Sometimes boxing fans are their own worst enemies. They watch the fights as one big round, don't keep scorecards, and then like to cry when the decision is announced. This isn't surprising, there are people that think Floyd lost to Maidana and Pacquiao. Probably the same people that think Kovalev-Ward I was a robbery.
Unfortunately, people see one guy coming forward and assume he deserves to win.
Anyway, here is my scorecard. Watched it with no audio so I wouldn't be influenced. *** means that the round was close and could have gone either way. Canelo was throwing the combos, landed the eye catching shots, and better body shots. Golovkin applied the non-stop pressure.
1. Canelo
2. Canelo
3. Canelo
4. Golovkin ***
5. Golovkin ***
6. Canelo ***
7. Golovkin (clearest round in the whole fight in my opinion)
8. Golovkin
9. Canelo ***
10. Golovkin
11. Golovkin
12. Canelo
6-6, 114-114.
Funny enough, the judged who called it a draw gave the 7th round to Canelo
Blacks commit the most crimes. I didn't say anything about shooting up schools so not sure where u were trying to go with that. What I was pointing out is that some of those countries u mention do eat dog meat but that doesn't mean everyone from there does it also.
where i'm going with bringing up school shootings and pedophiles is that white people commit the most heinous crimes. most of the black people in prison are there for petty drug charges, ironic since there are much more white drug users than black.
either way back to the original discussion, i never said that absolutely everyone in those regions eats dog, but it's a fact that it's common and completely acceptable in a lot of those regions. especially in vietnam for example, where 5 million dogs are slaughtered and consumed each year.
This is not true about Manny's father.
so i guess freddie roach just made it up?

With this logic we should assume all black people are thieves, rapist, murderers, gangsters, etc.?
well if you want to go that route, crime is something that exists in all societies and all demographics. however, you don't see black people shooting up schools, or committing acts of pedophilia like white people.
There are 11 regions in the world to eat dog meat, they include China, Indonesia, Korea, Mexico, Philippines, Polynesia, Taiwan, Vietnam, Arctic, Antarctic, and Switzerland.
If you are doing sports whites dominate. They dominate the Olympics in medels and the winter Olympics. They dominate cycling, wrestling, skill sports, Strength sports, lifting, worlds strongest men, swimming, tennis, golf, soccer, etc.
And Marathon running is not African Americans, they do very little in stamina events. Whites do well in middle to lobg distance second to the west Africans etc.
Anyway this thread should be closed imo. Its not really helping things and Kovalev is not racist.
America won the most medals in the 2012 olympics, quite a few of those medals were won by black athletes: thegrio.com/2012/08/12/slideshow-african-american-olympic-medalists/#s:cullenjones16x9
Including medals in some of the sports you mentioned (swimming, wrestling, tennis, long distance running)
I just watched the video Floyd did say some stuff about cooking him with some cats and dogs.
That is just wrong on a lot of levels. No justifications or excuses for that Floyd crossed the line on that one.
Floyd deserved all the backlash he got for that video
to be honest though, manny pacquiao's dad did eat his dog
and dog meat is a common dish in a lot of asian countries
"In the Philippines, dog meat is sold for US $ 1.3 / kg. The business, selling dog meat gives it revenue of $ 3.8 million, and nearly 500,000 dogs being killed each year.
No i said they discriminate against white people, having said that the one team that doesnt discriminate against White platers is the New England patriots, and guess what, they are the best team...Gronkowski is by far the most Athletic NFL player to grace the game...
you mean these new england patriots?

