Canelo won round 4. 2-2, IMO

 

[yankspurs]

Jesus christ. Someone please take Roy Jones off this broadcast. Its really bad. GGG’s fading? Hahaha. My dude, you’ve 10 too many times.

 

[yankspurs]

Canelo is dying for the knockout punch. Just swinging them

 

[yankspurs]

Roy Jones has also warped Kellerman’s mind.

Canelo looking a but wobbly at the end of the round. “Oh yeah, this is canelo’s fight. What he wants” - Roy Jones and Max Kellerman. Yeah, guys. Im sure he wants to be wobbly.

3-3, imo

 

[yankspurs]

5-3 GGG, IMO. Hardly the Canelo 8-blowout Jones and Kellerman probably want you to believe

 

[yankspurs]

6-3 GGG, IMO.

 

[yankspurs]

7-3 GGG. Really close fight. A few rounds could have gone either way. But GGG landing more throughout and now throwing more powerful punches. Could easily see both needing a knockout to win, tbh

 

[yankspurs]

Idk. I’d have GGG winning but i could also see Canelo winning or another draw

 

[tototoner]

I scored it GGG by 2 rounds

 

[yankspurs]

Ehhh i guess but no. Disagree

 

[ShaunL84]

Corrupt sport.

 

[tototoner]

Was tight but not right result for me, Golovin better knock him out next time

 

[yankspurs]

GGG won the first fight and this but.....

This is why no one trusts boxing is legit anymore. Either the judging is shit or its rigged. Really close fight but again, canelo winning wasnt the right decision.

There shouldnt be a next time. GGG shouldnt agree to it unless there’s real changes. He got robbed twice.

I think in boxing theres always the chance a promotion can rig things with no set company and 2 promotions with competing interests. No structure to stop this sort of thing. Needs one overarching organization that makes fights and promotes them like UFC.

What a shambles. GGG won that by 2 at the very least. Not to mention the he constantly jabbed his head off, he landed the better punches and hurt Canelo in the 10th I think it was.

The typical American coverage told it all. GGG would clearly win a round and they'd give it to Canelo. How 2 of those judges gave the last round to Canelo is a travesty.

Judges paid off just like the pleb from the last fight. Only difference is they were told to not make it so blatant this time.

 

[yankspurs]

To be fair, De la Hoya inadvertently making a ginormous contribution to Vegas after those judges drop all the money he gave them on the tables tonight is commedable. Although, Vegas doesnt need anymore contributions.

Also, i had that fight 118-112 GGG. Could have been 116-113 or 115-114 GGG as some rounds could have gone either way. Really good fight. Canelo winning though? Nope. Golden Boy is way tooooo powerful. Nobody can compete with that besides Mayweather.

 

[mark87]

Okay well that was a ridiculous decision. Sorry, but that's two fights GGG should have won now. Canelo probably edged rounds 1-6 but GGG definitely won 7-12.
Robbed.

 

[haxman]

De La Hoya is a poison to this sport. He used to be one of my favourite fighters now but I have no doubt he was involved in swaying this his fighter's way.

That's a draw and a loss on his record now that GGG should not have.

He can't knock him out and I think he knows it and Alvarez knows it too.

Need to watch both fights again butGGG won the first draw in the seecond.

GGG hasn;t really gone into these two fights and dominated Canelo with his power and strength I think Canelo not being that intimidated by his power especially in this second fight where he didn't let GGG back him up or put him on the ropes is telling. Canelo trades and counters with him in almost every exchange.

 

[Paolo10]

I had it a draw, maybe Canelo shading it. All this fix shit about the decision is utter bollocks, there was barely a clear round in that fight.

Great fight all the same.
