A lot of folks here making fun of the accusations of fix in the Kovalev fight.
Now, even if one rejects that theory, can we all at least agree that almost every Canelo fight always gets surrounded by controversy ?
Why is that ?
If Canelo's fights aren't scripted or fixed in some way, then how come there's always elements of controversy in all of them, starting from the Floyd bout back 6 years ago ?
He literally affects every fight with his prefight contract manipulations. Floyd and Pac each have one or two of these kind of fights but with the exception of Golovkin, Canelo has been allowed to change the terms of every single fight to favor himself. Then he denies it right up until there is proof, which makes you wonder if we aren’t just seeing the tip of the iceberg.
How as a sports fan or even as someone who like to place a wager can you be okay with this?
There is no controversy is the haters That don't like Canelo period creating this false narrative that the fight was fixed Canelo took kovalev right hand away is called taking a guy best weapon and used it against them that's sweet science that was a clean KO
Nobody ever breaks down the Floyd fight because it messes with their agenda. Most Canelo haters, even the ones that hate Floyd, say Floyd beat him in every round. That’s either they didn’t watch the fight or know how to score fights. Canelo at the very least scored 4 rounds, and the rounds for Canelo given show the points being justified. If Moretti was biased he wouldn’t have given the fight to GGG1. Byrd had Khan beating Canelo...
Writers in our sport are designed to cause controversy because it’s minimalized to just two guys.
This effect has also shown with propaganda against Lebron James... it’s all by design. Look at Floyd’s last 6 fights with Showtime to 49-0. The matchmaking (including 152) was designed so well that Floyd wouldn’t lose. The last attempt to disrupt Floyd to get 49-0 was IV gate to Berto. But because Berto is not even a threat, nobody even talked about this fight.
dumbest post on boxingscene. You could give 2 pity rounds max to canelo.
since you are new and cant score a fight, pity rounds are rounds judges hand out because they are looking to give a round to the guy getting his ass kicked, so if he loses a round but gets his ass kicked a little less than usual, sometimes the judges give him that round out of pity.
What controversy? He beat GGG clean in the 2nd fight, beat jacobs clean earlier this year, and beat kovalev clean with a well placed and accurate punch after breaking him down. Get some new material guys. Canelo may have some questionable fights with some guys like lara and the first GGG fight, but he has been consistently beating top guys right now.
I mean not exactly floyd had Castillo problems and some people were riding hard for Oscar and Maidana but I see what you mean cause canelo actually lost both ggg fights.
He actually won the 2nd fight. And he ruined Golovkin's confidekce, and punch resistance. GGG might get knock out if he face another elite boxer. Love to see him face Canelo again the fight might end up like the 3rd morales and Pacquiao fight
He’s great I feel like Floyd had the same clout, people hate what they don’t understand.
People hate what they cannot understand. Canelo is a beast. And I doubt Kovalev is going to take a dive cause those punches hurt him.
nah. floyd won his big fights without any controversies. people hated him for it but there was never any doubt who the better man was. not the case with canelo. there's ALWAYS some bs surrounding his fights.

I wonder what crooked Arum thinks watching Golden Boy destroy the sport: " I only ever fixed scores, not the fights themselves. When this idiot is done, there won't be anything left to fix".

Go sit your old ass down somewhere, grandpa. You’re clearly senile.
Then so is Badou Jack saying it looked a fix

And so are the ensuing 700 YT comments agreeing overwhelmingly it was a fix.
But hey, your opinion is golden though.
It's because he is a diva who either cherry picks nobodies (Liam Smith, Rocky Fielding, etc.), relinquished his belts to avoid worth challengers (GGG), loses fights and gets the decisions (Lara, Trout), dodges fighters in their prime and then waits until they are older and still loses (but gets point victory, because his only way to lose now is a KO ), and he fixes fights (Kovalev).
Oh did I forget to tell that he tested positive to PEDs twice?
I'm not saying he is a **** fighter, he is a very good fighter (just not great at all sorry).

Youre over thinking the past to create a conspiracy theory for the present, even as children we had the boogie man and I think a lot of grown up still see a boogie man where there isnt one.
Sometimes things are as presented and are distorted by what you think you know.
