It’s easy for the judges to score the fight narrowly so they look like they’re being fair when the house fighter is the winner anyway. GGG loses a 117-111/116-112 type fight and gets maybe an extra round or two scored in his favour with the decision still going against him. Canelo does the same thing in the first fight and gets given a 118-110 win. That’s the difference!
The point being that they were trying to give it to Golovkin. Here's Golovkin's former trainer and boxing journalist saying the same thing.
I'm just saying, you're implying pros didn't also favor G in the first fight, which isn't true. Majority of pros scored the first fight for G.
As Teddy Atlas said, Canelo had a big early lead, just the way the Canelo judges like it, so they could afford to be fair later in the fight. Canelo was never going to lose, they would make sure of that. That being said, I've watched the fight enough time's on mute without the bias comentators, and i had it 7-5 canelo. I have no question about it. Also, Canelo might as well been Paulie Malignaggi in there, that's how little affect Canelo's super middleweight punches had on a super middlewieght GGG. Canelo talking sh#$ about a stoppage is just laughable. At super middleweight Golovkin is slower but even more durable probably than at middleweight. You got fools out there saying Jermall Charlo would stop Golovkin now, please, Charlo couldn't even stop Montiel or Brandon Adams.
All three judges gave Canelo 6 of the first 7 rounds. They would have to try pretty hard to ‘rob’ him when he pretty much couldn’t lose a decision from that point onwards.
The fact that any of the judges gave GGG any of the first 7 rounds is proof that they were trying to give the fight to GGG. The first 8 rounds were clear Canelo rounds, it was a complete one-sided domination until Round 9. Everyone watching it live saw it that way. The only rounds that you could realistically give GGG are some of the last 4 rounds. Even those last 4 rounds Canelo was still getting the better of GGG, only GGG managed to make those competitive. The funny thing about Round 1 is that in the first fight, some people argued Round 1 for GGG, a round that Canelo really won, but people argued it was so low output that it was OK to score it for GGG. Round 1 in the rematch was a pretty clear GGG round. However, Round 1 in the 3rd fight was even more clear of a Canelo round than Round 1 in the first fight. However 1 judge gave that round to GGG and some fans scored that round to GGG. If you scored Round 1 for GGG, you clearly came into the match with an agenda to give any remotely close round to GGG. There's literally no way you can watch that round and genuinely believe GGG won it.
You can't even compare the first 2 fights to the 3rd fight. There wasn't a single round in the first 2 fights that were as one-sided as rounds 1-8 in the 3rd fight.
Are you actually stupid enough to think that Canelo is going to lose a decision to GGG in Vegas. When the NSAC had already screwed GGG twice.
