    Canelo vs. GGG one of the best fights in a long time

    With all the controversy with the judging and the trolls on this forum, I don't think the normal fans had a chance to express their appreciation for this fight. Personally, i thought it was one of the most exciting fights in years, high skill, action-packed, fast pace, clean (very few fouls) fight.

    In my eyes, this was definitely a 10/10 fight. How did you find the fight itself in terms of skill, excitement, intensity etc.

        It was a 9/10 for me. It wasn't a slugfest or anything, but to me, it was a very enjoyable boxing match. I've replayed a few parts and keep finding more and more nuances to that fight on 2nd and 3rd looks. Both Golovkin and Canelo were doing some things they're not getting credit for.

        I have really high expectations for the rematch. If they both come in fit and healthy (don't F up, G!), the rematch should be better than the original.

              AJ V WLAD is still foty by a massive margin and estrada v cuadras was superior too.

                To me, in technical boxing it was better than in excitement. Gonzalez/Cuadraz is greater in excitement and close in terms of two-way skill.

                  I don't think so. GGG fans were content with the Jacobs fight even though he was "exposed."

                  But when Alvarez does it, as the compubox speaks for itself compared to the Jacobs fight, this time, A DRaW is blasphemous because most ggg fans voted an Easy KO! We're talking like 9:1 KO vs Close Decision in favor of GGG.

                  It's all karma, and the Jacobs fan are a bit goofy themselves. I and others also had Jacobs expecting to win before the fight...I recall that if Pirog and Mora did their thing surely Jacobs couldn't do well...

                  It's all Karma

                    It gets a 7 from me. I enjoyed the fight and couldn't take my eyes from the TV for the full 12 rounds but it could have been better. GGG wasn't that accurate and canelo could have done more. I thought GGG won and look forward to the rematch IF it happens.
