Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez, Gennady Golovkin Battle To a Split Draw

[Shadoww702]

Apart from some young American males, few folks can name more than 2 MMA fighters. When Ali fought George Foreman in the "Rumble in the Jungle" almost a billion people around the world tuned in via radio and tv. When Louis fought Schmeling it drew the largest audience in history for a single broadcast. I don't think MMA will come close to matching those numbers.

Honestly thier Champions change so much I couldn't name one Champion in the UFC. And their BIGGEST STARS are HYPE jobs or PED CHEATS!

I have much respect for Conor though. But even HE made the MOST $$$$$$$ doing what??? Boxing!

Yep. It is ironic that Conor made more money in one night of boxing than he can in 50 years of MMA.

I've been thinking about the fight and a draw wasn't crazy. 118-110 was full ****** and that's what I think really pissed people off and made it seem like a robbery. I thought about it this way, I gave the 1st round to ggg but could've easily been given to canleo since neither did much. 2-3rd I gave to canelo. Then to me 4-10 were ggg with the 10th being iffy could've gone to canleo. 11-12 were most likely given to canleo so my score cards it's 8-4 in ggg favor with the 1st and 10th rds being swing rds a draw was not out of the question. Ggg should've secured more rounds after he saw canleo couldn't hurt him, what was holding him back? Also, what happened to his body attack? Was he told not to go there cause if he did he would've stopped canleo since he had nothing left? This outcome favors both of them since neither was set back much by the outcome, they both get 2nd payday. Canelo is going to get some hate his way and he is going to have a ruff time at MW. Dude can't fight more then 5rds.

**** a rematch, let Charlo or Sergei get a shot at their mandatories with GGG, no need to halt this division and wait till may to run it back, if you’re a unified champ keep defending your titles, there’s other men next in line, and I feel the same way about anyone who wants to be unified, past or present, Crawford whoever, keep defending your titles to the rightful people

I agree that GGG dictated the fight in the middle rounds. And personally, I thought he was on the way to stopping Canelo. But even in those rounds, Canelo managed to land cleaner shots. Not only that, he made GGG miss a lot. I agree that GGG forced Canelo to fight him off him. But Canelo was pretty successful doing it.

Personally, I think was hurt by a couple things. One was that he has a reputation as a huge puncher, but he never really hurt Canelo. Secondly, Canelo appeared to be the more skilled guy in the ring. Even when GGG had Canelo on the ropes. Canelo was slipping and making him miss. And when Canelo would throw back, they were clean connects. GGG basically did the Margarito tonight. Only difference was he couldn't close the deal. I'm not saying he didn't win the fight. 7-5 either way was an acceptable score to me. But we can't give him credit for dictating the pace if he's taking big shots in the process, and not really landing many of his own.

Great assessment. The best so far

In the end, this is the result that both promoters are probably happy with.

Both fighters are going to make a lot of money from this fight. Then there's the rematch for even more.

I think easiest thing to do is just forget about and move on. I think Golovkin took it too, but Canelo made it a fun fight to watch. Golovkin kept his belts, and gets another payday, could be a lot worse.

Only think I'm not letting up on is Byrd - an insult to boxing and both fighters. Not going to forget this one.

And lest we forget, she gave round 6 of Lomachenko/Walters to Walters.

Also lest we forget, Pierre Benoist gave Williams 119-110 in the first Martinez/Williams fight (so watch out for him too in case he tries to slither back)
