Henry Armstrong was defending the (one) world welterweight title weighing in the 130s, even coming in below lightweight (and was still featherweight champion for part of that time). Ray Robinson gave up 25 pounds contending for the light heavyweight title and 15 fighting (and beating) Jake LaMotta while being a welter vs. a guy who sweated himself downs to middle (or often didn’t fighting at what we’d call super middle today more frequently than making 160).

Loma should be able to carry 140 just fine.

 

Winning a fight is "gaining" something not losing something. When you're robbed you're losing something. GGG didn't "lose" anything, therefore he wasn't robbed. He still had his titles, he still was undefeated, etc.

 

Canelo is a roid cash cow.
Taylor over Catteral needs to go down in history with some of the great robberies.
