Will the scoring of GGG/Canelo be shady? Will GGG need a KO to win?

[darius45]

If it's a close fight, I don't see the judges giving the edge to GGG. In this case, they most definitely give it Canelo. If GGG wins a clear decision on points, the judges will have it tight and STILL possibly give Canelo the bogus decision.

The only surefire way GGG can win is he gets a KO/TKO and takes the decision out the judges hands.

It's possible, there are terrible decisions all the time. I'm not sure it makes a difference who the fighters are.

Why are people scrambling to come up with preemptive excuses for Golovkin?? When was he ever robbed? The dude got VERY favorable scores when facing Jacobs in Danny's own backyard.

how many threads will you guys be starting asking the same thing?

Not making excuses, but you have to admit the questionable scoring that surrounds Canelo's fights.

I'm sure the promoters want a close fight where the majority of fans think GGG wins but they give it Canelo, so everyone clamors for a rematch... Or even if it's not that close but Canelo doesn't take a huge beating even though he clearly lost on the cards, because he wasn't completely humiliated, they still give it to him to set up the rematch, sort of like Bradly-Pac I.

I said the same thing in another thread. I don't see how anyone could think the cards wouldn't be iffy. GGG is 35 and not going to make more money for boxing after a few more fights while Canelo is arguably the biggest name in the sport and still in his prime. He lost damn near every round against Floyd and still got a draw on one card. GGG needs to beat him nearly to death or stop him or he loses on the cards. I like both guys so it's not making an excuse for GGG. It's the cynicism that goes along with watching boxing for 30 years. I'm kind of just shutting that out and going to enjoy what should be a classic of a fight.

He needs a KO win and it won't be hard

Man why do all of you seem so shook?

[Lester Tutor]

Why are you guys worried about the cards? Golovkin is going to get KO'd!

[Larry the boss]

GGG is the boogyman who is supposed to kill Canelo..why are you worried about a damn scorecard?
