GGG vs. Canelo, Who Won?

[aizen00]

Canelo won! His percentage was higher, he eluded a lot of shots, and was the better man.

 

[MariaCallas]

You don't get points for letting the guy hit you even if you can take it.

True, but that's mostly a concern if you're not landing your own.

 

[themainman]

No, just no, I think GGG won but Canelo didn't look that damaged.

Well I was joking cause I knew puo loves canelo. He did damage just nowhere near that, but he did win

118-110 is basically fuck you to everyone we can do whatever we want

 

[Kahran]

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.

It's clear that Canelo landed the biggest shots over the course of the fight, but GGG did not get "clearly" outboxed. The main question here is does scoring 4-5 big shots in a round overshadow 2 minutes of activity and constant landing, even though they may not be as powerful but are still very effective?

 

[Seano]

The draw wasn't fine ......GGG clearly won 8 rounds

Nah.

There needs to be an investigation into the judge that scored it 118-110 Canelo. Seriously, there is no one else who isn't a complete moron who scored the fight that way. I thought it was a close fight and I don't even care who won. But there is a real problem when an official judge completely destroys the integrity of the process of figuring out who wins.

The sad thing is we know exactly which judge this is but nothing will happen to them.

7-5 ggg. Fight turned out how I thought it would. Had this still been under the 15 round rules, ggg would have eventually murked Canelo.

118-110. Lmao when I heard that score I knew immediately it was for Canelo. Damn ripped my shirt in half when I heard it.....fucking money. I was happy to see the look on de la Hoyas face after the fight, he knew his boy lost.

 

[Massapiece]

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.

He got outboxed handedly regardless.
Canelo deserved the nod.

Lol I love the resident sherdog boxing experts and their contrary scorecards

See, I really thought Golovkin got outboxed. He was aggressive but rarely landed really eye catching Golovkin style punches. Canelo was picking them off and when he threw punches, they were punches that caught the eye. Punches from range. combinations.

I can clearly hear Lara saying "I told you so"

This. GGG did not get outboxed, which is remarkable against Canelo. We knew he wasn't the technical boxer but he stayed tight and focused.

On the other hand Canelo's chin and tank were fairly impressive. I didn't picture him have a surge in the late rounds.

2 great performances, IMO. Despite the infamous 118-110, the draw is fair.

 

[cottagecheesefan]

8-4 for GGG (116-112)

 

[4daLuLZ]

Bitch ass reasoning like this is the reason why boxing is dead, corruption in every corner.

Yes.....so dead.

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

Yup...the first intelligent post in your entire career

 

[mcveteran81]

114-114 is just as dumb as 118-110. No fucking way that was a draw or a canelo win.

"Money" .....disgusting. I feel like it was a draw because they knew they couldn't *completely* rob GGG and not walk out of that building without getting shot.

This isn't nothing new for Canelo. He got similar scorecards against Trout, Lara and Mayweather that clearly didn't reflect what happened in those fights as well.
