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

[Citizen Koba]

You can disagree but dont be a voice recorder and repeat "robbery" "travesty" because hbo or "boxingscene" says so, it was not. Ill give you other examples of biased US media. Lomachenko vs Russell if you just repeat what you read on these websites or what the showtime crew was saying Vasyl smoked Gary. But that was actually a close fight...it was Gary's high activity vs Vasyl's effectiveness and there was outrage at a judge who scored it close because it didnt go with what everyone (bias US media) wants. Russell got no credit for his high activity rate unlike ggg and Lomachenko was highly praised for his lower but more effective output not so canelo. Kovalev got credit for "blanking" Hopknis no crtisism for why the 30 yr old destroyer could not ko a 50 yr old fighter. And there are countless more including rankings. I have my theories on this bias but it transcends boxing and I would veer of topic.

Fair nuff. You're entitled to yours - I'm absolutely on board with the idea of media bias in some areas so I ain't closing the door on the idea - it's just that it's pretty much de rigueur for anyone who doesn't agree with media opinion to claim bias and I was wondering iof you could provide something more substantial. I could of course point to numerous examples where EE fighters appear to have got the ****ty end of the stick, but I suspect we'd just end up going round in circles.

I would be interested in hearing your theories at another juncture though... I'm always interested in that kinda stuff.
