Tells you all you need to know about biased media outlets and how they favour the more popular boxer. Golovkin , like Manny won the popularity contest. Manny wanted no part of that rematch cos he knew Horm whooped him.
I scored it for Horn and then for Golovkin, the less popular guy in both cases. And make no mistake, outside of a few fanboys, GGG is the less popular of the two in the US.
The scores were split pretty much 50/50 right down the middle with the online judges with Pac-Horn, the Canelo-GGG match was far from 50/50 with these so-called "biased media outlets", it was kind of 95-5. Epic Fail.
90% of the media scored it for Pacquaio. All the reporters who scored the fight to Pacquaio are the same that scored the rematch to Golovkin. Their words not mine. Horn won that fight fair and square , they only cried robbery because they were all Pacquaio fans and picked him to win beforehand. https://media.giphy.com/media/iSKFtpF2HzneE/giphy.gif
55-7 is hardly down the middle. i scored for pac edging it and canelo losing 1st and winning 2nd. popularity, or lack of, never influences my scoring. if they have a 3rd, canelo stops ggg.
I thought pac won that fight tbh and im not a fan of pac AND IM AUSSIE. Pac was just doing much better work whereas horn was just a sloppy slappy come forward machine
So, you're basically confirming what I said, all the people who scored it for Horn, scored the rematch for GGG. Well see, they were right on both counts. https://media.giphy.com/media/iSKFtpF2HzneE/giphy.gif
Oops , that was a typo. Jeff Powel thinks Pacquaio was robbed and he's one of many who had both fights scored wide to Golovkin. Jeff Powel also berated Canelo for forcing Golovkin to remain inactive in a Daily Mail write-up. Media is biased as hell , especially boxing media. The press scores is the go-to argument for most GGG fans , but this thread proves press scores are mostly biased and inaccurate. https://gifer.com/i/6tj.gif
