You can't be this stupid. The score matters. With a score of 118-110, GGG COULD HAVE dropped canelo multiple times and he still would have lost on her card.

Translation:
You are correct Uptown. I'm the stupid one for overreacting. Her score of 118/110 vs 115/113 did not make any difference in this fight.

Newsflash: Boxing is corrupt.
 
Is there some way to protest the decision for triple G?

Not ideal, but he should get what he deserves

GGG wacked him just as many times, and he had ring control. Canelo was on the defensive a lot.

Really? I saw GGG land the most effective shots of the fight (only because GGG is close-to-impossible to rock), but Canelo I thought had the higher quantity of clean, heavy strikes - and importantly, he was landing heavy strikes in combination. Golovkin did not really seem to get many good combos going. There was one round where he got a few good power combos in with Canelo seemingly hurt. But kept easing off or the round would end or Canelo would find a way to get out of danger long enough to recover. I think most of the effective combos came from Canelo... GGG is hittable - I guess that's what happens when your chin is basically uncrackable, you probably don't bother quite as much with protecting yourself.
 
Canelo landed the better shots for sure but overall on a round by round basis it was nowhere near enough to win the fight or even draw.

Canelo was inactive for far too long - yes GGG did not hurt him and while Canelo made him pay with the better and harder shots they were far too few and too long in between.

GGG pressured and landed more punches while Canelo defended and just tried to get away away - saying that he won7-8 round easily is pretty absurd.

He took middle of the fight off hoping GGG would slow down and that he could pick him apart and he tried the last few rounds, they were his best by far but GGG has got too much of a good chin and his gas tank looked nowhere near empty and it was just too late for Canelo.

The fact that its a draw is nowhere near the worst decision ever but it's still a bad one IMO.
 
I liked how the commentators started talking about "what we all want, a rematch" in like round 5... I wanted to see a knockout, not a rematch. Who the fuck watches a fight to watch another fight?

OT: GGG won easily
 
I had it 7-5 for GGG but I could see someone having it go the other way for Canelo so a draw can def be argued.

It was a close fight and a good one at that.

GGG pressured relentlessly and forced Canelo to move all night, trapping him on the ropes on several occasions. He was very effective and consistent with the jab as well which was predicted.

BUT...Canelo threw far more significant/damaging shots which most ppl thought would be in GGG's favor.

Canelo also showed excellent defense (upper body movement was beautiful) and made GGG miss a shit ton.

So like I said...it was a very close fight.

With that said: Adelaide Byrd should've been fired from judging a long time ago. She has a lengthy track record of suspect judging in both boxing and MMA. The fact that she gave Canelo 10 rds is absolutely blasphemy.
 
Personally I thought the way Canelo opened up at the start of the 12th he had paced himself a bit too much.

I thought GGG won but thought it was close.
 
I would love GGG to turn it down. Canelo ducked him for years, and then this shit happens.

He won in the eyes of everyone, no need for a rematch.

I like what Rogan said about how he doesn't really give a shit about judges decisions anymore. I can sympathize with him on that tonight
 
Why does anyone care what Rogan thinks about boxing? He knows nothing about the sport.

He opened quite a few rounds strong but then would fade through the round. We already knew that Canelo likes to fight in spurts and take breaks etc, GGG's consistency really shined through imo.

The humility displayed by GGG during the interview was bloody inspirational, I'd be absolutely fuming.

Canelo.

People are just angry at Canelo because he didn't go forward, but GGG got clearly outboxed and ate the biggest shots.

Moving forward doesn't win you fights.

Lol it should count for something.... so should the jab!
 
- Was away from boxing for a while.
- Came back to watching it a few weeks ago.
- Gonna stop watching again after this roberry.

I don't think it needs to be that complicated. Just raise the number of judges to 5. I've been arguing this for years. In any sort of poll a bigger sample size leads to more accurate results.

My only issue with that would if there was say two judges score it for boxer a, two a draw and one for boxer c it would be a difficult decision.
