    Both were just atrocities. The better men weren’t allowed to win on these nights. Which did you think was worse?

    Yeah, I agree, scorecards in Vegas are quite hilarious. As are yours.

    You're delusional.

    I think anything from 7-5 GGG to 7-5 Canelo is a reasonable score.

    8-4 either way is a biased score
    Any thing else is madness

    If you have it 7-5 for GGG then its not a robbery, you can't claim that someone couldnt have scored 2 rounds the other way.
    Not in a fight with that many competitive rounds.

    Were the scorecards favorable for Canelo? Yes.

    But was it suspicious? No, not unless you look at the sum total of all the favorable scorecards Canelo has gotten.

    Yes I did, because my post was short, sweet, to the point, and most importantly accurate. Something none of your mindnumbingly long dull posts will never be.

    To answer the TS's question, if we're talking about the first GGG-Canelo fight, then the two are about even, since I scored it for Sturm by a point, but could see it by two points.

    Well I had it 8-4 GGG in both fights. As did millions of others. 70-75% had GGG winning both fights. I guess we are all delusional then. Lol

    I had it 7-5 Canelo the first time, 6-6 the second time I watched it.

    Out of those 75% you menioned how many had it 7-5 GGG?
    Ok then you're down to a % that is no longer a majority.

    A 7-5 fight isn't a robbery. Not when the rounds are close.

    Mosley DLH 2 was a robbery because most of the rounds were obvious.

    This time most of the rounds were close and if you think there is no way in hell a judge could see 2-3 rounds differently than a GGG fan in a fight with alot of close rounds.....then yes you're delusional.


    Canelos scorecards are fishy if you look at his career as a whole. Not specifically for this fight.

    because you never post lengthy posts , of course not.

    my posts are so mindnumbingly long and dull are they, I have my share of short and sweet to the point posts as well. it depends on the topic and what i'm responding to of course. some posters and topics require more attention than others.

    Those two fights aren’t even comparable tbh however with the intent of entertaining your anti-ethnic agenda.....

    I had Strum winning that fight by 3 rounds and Canelo comfortably winning the 2nd fight with triple G by 2 rounds.

    Millions of others? Where’s the proof of these stats? Can you provide statistically relevant census data that supports this claim? I’m not talking about celebrity row I’m talking about the indifferent fans, trainers and fighters that have no vested interest outside of loving the sport. Personally speaking I do, I have a subset of at least 2 dozen real people from all walks of life that share a passion for boxing that say Canelo won. All agreed it was extremely close.....I’ll take the opinions of the fighters and trainers over yours.

    What we can agree on is evaluating the fight is relative to your desired preference and heavily predicated on what you count as effective and productive in a fight between two elite athletes.

    GGG Clenelo II wasn't a robbery. Close fight...i had GGG winning but a draw would ha 've been ok.

    Strum DLH was a travesty but based on geopolitical issues it just had to be that way.

    It's an absolute disgrace, Canelo GGG 2 happened a month ago and I still can't stand looking at Oscar.
    GGG won the 2nd fight 8-4 or 9-3, it was a massive robbery, the people who scored it 6-6 or in favor of Canelo must have completely ignored GGGs jab, Canelo's body work did nothing in that fight, GGGs jab did everything,

    GGG landed more punches, far more head punches, controlled what was happening during the fight, hurt Canelo twice, was never hurt but Canelo wins, f%%$% this sport. Honeslty the greatest sport in the world has been ruined by people like Oscar, I won't blame Canelo, ofc he took steroids but he fought like a warrior in the 2nd fight but it just wasn't enough.
