Most fighters, fans, press had GGG winning the 2 fights by a solid margin. YET, in 2 fights, only 1 judge out of 6 gave GGG a win. WHY??? I just wanna hear your as usual smart opinion (no irony here) about that.
We both know he's getting screwed a bit.
(I won't mention GGG was the champ because we both it's about money not the belts)
Nelo is the home fighter here, with all that mexican date stuff. GGG the old guy.
I mean, they put a Taylor vs Hopkins on GGG's ass.

If you lands more, then you're controlling, because to me ring G is about controlling the fight.
As to the defense I don't think thats disputable at all. GGG missed a sh^t ton of punches. ~2x as many as Canelo. Okay he landed more, but they were jabs mostly. Jabs being a easier punch to land. Canelo on the other hand landed more of the harder punches to land, power shots. Which suggests a more lax defense by GGG then by Canelo to me. And I mean look at their faces post-fight or though out the fight. That says who had the better defense right there. GGG was swelling up under both eyes in the first or second rd already. GGG looked the more beaten up fighter post fight. The guy with the better defense isn't gonna be the guy who looks more beaten up. And just look at their styles in general. Canelo keeps his head/body moving nicely & GGG just doesn't. That alone probably won the battle of defense for this fight.

Yeah, I had him winning, so what? He can still be overrated. It's not like he accomplished much.
When this guy finally had the fight he wanted he decides to be really cautious. There was times when Canelo was open and GGG almost refused to throw. It was so frustrating to watch.
Great jab to set up nothing. Like what?
Usually the jab is thrown to set up other punches.
Other fighters need to learn from GGG's mistake. I have to point them out, so other fighter's won't do the same.

By the way, Canelo landed the better top hard punches/eyemakers in the fight. I will give him that.
Nelo stopped GGG jabs and straight rights with his forehead all night lol I swear Nelo's chin is made of iron but his D wasn't as good as in the first fight.
The way GGG moped the floor with Vanes who always seemed to be a durable guy shows Nelo has a granit chin.

And as I just mentioned in my last post, where you didn't seem to know the criteria official judges are using to score fights, I don't think a lot of people are using that method of scoring with their own scorecards which is often a problem with these "robbery" claims cuz its the blind leading the blind.
We both know he's getting screwed a bit
But the problem with that for this fight or any specific fight is sometimes the money guy IS gonna win those close fights so you can't really say any specific close fight SHOULDN'T have gone the money guys way. But when you look at the overall numbers the trends are way off on the money guy winning so clearly there is some influence with judges giving more close rds to the guy who's "supposed to win" in the minds of more fans & the promoter usually.

He somehow gained me as a fan again last night.
I truly respect his last night performance.
I don't give a sht about GGG losing, that's the kinda loss/fight that will make you seen more as a legend than a bum, he was part of a legendary competitive fight.
I'm pissed off at Vegas boxing and GBP a bunch of snakes ruining the sport if you ask me.
Narrow scoring because yes, GGG out of those 2 fights and 6 judges card only getting 1 card as him being the winner is a travesty.Last edited by BillyBoxing; 09-16-2018, 12:19 PM.

Was rooting for G but no complaints about Canelo taking it by 1. 115-113 either way or a draw are all perfectly fine scorecards. Like most I was surprised to see how Canelo was able to be the aggressor this time around and keep Gennady on the backfoot for large portions which I can't remember seeing in Golovkin's career aside from Lemieux.
I've been very impressed through the years with Alvarez's evolution from an almost Mexican novelty to becoming a world class boxer-puncher. He's very sound defensively but when you get through that defence he has now shown he has an iron chin. He was able to maintain a good pace through the twelve rounds even if by the ninth it looked as if he was faltering but by that point Golovkin was having to dig deep himself and he was on fumes by the 12th. Whilst some are saying that Golovkin has lost a step and is sliding which I do agree with, I felt that it was more a case of Alvarez upping his game. His strength and conditioning (which has let him down too often) was excellent last night to go with his impressive boxing ability.
I'm in the minority but I'm not too inclined to see a third fight. We've had two excellent fights out of this pairing already but I feel that Alvarez overtook Golovkin last night and more so in the mental department. In another eight months the chasm may have opened further. I'd be interested to see Canelo/GGG-BJS, the winner of Jacobs-Sergey D or the Charlo bros. Just a different pairing.
