How did you watch the fight and how did you score it?

from 1 to 3 for Canelo
from 4 to 10 GGG
11 close could give to either guy
12 for Canelo

So both 116-112 or 115-113 are fine with me.

I watched on Boxnation, I had it a draw at 114-114..... Boxnation commentary was alright, However I felt they gave Golovkin a little too much credit for his "pressure" especially when Canelo was on the ropes.

I ordered it on PS4 and got the Ring TV commentary. I had a fight party so we weren't listening to the commentary and I don't think they had an unofficial scorer for the fight so I didn't see a scorecard. I had Canelo by a slim margin. A couple of people there had GGG by a slim margin. We all agreed it was a close fight.

How did you watch the fight and what was your score?

Did you listen to the broadcast or see an unofficial scorecard?

How did other people around you score the fight?

Not trying to turn this into a who really won discussion. Just curious to see if the scores matched the commentary of the broadcast you watched.

You're hypothesising that the broadcast commentaries skewed perceptions of the fight and influenced the way people score it I guess. It's a totally understandable position though one that's hard to definitely prove. It might be easier in fights where different broadcasters' had widely different takes on the fight (such as GGG - Jacobs where the Boxnation commentary team were extremely vocal about praising Jacobs performance). Problem you then get though is that people will start questioning whether or not the commentary was in fact biased or whether only people who were already biased the other way see it that way if you catch my drift... Really difficult to prove anything to be honest, but my own gut instinct is that favourable commentary probably does affect how the public scores a fight to a moderate extent. Certainly psychology would support the idea that we're very susceptible to believing a narrative supplied by perceived experts or authority figures although certain (many in fact) personality 'types' (now there's some BS right there) are just as inclined to rebel against such narratives with no greater rational basis.
