[The-AxeMurderer]

116-112 GGG


This shit is killing the sport.

 

[AznTrojan]

8-4 GGG.. wtf was 118-110 canelo

 

[Sharkhunter]

The insecure mma fan in me is compelled to say: "UFN: Pittsburgh is one of the most exciting events I've ever seen."

I mean it, too.

Bruh u watched 2 guys with pillows fight over Goat Mike Perry. Smh

oh god the pillows BS, most of padding is not on front, fight science did study boxing gloves hit with the same force as mma, try harder to disrespect boxing because that one has already been debunked

 

[Hagler]

And I hate boxing. That is all. I might have to re-think my boxing fandom.

You may want to check out a few other 2017 elite fights. Great year so far.

 

[cottagecheesefan]

All of these people actually watch boxing and know to score too. Great point!

Pretty much every professional boxer I follow on instagram is saying GGG was robbed. As are all the major boxing news IG accounts.

For anyone who still doesn't believe that boxing is corrupt, please watch this:



This was several years ago, and I believe Russell Mora just refereed on the undercard of Mayweather-McGregor three weeks back.

 

[Seano]

Come on Seano, you know outboxing someone doesn't simply mean landing the more eye catching punches. A few of those rounds Canelo's countering and combinations were outrageous but never consistent, yet most of the time his rhythm was thrown off by Golovkin's jabs which were there all night.
When Canelo was backed up on the ropes and a few times couldn't get his counters landing, he avoided/blocked about 80% of GGG's punches before circling out; but that 20% still landed. That's still boxing and that still counts.

Which rounds did you feel Canelo took?

I don't recall. 1,2,3 I think. 12 for sure. I don't remember the others off the top of my head.

 

[RandomUser12]

I had Golovkin winning by two points but the two scorecards were fine to me. Nobody likes draws but I think it was an accurate enough reflection of what happened.

 

[Claude]

He was missing big time all night.
Canelo put on a masterful performance and folks are too blind to see it.

Yup.

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

35 people here are dumb fucks and Xcunt

 

[The Adder]

I don't know what else he could have done. It took him a few rounds to walk down the smaller man and become effective. He pressed 90% of the fight and devoured all power shots with ease.

you don't win rounds by eating power shots.

he did one on the undercard tonight, also low blows abound

 

[UFCLEGEND88]

we can say canelo landed the cleaner shots, but of course shots look cleaner on a guy fighting offensively, then a guy who literally tries to turn and roll with every punch.....but eventually after a point that is for your own benefit, to mitigate damage, if the shots still land, they still count.

After a point it really shouldn't matter who is landing the "cleaner" or most "damaging" punches in ones own opinion....either knock the guy down, TKO him, at least rock the guy get him on the ropes etc...or else you are going to have to outpoint him.....and we'll just take his word for it that he is OK, if that's how things seem....GGG seemed pretty coherent at the end of the fight, didn't look hurt during the fight despite the snap on canelo's punches. Boxing shouldn't be an acting contest to see who can make punches look less impactful, shake their head the most in defiance, or keep the straightest face.

I was disappointed with GGGs performance, and impressed by Alvarez. It was still a robbery I believe.

 

[Julius_Caesar]

So if this dumb bird had scored the fight 115-113 for Canelo would it have affected the outcome any differently?

Irrelevant. Many have excepted that it was scored a draw. We just dont understand how anyone could of had that 118 - 110. It shows she was paid off. Its simple. Probably by Oscar.

 

[Fluffernutter]

What if other boxers/managers simply refuse to fight anyone from the GBP stable?

It's one thing for fans to stop buying GBP ppvs, but another if boxers stop fighting them.

 

[The Adder]

actually not even trying to hide the corruptness

How was it corrupt? meaning what do you think transpired to get 118-110?

 

[Po]

I thought it was a draw. Canelo 1-3 and 10-12. Either way the bitch who scored 118-110 should be fired

Round 1 or 10 to Alvarez is questionable. Both to him is being quite generous.

A judge taking a payoff from a promoter

 

[Fluffernutter]

Smith calls for Byrd to be "tested".

Does this mean a drug test?

 

[Cazador]

Had it 7-5 for Golovkin.
