I scored it the same. Canelo dominated the first half of the fight he looked unstoppable until round 8 and then he gassed out and look like a bum from then on and GGG took rounds 9-12. I also had GGG winning round 2.Comment

This here perfect evaluationYou're on the right track. Round 1 ******. I hate scoring these since nothing happens, but who you give it to makes a lot of difference. It wasn't clear, it was boring, and it shouldn't matter.
I gave 9-12 to Golovkin as well, however the reason folks are outraged is because those rounds, even though IMO they were Golovkin rounds, some were close. G was the aggressor, the ring general, and landed good shots, but he still took some back. The rounds that Canelo banked, 2-7, were clear. G didn't put up much resistance.
7-5 is being VERY generous to G. 9-3 or 8-4 are perfectly fair. Good fight by Canelo, and G took too long to gain confidence.Comment

Do you think that was a typical GGG performance?I think GGG's style just allows his haters to score fights and rounds against him.
He generally has a high output and lands a lot of punches, but will also take 5 or 6 clear (not necessarily hard, but clear) shots in any given round too.
Those who have issues with scoring, or an agenda, can find a way to ignore the punches GGG lands and just focus on the punches he takes.
Honestly it's very odd for me to see because I'd think honest people would have an easy time scoring rounds for him in most fights. He just lands very often and clean generally speaking.
I thought it was mostly fought on Canelo's terms who seemed to control the pace and was more willing to take risks and let his hands go. Beat GGG to the punch and backed him up in the few exchanges that took place. I gave GGG two rounds (9 and 11) and had the 10th and 12th even. GGG's punch output was noticeably less than any of his fights, including the first two with Canelo. I never bother with compubox but I'd imagine GGG got outlanded in every round except maybe the 9th and 11th.
In terms of dominance for Canelo, it reminded me of the Callum Smith fight. Similar to the Smith fight, GGG didn't really let his hands go until the second half and fought with the same level of caution. It wasn't a close fight.Comment

It was a weird fight. Canelo absolutely dominated the rounds he won so that sticks out the most but then he gassed and gave the championship rounds away. He needlessly made it closer than what it ‘should’ve’ been. I also gave G round 1 so giving an old Golovkin 4-5 rounds is certainly in the realm of fair judging. Partly due to Canelo gassing as usual and Golovkin finally throwing caution at the win and being active.Last edited by _original_; 09-18-2022, 01:06 AM.Comment

Smith was getting beat up at the end lol. Not a good parallel I would say. This fight was more of a chess match fight. Smith-Canelo was a beatdown that Canelo continued from what Ryder did to Smith.

Yes it was fought more tactically tonight, at Canelo's pace. But to me that shouldn't mean that Canelo gets every round like that by default. As I said, anyone saying the first 2 rounds were obvious rounds for Canelo and couldn't go to GGG, I just have no idea what you guys are doing scoring fights to be honest. Like I just really have no idea what you're looking at.
Watch round 1 and tell me how many punches you have GGG landing. Compubox had 3. I had at least 3 for him in the first 30 seconds. Just seems like people don't often times score or register his jab, which is odd to me, because it usually lands clean and hard and is easy to score for me.Comment

I don't see how anyone should really have Canelo up 2-0. To me 1-1 was pretty clearly the right score after 2. You certainly could easily have it 1-1You're on the right track. Round 1 ******.

Exactly and people are acting like ggg didn't win the last 4 rds when canelo gassed and didn't do **** and there were close rds as well in the first halfI think GGG's style just allows his haters to score fights and rounds against him.

spot on props
the commentating was definitely biased and far from accurate. They had a story to sell the viewers and the viewers were very receptive to the narrative because that was the prediction and story that we've been reading on boxing scene and in articles for the last year (golovkin is way too old and shot, so he's gonna be ko'd by canelo), except we saw how hard canelo had to work to maintain his lead over golovkin and he was in deep later in the fight. Canelo also lost the first round clearly. But we need to stick with the narrative of "easy work for canelo". No need to watch the fight, but instead we should just listen to the announcers and what we believe "should have happened". Supposedly canelo didn't even break a sweat..
