Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin: Byrd's Bad Scorecard is 'Terrible for Boxing'

[angkag]

GGG why no massive body attack when he was spent in the middle rounds before he got his second win when he was gasping for air take the ribs the liver the last air?

Canelo's defence again and the threat of counters kept him from whipping to the body like he normally does. Way to easy to just say it was a flaw on Golovkin's part, Canelo stopped Golovkin going to his body with speed and movement. Even on the ropes the threat of the uppercut kept Golovkin 1/2 pace further back than normal so that his punches had to travel further than they normally do, and Canelo's head and body movement did the rest.

Enough to win him the fight ? imo no, but need look at Canelo to figure out why Golovkin couldn't do a lot of things he normally does (if Golovkin did get to do his normal thing Canelo wouldn't have seen the final bell, let alone be able to rally at the end).

Was GGG complaining about the terrible score cards in the Jacobs fight?

not sure. But atleast they got the right guy winning

I streamed the fight thru BoxNation and every single one of those British ringside announcers and studio guys had it for GGG.

Byrd needs to find and walk the same exit path that Cynthia J Ross did and leave permanently...

£200 on Canelo outright, £80 on Canelo KO & £35 on the draw. I knew for a fact GG wasn't going to win before the fight. All my posts beforehand prove that. Do the maths for me?...

Canelo round 1,2,3,6,7,8,9,10,11.

117-111 for me. Golovkin career low connect percentage. Failed to put on bigdramashow and failed to even put a dent on Saul.

Well he's 35 going on 40, twilight years of his career whether people accept it or not. However so is Canelo. His "I'm going to KO blah blah BS", then his performance was the saddest thing I've ever seen.

Your scores prove one thing...Don't drive without getting your eyes checked immediately!

canelo vs Lara 117-111, trout 118-109,mayweather 114-114,cotto 118-109, and now GGG 118-110....canelo always has an insurance judge...su****ious

You my friend are NOT supposed to notice these things! Just believe what the promoters tell you.

[bluemax]

what about the 114-114 card? since ggg won so easily

Good Point! And as I've said in previous replies I felt all the scores were tainted even the one favoring GGG. Canelo cannot win rounds simply for surviving regardless what his loyal nuthuggers will insist was a winning strategy

Luck! Canelo dont need luck!
He got the judges in his pocket! What luck?

Gareth Davis from The Telegraph scored it 116-112 Canelo. I think a few of us Brits saw the fight differently to people watching the HBO feed. Lederman can really brainwash people sometimes.

I had a stream from Boxnation and wasn't paying attention to the commentary. I scored it a draw. If not a draw, then +1 round for GGG. No way Canelo won more rounds.

The 2 Boxnation commentators and the 2 "experts" in the UK studio, Garry Lockett and Amir Khan, all thought GGG won clearly. Lockett and Khan both picked Canelo to win before the fight.
