Let's Settle This: Were Khan and Brook Winning before the GGG and Canelo KOs?

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/boxing/1770927/gennady-golovkin-v-kell-brook-scorecards-show-not-one-judge-had-ggg-winning-when-fight-was-stopped/ Brook was winning on every single score card. I had Khan slightly up but Canelo was not taking any damage whatsoever. Canelo was getting out boxed but ggg was getting his ass kicked in there. This is A LOT of damage considering this was only 5 rounds: https://www.boxing247.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/1-O2ARENA-GOLOVKIN-BROOK-129.jpg

How could anyone say Brook wasn't ahead in the fight? Fanboys or are they incompetent?

Khan was winning but everyone new he was going to get ktfo eventually. Canelo was setting him up the whole fight for the KO.

Sure. Just like Roy Jones was winning the Tarver rematch too.

khan was up on the cards maybe but not "winning" in my book, as the stoppage was imminent. similar story for brook except there was no way that brook could've been up on the cards. said it before, will say it again, you could replay both those fights 100 times and every time the outcomes would've been the same... canelo figuring khan out, GGG blasting through brook

There's no such thing as "winning" until the fight is over.

Khan won the first 2 rounds and that was it. Canelo made adjustments and broke him in half to the body from then on and kept timing him upstairs. Khan took major beating to the body and then got iced. Canelo was winning on 2 score cards, including Ledderman's score card and he hates Canelo. Khan didn't outland Canelo in a single round of the entire fight and was being outboxed and beat up in the final 2 rounds of the fight before he was KO'd a inch of his life. Brook did well early but took more sustained punishment and had his face broken. Brook was winning one 1 score card and it was a draw on the other 2 score cards at the time of stoppage and was landing far more punches especially big shots then Khan landed. This fight by any measure was closer then the Canelo/Khan fight based on compubox, scorecards or looking at GGG's face. Brook landed 85 punches, 60 of them power punches was outlanding GGG in power punches before the final round. Brook landed more power punches then Khan landed total punches and Khan fight went 1 round longer. lol Brook was landing at a 2-1 overal rate then Khan and at a higher connect rate https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ch6ABCFVIAAngoQ.jpg The correct answer is NOPE neither guy were winning but Brook did better then Khan but at the end of the day both fighters were stupid as phuk to take these fights with brutal outcomes for each. yeah look at ggg's face then look at brooks....neither khan or canelo suffered much facial damage therefore brook was beating ggg in a completely different fight...makes no sense. and still with compubox even though you know its not accurate....throw any crap against the wall and see if it sticks i suppose

Think both were figured out, and both were losing at the time of the stoppages.

I think I had Khan and GGG up slightly. It doesn't matter since those fights shouldn't have happened.

I don’t know where people get that Khan was winning stuff, it was extremely close, yes the first two rounds went to him but Canelo won the later rounds just before the KO, you could see Canelo had already close the distance from the 3rd round onwards with his timing of Khan, even the British commentators were saying this by the 5th round. So it wasn’t a shock when he was taken out.

Often when the big underdog does better than expected some fans give them rounds they didn't win. GGG and Canelo were well in front when the end came on my score card. I never doubted for a second that both Khan and Brook would be KOed. It was easy to see their KO defeats coming.

I think I had Khan ahead, but Canelo had clearly figured out and timed him. I don't think Khan would have won another round. I had GGG ahead of Brook. Brook had his moments but GGG was just walking through him to impose his will. It was just a matter of time for Brook

IMO both were losing. I like Khan but i thought his success against Canelo was overrated. The first round was close but he probably won it because of the quick right hand at the start, 2nd round he clearly won. Every other round I thought he lost, he was throwing a lot of ineffective flurries while Canelo was doing good clean work to the body to set up the big right hand that finished it.

I can't remember the Brook fight for some reason, but Khan was definitely ahead on my card which was online with Byrd's believe it or not via 48-47.

nope. neither (IMO)

khan was clearly winning every round. Brook clearly won 1 round maybe 2. hth m8
