Comments Thread For: Linares: The Draw Was Best Decision For Canelo vs. Golovkin

[MagikLair]

People saying that Golovkin won clearly is ****** as hell

I guess there is a lot of ****** people. Says the guy with the Canelo picture on his profile..

[Chuckguy]

I had it 145-0 canelo

I just impressed Linares is still relevant. I saw him live in Cancun in a war, were he won with a huge KO. Course I've seen him get starched in round one before. I'd watch him fight Mikey at 140.

Yeah he's right, it was the best decision for Canelo, in his fight against GGG. Lose 8 rounds to GGG and still get a draw....thats a splendid decision for Canelo.

most people had golovkin winning 8-4 which is wrong. i had canelo winning 7-5 because canelo landed the bigger shots, but golovkin just was more active. the problem i have with scoring is that cancer 118-110 card which unfavorably hurt canelos reputation. the kid fought his heart out, had no influence over the judges decision but everyone blames the card on him. another problem i have is that people said golovkin was going to sleep canelo this fight and since he didn't do that, their 2nd excuse is to say 8-4 on the cards in golovkins favor as a excuse to hide the fact that golovkin didn't knock him out.

the worst of it all was that cancerous old piece of senile demented **** harold lederman. why cant that guy just retire and drop dead? his scoring is the worst in ****ing boxing, he had golovkin winning 116-112 and gave golovkin 2 of the 4 first 4 rounds when canelo had his best moments in the start of the fight. its ****ers like him who ruin boxing by negatively influencing the fans scoring of the fight, alongside that ***** jim lampley.

Dont be so sure about "most people" the media has a way to try manipulate what you think. The fact is it is about even for canelo and ggg and alot of other people have a draw. Dont go by US outlets (this website included) which are cheerleaders for certain fighters and only show one side of the coin.

The fight wasn't even close. Canelo boxed circles around that clown and made him miss big. I actually have no problem with the 118-110 card at all because that fight wasn't close. Canelo clearly won that fight.

Also, anyone who says GGG won round one is ****** AF! He literally didn't land anything in that round.

The most objective post on the thread


Exactly.

Lederman is a bag of sh.it and too Lampley

In the Latin-American TV all the analysis were saying that the fight was to close and competitive.

Is the America.media the only that said that was a robbery to GGG.

Please...

You are right about the US media if canelo was from anywhere else other than Mexico you can be sure they would be saying different.

You should never judge because Canelo clearly took rounds 1 through 3 because triple G barely fought and showed canelo a ton of respect. Now from the 4th till about the 9th triple g I would say took those rounds but some could of went either way. Now 10, 11, and 12th all canelo what's that give you 6 rounds to 6 a draw but I could see it being won by either fighter. You triple G cheerleaders needs to get over yourselves just because he was steam rolling over bums and all of you thought he was gonna destroy Canelo oh boy how your views have changed now you cry robbery because triple G couldn't knock him out. Get over it and since when do we score a fight on a person backing someone up because someone is putting pressure on them if that's the case Floyd lost almost every fight he ever fought except for the Conor fight.

I am tired of hearing "its good for boxing". I am tired of hearing the judges had a bad day.
GGG won the fight convincingly. Then he got screwed. While little Prince Charming Canelo got more gifts on the judge's cards. He got it in Mayweather. He got it in Lara. He got it with Trout. He was ahead in the Khan fight, which is not what was happening.
He is a very good fighter I will not take that away from him but when these scorecards are so off so many times, how in the hell is that good for boxing? Something is corrupt!
It's good for Golden Boy and its good for Canelo. All the promoters will make a lot of money if there is another fight. I suspect they will let GGG get two years older because he didnt lose as much as they hoped. Canelo lost this fight plain and simple and GGG got screwed. It is BAD for GGG and the sport of boxing.

Said it many times... close fight, no robbery. Canelo was more accurate, very clever and solid defense, just not active enough mid rounds. So what's the downside? The Byrds got their shiny new car, and we fans get a great rematch. Yes I get some of your points, but at the end of the day, it isn't the end of the world.

Maybe in Mexico, man. I'm in the UK and every single account I've read or heard saw Golovkin winning and many reports describe it as (to paraphrase) a travesty. I'm not trying to be biased merely reporting what I've seen. And why would the UK media favour a Kazakh over a Mexican?
