What is the worst Canelo scorecard?

He's right. 49-46 for Canelo in that fight is fairly heinous. I think you could give one, possibly two of the five scored rounds to Canelo. But no way he was winning before the knockout. 48-47 or even 49-46 for Khan would be fair.

 

If it was in fact a shutout, then why did the two other judges have it 116-112 and 117-111? All 3 judges had it no where near a shutout. Yet you say it was "in fact" a shutout? You want an example of a shutout that was "in fact" a shutout? Last night's main event was a shutout, Canelo won 12 rounds to 0. I doubt you'd find a single person that gave a single round to Chavez. That's "in fact" a shutout. Canelo vs Floyd was much closer, and far from a shutout. And frankly if you think that Floyd Canelo was a shutout, you really don't know **** about boxing.

 

Yup, I agree. There's so much exaggeration here. I think the general consensus was 48-47 Khan or even 49-46 after 5 rounds. That's pretty much how I saw it. Khan was winning, but Canelo may have edged 1 or 2 of those rounds with quality clean punching.

 

See, I realize the Quixotic futility of it as you do but I have a different gut reaction to it. To me that's a commendable thing, to be true to the integrity of how boxing ought to be scored even knowing you might cop an L for it in the younger/more connected A-side's backyard. I actually think it's heroic to be like "**** you all, I'm boxing as though everything were on the up-and-up, and if I lose officially for it, then I lose..."

 

Name one clear Canelo round.

Interesting enough, Matthew Hatton has also hinted at suspicious scoring today. What do you guys make of the 119 - 108 he received from all three judges?

 

Easily the Mayweather card ... and I was rooting for Canelo.

 

I thought it was fine, which extra round did Chavez Jr win?

 

I'd have to go back and watch it. I didn't see that many clear rounds for anybody in that fight. There was the 7th which was a clear round for Floyd with him landing some clean shots and backing Canelo up. Besides that, i'd challenge anybody to find a clear round for either guy in the other 11 rounds. Besides the 7th, which was a clear Floyd round, the other rounds were like splitting hairs. There were very close rounds because both guys weren't giving an inch, both Canelo and Floyd were both trying to out box each other, slipping punches. Canelo actually landed a good amount of clean punches here and there, but Floyd did well to roll with many of those punches. Most of the punches thrown in the fight were partially blocked or glancing punches. It was very hard to score. If I went back and scored it again, I bet I could find a couple of rounds to give to Canelo, a couple rounds to give to Floyd, and probably half the rounds 10-10 or something. That was the sort of fight it was. Rounds that were very close where a big punch from either guy in the last 30 seconds could have won the round, but that never happened aside from the 7th.

 

Those were the scores form the Hatton fight, Canelo had a point deducted.

I think Hatton was suggesting he got robbed.

 

117-111 was too wide I thought. I thought Floyd may have edged it by a round or 2, but was not surprised by the 114-114 given how close and competitive it was.

 

I think we've discussed this fight before, let's not get into another debate on this one

I think it wasn't a close fight and that C.J. Ross getting suspended for that 114-114 scorecard was the correct decision, but I know you disagree.

 

He didn't but he did go to war against 20 year old Canelo and pushed him a lot more than expected. Canelo was supposed to KO him.

Matt was tough as nails.
