GGG vs. Canelo, Who Won?

[Tam-Tam]

I had it 116-112 for Golovkin but it was still a close fight.

118-110 the other way? That's kinda the score that should have you an GBP investigated.

118-110 .. absolute corruption.

 

[berimBOWLoh]

Your point literally makes no sense. How is it Ggg fault? He boxed to the best of his abilities what more can he do? Try harder? Try harder to make a relevant thread

Guys ur trying so hard this sport sucks dick

The fight was fantastic.

Watching boxing fans make excuses for the judging is like listening to a friend explain how even though it *seems* like his wife just fucked three guys in the alley, actually she's totally cool and still a good person.

Canelo gave Golovkin a boxing lesson.Landed the more meaningful punches and displayed elite defence. I seen GGG get buckled over and over again yet GGG is suppose to bring that power, where was it?

Yep, canelo looked like a seasoned pro.
Much cleaner work, easily the better boxer throughout the night.
Judges saved Gs 0.

 

[Massapiece]

u didnt watch the fight

You didnt, canelo was making GGG miss and landing the better work

 

[Hagler]

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.

Add the 119-109 against Cotto.

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 have to disagree. While Canelo had his moments, they didn't nullify the work that GGG was doing. I think GGG's jab is what won that fight. Not eye catching, but effective at controlling the fight

still dunno WTF shes doing judging fights

she should be judging hot dog eating contests

What's this judges name?

 

[Claude]

Neither does Leaning on the ropes eating potshots. Anyway, it's the scoring it for canelo, it's the retarded 118-110.

He landed more and better shots. That does win you fights.

People are just angry because he didn't move forward.

 

[Streeter]

Wow......... THE FANS IN ATTENDANCE WERE MOSTLY MEXICAN. They were boooooooing Canelo after the decision an cheering GGG DURING INTERVIEWS. That tells you.

CaYELLOW ran tbe entire fight except the first minute of the last 2 rounds.

116 to 112. I would have accepted 115 to 113 but wow ....... wow what a,way to ruin a great fight.

I had it 116-112 GGG

 

[Steven1562]

Yeah that score is awful.

 

[Kinger85]

I know this isn't exactly breaking news, but Adalaide Byrd shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a judges booth.

 

[Hagler]

He landed more and better shots. That does win you fights.

I guess he landed more power shots but I doubt he landed more punches overall.

 

[Kinger85]

awesome fucking fight. Bring on the rematch, preferably sooner rather than later.

 

[Massapiece]

Canelo boxed his ears off.

 

[Claude]

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?

GGG was missing most of his shots.

 

[Homervanderjaz]

Think about it- how many people would have bet on a draw... I lost money as did the majority of those that bet on this fight. In fact the only ones that won are the bookies who will not have to pay out but to a few punters...

I don't believe he controlled the fight. What, because he was the aggressor, he was controlling the pace? I don't think he was. He was chasing Canelo and struggling to land clean. He never had Canelo hurt, he struggled to get his punches off, he couldn't hurt him when Canelo clearly gassed mid way through.
