Why only 4% of the boxing press had Nelo winning?

34 for GGG, 2 for Canelo, 15 for Draw 66% of the judges (2/3) had Nelo winning but the press saw a totally different fight, there is clearly something wrong with boxing.

Nel o seems to get so many favourable decisions.How can that be possibke? Ggg hardly has never gone distance so law of averages you'd expect him to get one win against Nell in a couple of fights majority thought Ggg won.

Many haters there Curious thing is that many of these called experts never have been in boxing a ring. I see many exboxers calling Canelo Won fair: Miguel Cotto Julio Cesar Chavez Juan Manuel Marquez Ricardo "Finito" Lopez Bernhard Hopkins Robert García And the most important: Abel Sanchez (GGG TRAINER) Thinks canelo win is fair. So 4 Mexicans and a guy who is part of Canelos team at GBP thought Canelo won? That's pretty shocking. I'm gonna run a poll of Khazak people and see who they thought won then I'll ask Tom Loeffler also. Poll results coming soon

So 4 Mexicans and two former fighters that work with GBP scored it for Canelo? Well I am shocked.

Kind of reminds me of Morales-Pacquaio where the common card was 115–113 making it close but anything over than Morales W12 would have clearly wrong and thus a robbery.

What?! Same clowns who claim GGG won in the first fight, then predicted Cnelo to win in the rematch?! That doesn't make any modicum of sense. What changed exactly? Why predict the opposite when you claim he lost the first fight? GTFOH with that nonsense. I predicted GGG to win, too, by KO. But I am man enough to admit I was wrong. No doubt GGG won both fights. I was just saying that most thought Canelo would win the rematch. But after the fight, only 5% of them think Canelo won. Canelo gets decisions when anyone signs to fight him and I won't pay for another PPV to see him fight again. It's pointless. This solidified it for me.

5 guys at my house and best for canelo was a draw. 3 had 115-113 GGG and one had 116-112 GGG. Fight was close but I thought GGG edged it. 3rd fight coming in May I'm sure It should be in May because of the age gap.

fight was close but you bet your ass i'd rather be canelo this morning, golovkin took a hellish beating. you score fights round by round, and just taking more of a beating doesn't necessarily mean you lost, but i also think he lost going by boxing criterion. golovkin came on strong late, and he's an emotional favorite, and that has left impressionable casual fans claiming it was a robbery. this was no robbery. ask abel sanchez if he thought that was a robbery. ask gennady. you don't leave the ring like that if you are robbed. you could see in his face that he felt he lost. i'm proud of both guys. it was a great fight. if golovkin was truly a great fighter he would have won that even at his age. canelo was there to be had, golovkin just couldn't finish him. he's a very good fighter and he made a great fight out of it, but he didn't do enough to win convincingly. he was not a great fighter in my eyes. he was very good and he was avoided. i basically knew that, but we needed to see how his career played out. poor dude looked old as hell in there at times. not expecting much more than a rubber match for him. he's rich as hell, that fight sold and the rubber match will surely sell. hbo is on the way out, he's probably not goign to fight for 2 million bucks any more.

It's because they wanted canelo to lose. They never hid their bias in favor of GGG before the fight. So you know most of them gave GGG every close round LMFAO but they can't stop canelo because he WON :rofl:

Abel admitted defeat why can’t you? Because Abel is not a fool and looking for a 3rd fight. GOLOVKIN WON!

60% said Canelo would win and after the fight 4% say he won. You do the math on that chief. What?! Same clowns who claim GGG won in the first fight, then predicted Cnelo to win in the rematch?!

Because they're too proud to admit they're wrong in their prediction. I predicted GGG winning by KO, although I was rooting for Cnelo. Cnelo was simply mentally and physically prepared. You have your own eyes, watch it again and see for yourselves. Why depend on anyone's opinion to do the thinking for you? So stupid. 60% said Canelo would win and after the fight 4% say he won. You do the math on that chief.

Maybe i'm looking back at the past through rose tinted glasses but the level of boxing knowledge has declined remarkably. Half these "analysts" just go on twitter and parrot the consensus, even boxers in the mayweather gym can't break a fight down properly. Look, we've seen some robberies on this foruum but this fight isn't one of them; at all!

For the people that scored the first fight for GGG, did you change your scoring criteria to score the rematch for GGG? Something isn't adding up. :rofl: lol first fight: GGG WON. CANELO RAN THE WHOLE FIGHT Second fight: GGG WON. CANELO GOT OUTBOXED WITH MOVEMENT AND THE JAB
