Those were all the headlines I read last night. I just saw the fight this morning for the first time. It was a tactical back and forth fight where mayweather was clearly barely edging most of the rounds. Canelos jab was catching Floyd alot clean but his power shots were going mostly to the body and unfortunately judges dont score body shots. I think canelo followed Oscars "blueprint" to a tea by jabbing floyds chest but seriously fighters need to stop listening to him. Floyd is a great amateur style fighter. A side from Castillo, the only type fighter that can beat Floyd is another amateur style fighter like a bigger version of regondeaux.
Canelo landed some good shots in spurts, especially in the last round, but so does everyone else against Floyd. It's not about looking good a few times against Floyd, it's about landing consistently on him, and Canelo couldn't do it.
floyd won by at least 10 - 2. he was completely toying with him in the half. 2nd mega fight botched by cj ross in recent memory. on another note, i can't stand lil wayne..
Time after time, some guys never seem to understand how a fight is scored.
Just because a is competitive in the rounds does not mean that the scorecard has to reflect that in any way. Canelo won one round. I liked what he did, he touched Mayweather quite and a bit and had a good game plan, but he got dominated.
Thats what I'm saying if u look at the scorecard u would think it was a domination. But watch the fight and c that Floyd only clearly won like 2 rounds. The rest he barely won them. The announcers specially Bernstein was on floyds nuts all night even when canelo blocked punches he would say Ooohh my god! What a shot by Floyd!! He's unstoppable!!

People like you are always going to see what you want to see. You watched the fight with a bias. Canelo said it himself in the post figh interview, "I couldn't do a gotdamn thing with him, he's too smart".
I can say I didn't score a single round for Cantnelo. That was a masterful performance by Floyd. While Cantelo has quick hands, his undoing is the cement he wears in his shoes. Combine that with the terrible footwork, and its no wonder he needs people to come to him. Dude was tripping over himself constantly. My favorite moment was near the end, when Cantnelo swung and missed, and Floyd looked over to where Cantnelos punch would have landed.
He was not just "edging the rounds" they were pretty clear cut for the most part. Canelo did land some left hooks to the body but Canelo was hitting mostly arms. His plan was to go to the body so obviously he was gonna get some shots in. Still was ineffective for the most part.
Floyd made canelo look like a sparring partner,,,
I dont think canelo was drained,, his stamina looked good,, he just couldnt find may, and floyd countered the hell out of him,,,,
It took about 3 rounds, but after that, floyd walked him down, pinned canelo on the ropes a few occasions, beat canelo to the punch, dodged canelo's agrressive punches,,
Great performance by the greatest active fighter
I gave Canelo 3 rounds at most and that was only because Floyd went into cruise control
Canelo didn't apply enough pressure, he was trying to be overly technical and you cant beat Floyd at his own style
Cotto had more success because he took more risks as did Hatton.
Quite dominant. Even my wife, who doesn't watch boxing, could see it. I was hoping Canelo would make a much better showing, though in fairness he didn't get steamrolled.
Floyd won 12 rounds to 0......Im thinking showtime commentary was on Canelo's nuts, because even the mexican broadcatsers had it a cleansweep for Floyd...It was a complete humiliation.
It was a dominant victory, Mayweather arguably beat him 12 rounds to 0 and the number of meaningful punches landed by Canelo can be counter on one hand.
No he didn't, and scores like this just show the bias. I don't even think most of you realize your bias. There is no way Floyd won rd 12.
I completely agree with you ts, ans so did the other 3 watching with me.