Yeah u won't find a lot of black convicted pedophiles, serial killer, etc. but u will find a lot of pity crimes like murdering an old couple for $5 or murdering a father in front of his son for an iPhone, or robbing a house while high on crack and mudering everyone in there. So I guess it's up to the individual to determine how severe these crimes are.
just like how in many asian countries (especially the philipines) you'll see human trafficking, selling children into prostitution, kidnapping foreigners for ransom, pickpockets, a slew of violent crimes (usually against foreigners) etc
if you tally up the medals by race you will find in Both Winter Olympics and Summer Olympics is domianted by whites. The UK for example had over 50 percent of medas won by posh privately educated White Suburben people.
As i say, its not racim its fact that if you are purely going by sucess, whites doinate sports, and thats including with Affirmative action quotas in US sports such as Basketball and NFL which completely discriminates against white Sportsmen.
wait...you think the NBA and NFL are "dominated" by white people?
just realized i'm wasting my breath
:wave:
:Flush:
That was a story he heard but I thought it was proven false.
well freddie is saying he heard it from manny, so i don't see how manny would get a story about his own life wrong
that makes him a small light-middle, not a small welter.
We saw him against a small welter last weekend, the difference was clearly visible, just as it was against another small welter in Marquez and another small welter in Hatton.
Manny rehydrated to 152 that fight, he probably actually outweighed Floyd
The guy chose to get punched in the face as a career... He was bound to make a few mistakes in life or have some wacky ways of looking at things. I don't think any sane person would choose boxing as a career when you average out the amount of money a boxer makes... You have to be borderline insane. If you walked around in an insane asylum in those days you'd probably hear people saying similar things. Ali was "THE GREATEST" ... in the ring.
i think you got the wrong idea, i'm not trying to crucify him by posting the video, just saying life can be funny sometimes
PAC beat Bradley x3 jmmx3 barrearax2 moralesx2. That alone is a fifth of Floyd's career worth of wins. PAC just consistently fought and beat higher calibre opponents throughout his career.
Withfloyd people always get the impression he could have challenged himself more
that's because people hold floyd to a greater standard. i'm sure if floyd fought GGG at 160 people would still try to find a way to discredit it
I dont get it
Every single Fight Canelo has he gets the benifit of the doubt, He literally has to work 1/2 as hard as every other fighter and do 1/2 as much and he still he gets the round. Like if leaves the round breathing and not KO'd he gets the round
It doesn't matter the name He faces he always gets home court advantage. I'd like to know the real reason because it's crazy.
yep, even the fight with floyd was a split decision
That would be good but it definitely won't happen.
I'm not sure who came up with those combinations but my guess would be Roger and Floyd. It would be cool though to see Jr and Sr on the pads.
short clip from back in the day:
Thing I don't like about Manny's boxing sometimes, is that when he lunges to do his combination there are times when his opponent is too far for him to reach so the last two or so punches of his combination gets wasted and he's just punching air, which makes him look silly sometimes. Pac is fortunate that his opponent becomes off balance from keeping their distance away from when he lunges so they're not able to retaliate. But Floyd has great balance, and I won't be surprised if he can take advantage of Pac missing his combination, being off balance coz he lunges forward, then get countered by Floyd. The trick for Floyd is knowing when Pac's combination ends so he can counter effectively. If FLoyd counter's too early, he might get tagged in the middle of Pac's combinations. If Floyd counter's too late, Pac is quick enough to reset after his combo and pivot away. But if Floyd counter's Pac, then I can actually see Floyd knocking down Pac.

we will never know cause mayweather robbed us of the true fight for a for sure edge that he felt he needed against canelo or else he wasnt gonna face him right? Catchweight or no fight. Sucks I know but its just how that cookie crumbled.
it was actually canelo who said he was willing to fight floyd at a catchweight
Considering May needed Canelo just as much to do those numbers you have no point Gayson. Example, Canelo/Chavez did much better than May/Berto did. You are nothing but a lying bum who makes fake accounts cuz everyone knows what a joke you are.
not a good comparison, berto has no fans. people wanted to see canelo vs chavez for years so naturally it would do numbers. if you compare the numbers when they had the same opponent however, floyd vs cotto did 1.5 million while canelo vs cotto didn't break 1 million
