    Only one judge had Brook ahead on his card. The other two had it even.

    Promoter Eddie Hearn posted a photo of the official cards to Twitter on Monday.

    In any case GGG took the decision out of their hands.

    Benoit Roussel had Brook leading 39-37, having awarded Brook rounds 1, 2 and 4.

    Craig Metcalfe had it level at 38-38, having awarded Brook rounds 2 and 4.

    Guido Cavalleri had it level at 38-38 having awarded Brook rounds 1 and 2.

    (would have posted a picture of the card by the forum doesn't seem to allow it)

    Ok... What are you trying to convince us of? That GGG can dominate a WW?

    Strange that they all gave GGG the third. If anything I think Brook did better in that round than 1 and 4.

    I have read all these claims since the fight about the judges having had Brook ahead. The reality is only one judge had him ahead.

    Not that it mattered. GGG took the result into his own hands.

    First off, it was a close fight while it lasted, and the rounds could have been scored either way. The judges scorecard proves this.

    Secondly, Brook's corner ended the sham of a fight. Why risk perma injury for a fight that is a complete farce?

    If Brook had a little more defense Golovkin would have gotten that British home cooked scorecard. Hmm,hmm they would need a new server for the site if that had of happened.

    It was close on the cards while it lasted. But the reality is GGG had already delivered the decisive blow in the 2nd round when he smashed Brook's eye.

    Credit to Brook's corner for stopping it because GGG was going to bust Brook up real bad if it continued. Better Brook is allowed to heal and can then pursue Canelo.

    I would like to see Canelo vs Brook. Now that is a fair fight. If Canelo can't dispatch Brook then he should keep taking diet pills and dodging 160 until his kidneys give out.

    He fractured Brook's orbital bone, Brook is no MW, and had never faced a MW prior.

    Golovkin said that Canelo should be ashamed for fighting a WW because it is dngerous for the WW... Now he's gone on and likely given Brook a permanent injury.

    He fractured a bone in Brook's face inside 2 rounds.

    We all know GGG wanted to fight Canelo not Brook. But...

    ... But apparently he was full of shet when he said anyone from 154-168.

    Canelo binned his belt and ran. That's why GGG ended up fighting Book. We all know that.
