Just rewatched and scored it. Please stop crying. No robbery.

If I didn't, then I think one guy did slightly better work and deserved it.
This fight was full of close rounds. Looking at other people's scorecards no one can really agree that one guy 100% deserved a round. Scorecards are all over the place.Comment

Being completely legit; didn't watch the fight (was flying back home), so simply going off of what the post I was responding to scored the fight.
If a round is close, logic says that the edge usually goes to whatever style the person scoring prefers.
Unless you're trying to argue that Golovkin or Alvarez simply clearly dominated more rounds than folks are talking about, I'm not sure where your surprise is coming from.Comment

Yeah, I think many preferred Golovkin's pressure style even if he wasn't landing cleanlyComment

I didn't watch the fight again yet, but your score is fine. Close fight or a draw are fair. The problem is that 118-110 card by Byrd that put do much controversy on the judging. It's really marring what was a great, great fight.
Mad props to both fighters.Comment

Sometimes boxing fans are their own worst enemies. They watch the fights as one big round, don't keep scorecards, and then like to cry when the decision is announced. This isn't surprising, there are people that think Floyd lost to Maidana and Pacquiao. Probably the same people that think Kovalev-Ward I was a robbery.
Unfortunately, people see one guy coming forward and assume he deserves to win.
Anyway, here is my scorecard. Watched it with no audio so I wouldn't be influenced. *** means that the round was close and could have gone either way. Canelo was throwing the combos, landed the eye catching shots, and better body shots. Golovkin applied the non-stop pressure.
Neither guy was hurt, dropped, bloodied, battered or took significant damage. Rounds were close. Cries of robbery uncalled for.

6-6, 114-114.
The one judge's scorecard was ridiculous but the overall DRAW decision wasn't.
115-113 for either guy would not have been a robbery.Comment

6-6 draw
Canelo had first 3 rds
Golovkin took control from 4-9
Canelo rallied and won the last 3..
Honestly pretty easy fight to score..
1,3,10 were close.. ggg gets one of those rds, he wins
I see no credible argument for canelo winning, but a draw is legitComment
