Comments Thread For: Canelo-Golovkin: Nevada Commission Approves Judges, Referee

[Steven Mccowan]

stfu, the ginger gene revolves the around and Asia before ''any Irish'' of its own country was around. Where's the article where there was a big immigration of Irish into Mexico? All The Alvarez brothers look alike. Travel around the world, you'll see siblings of older races than the mixture of the americas where siblings can differ drastically in color from hair to skin.

Damn dude settle down. Its called light conversation. This irish immigration i am speaking of is within last 130 yrs or so lol. I have plenty of mexican relatives that actually grew up there and have such knowledge. No big deal man. Geesh everyone on here have roid rage or what? Ha

You're a crack-baby that should of been aborted.

no, he's right. you're ****ing dumb.

[stealthradon]

No but you are one of the ones that say "it was the knockdown that won him the fight" but forgot about the WHOLE FIGHT.....

The rest of the fight where GGG outlanded Jacobs in most of the rounds? Landed the better shots. The cleaner shots, at a better rate.

[RyanjLarose]

When did GGG get gifted? The fight against Amari was a clear win. Gardner and Boudla fights were also clear wins. So was the Jacobs fight.

Ian Gardner is a street person in my city...always see him out on the streets

Canelo for sure has indigenous blood but yeah that light skin and red hair didn't come from Asians who crossed the bering strait. This guy's theory is odd.

If I had to guess:

Golovkins choice: Trella
Canelo's choice: Moretti
Compromise: Byrd

In general, it looks like a reasonable choice of judges in terms of past performance, the one exception being Moretti's scorecard of 119-109 for Canelo over Cotto. I'ts not a given from that one card that Moretti will score more for Canelo than the other two though based on other cards he has put in. I only had a quick look at past experience with these judges, so its not comprehensive, but:

Moretti
119-109 Canelo over Cotto
115-113 Canelo over Lara
- given how close this fight was, 115-113 isn't unreasonable
116-112 Canelo/Mayweather
- one could argue Mayweather won by a larger margin than that, so maybe favoured Canelo again
120-108 Canelo over JCC Jr
- same as other 2 judges, no surprises there


Overall seems Moretti either like Canelo's style or favours him (which might be the same thing). Odds-on he scores more for Canelo than the other two judges do (hello SD or MD)

Trella
115-112 for Golovkin over Jacobs
- whatever one thinks of the fight, this is how a lot of people saw it, so looks to be reasonable
- had Golovkin 20-17 over Geale, no shocker there.

Byrd
- was a judge for Wade/Golovkin, fight ended round 2 so doesn't matter
- had it 50-43 for Golovkin vs Monroe (1 other judge same, one had it 49-44), no shocker
- had 120-108 for Canelo v JCC, ie got it right
- had Khan up by 1 point vs Canelo, kind of suggests not one to give Canelo rounds just because he's Canelo

I'm guessing Moretti scores it for Canelo and the other two get it right (and if right means Canelo, then Canelo gets a UD, else Golovkin gets a MD if its close). Unless its one-sided and even Moretti can't screw it up (either way).

Nice rundown.

When did GGG get gifted? The fight against Amari was a clear win. Gardner and Boudla fights were also clear wins. So was the Jacobs fight.

It was no gift. Close fight but not a gift. Something like 18/20 of the press who scored it from ringside had Golovkin. This is the attempt of his haters to bring him down. Then you'll hear them say the Ward close win and Mayweather close win vs. Castillo weren't bad decisions at all.

No Judges or Ref. needed for this fight.

#1P4P SAUL ALVAREZ CANELO by Epic KO!

Too much too soon for the protected "good boy" Gennady. Fighting in the Bum Bracket will not prepare you for the 2 Headed Monster your about to face. Luck will not be enough Gennady.

VIVA EL IMPERIO MEXICANO!

You're so right... Canelo fighting Amir Khan,Liam Smith, and JCC jr I'm sure got him very well prepared for what Golovkin brings to the ring that night.

Canelo is the most protected little b itch in boxing. Most smart Mexicans are picking the real warrior and it ain't the flat-footed soft punching albino from south of the border.

[Diego Rodriguez]

Let's just say that Golovkin would be smart to not let this one go to the judges.

Exactly or he better make it decisive and I mean decisive. They understand this, if they allow a close fight and lose it is on them. I agree with Abel. They are going eyes wide open.
