    Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez-Gennady Golovkin: Post-Fight Report Card

    Sometimes a controversy is about an injustice against a fighter. Sometimes it's about an injustice against the sport itself. What happened on Saturday is the latter. While this scribe falls in the majority appearing to have felt Gennady Golovkin won the needed seven or eight rounds to defeat Saul Alvarez, it wasn't an easy fight to score. One could find enough swing rounds to get to a draw. A draw, in and of itself, would not have been an injustice.

      Anyone here living in Mexico ? Just wondered what the general mood and reaction is South of the border, and what the fans would want to see Canelo do next.

        Adelaide Byrd should be investigated thoroughly.

        If this is a case of corruption then we need to know where the money is coming from.

              Did you read his report card?

                Yes

                I don't think it means what you think it means

                The average grade in Golovkin's post fight column is higher than that of Alvarez's.

                Alvarez's grades improved from where they were prior to the fight (but that doesn't mean he did better than Golovkin, only that he improved).

                  This was a C+, B- performance by both. I'm still shocked how horrible Canelo's pacing is. Golovkin was more "seek and wait to see what happen" than "seek and destroy".

                    That happens when you fight top-notch competition at their rightful weight and in their prime...
