Comments Thread For: Golovkin: I Don't Need To Fight Like Bivol To Get Advantage Over Canelo

[Knuckle sandwich]

I'd like to see ³Gs jab to the body in this fight, and as other posters have said move around more

[Rebelrbg]

As much as I like golovkin does he really think he can get a decision after Two robberies? Not to mention he looked bad last fight and he's 40. It's gonna be sad to see him get stopped

I don't think he's looking for a decision, especially since Canelo has 2 of his favorite "pounds or dollars for rounds " judges back again for the trifecta. I think GGG is planning on dimming Cinnabon's lights and giving him an early nap.

[Rebelrbg]

Define "skills." Young Canelo clearly beat Lara.

That's a negative, Lara outboxed him, and if you were to give Canelo credit for being aggressive, it should have been at least a draw. But of course, we know the history of Ginger and his pocket full of judges.

Now, when somebody not named Mayweather has got a decision fighting Canelo, other guys can hope they will not get robbed if they outbox him.

Honestly, if that old GGG beat Canelo or beat him and gets robbed, that would mean canelo is even worse I used to believe.

And yes Bivol beats both guys in the same evening.

115-113 is the very definition of a close fight!!!
There was a few close rounds in that fight too, so how can u say canelo "clearly" lost, Uncle Rog??

I am not of the ilk that because a fight is close that it could go either way. I believe there is one way to score a fight, not multiple, and if a round is close I notate it. I noted the close rounds which were rounds 5 & 9. I gave the 5th to Lara and the 9th to Canelo.

What I'm going to do right now is watch round 5 & 9 again just to be 100% transparent.

**EDIT**

Ok I'm back, round 5 is a clear round for Lara. Clean punches, outlanded Canelo and Canelo despite being aggressive, was ineffective.

Ok I'm back, so round 9 could have easily went to Lara because he landed more cleaner punches, but I gave it to Canelo based on power and power reigns supreme.



Take a close look here, Martinez and Moretti give Canelo the 5th and Roth gives Lara the 5th. Roth is the best judge I've ever seen and it's no surprise we both picked that round.

[Rebelrbg]

Literally none of that will happen

How do you know that? Its definitely feasible, especially watching how Cinnabon's footwork has become heavy and lumbering, and his punch output has been reduced to that of a super heavyweight, also the worst gas tank at his weight class. One thing we know is that GGG will come in shape and punching in volume with bad intentions.

Oh, I get it now. I saw your posts popping up, but I didn't realize you were one of his Ginger pube-stachers

[archiemoore1]

GGG u don't have to do anything different. U just have to bust his eye open again, just like u did in the last fight. this time bust both eyes and break his jaw.and his neck while ur at it

Well, why not score even 10-10 rounds for genuinely close rounds? There is such a provision, though its hardly ever used for some reason. If I observe a very even round I score it even instead of forcing myself to pick a winner off the most insignificant advantage. Scoring 10-10 for genuinely even rounds goes a very long way to avoiding lopsided, controversial and dumb scorecards.

Because scoring a round even only because it's close doesn't make sense to me. A fighter can win a round closely as well as clearly. Let's not get confused with close rounds and even rounds either, they're very far apart.

Additionally, a round is either even or it's not (you said a very even round), there are no varying degree's of even.

I do score even rounds when appropriate.
