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

[Tarl of Bristol]

Trip G needs to either completely dominate the fight or knock Canelo out. I think Trip G gets the KO because he will have a strong sense of urgency.

The scoring of CJ Ross for a draw in Canelo vs. Floyd and two judges having Canelo ahead against King Khan show there is definetely biased in the scoring in Canelo favor. Thing is, I think Trip G has been waiting for this for a oong time and is going to leave no doubts; he is the bigger, stronger man and the better fighter.

Trip G by KO within 9.

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.

Please elaborate, how was it VERY favorable exactly?

[The Big Dunn]

If the fight is in Vegas or Texas, you can be sure Canelo will get every benefit of the doubt from the judges.

While this thread feels like preemptive excuse making, I think it's a fair question to ask. At least the TS isn't pulling a Maxi and implying Canelo is on PEDS.

I know a bunch of GGG haters will call this excuse making, but every single big fight Alvarez has been in which went the distance has had ****ed scorecards. Every single one. Trout, Mayweather, Lara, and Cotto all had at least 1 horrendous scorecard. This is 100% an issue going into this fight.

Golovkin will probably need to win 9 rounds to get a 7-5 decision, and that's the best case scenario. Mayweather won all 12 and got a majority decision.

You're talking about a rogue judge who also had Bradley beatic Pac and has since retired (read; forced to quit). You guys that want to take an anomaly and fly a banner with it are not convincing anyone because your argument's foundation is in sand.

What about the Cotto fight? what about the Trout fight?... btw, you didn't say nothing about the "favorable scores" GGG got which was what 80% of boxing analysts saw. 7-5 and 6-6.

Golovkin just got a UD in a fight many people saw him lose. He's one of HBO's favourites.

Judging will be fine.

This is what I'm saying, but the hate got into the heads of even the rational people here.

Many people doesn't mean majority of people.

60+% of people had him winning. I had it 6-6. A lot of people rewatched it and scored 7-5 or 6-6 for Golovkin.

I didn't say a majority, I said many.

That fight very much split opinion, yet every judge had it for Golovkin. It was a very close, competitive fight.

If you wanna talk about an horrendous UD in which the official winner was the loser to 75% of boxing analysts and fans, you can talk about Kovalev-Ward.

Golovkin-Jacobs was a 6-6 fight in which the KD gave Golovkin the win. I'm not mad if some people saw Jacobs winning. I scored it 6-6 live. But the majority of the boxing public saw GGG win.
