Comments Thread For: Golovkin Wants 'Fair Playing Field' if Rematch Returns To Vegas

[Synthrax]

lil g lost two fights in a row & it's on tape. The problem is that people who cheer lil g are bias or easily manipulated by Jim & harold....

I'm a pretty big "lil g" fan and I thought the draw was fair, I only had G winning by one. Even would have been ok with Canelo winning by a round or so - I thought he was impressive when he did engage, his counters are something else & ggg didn't go to the body because of it.

Problem is the clearly biased scorecard. Can't believe anybody would have either fighter winning by that much. If the roles were reversed, people would still be complaining, and rightfully so.

and Danny Jacobs definitely lost that fight. The knockdown really screwed him over. So, no, he didn't lose twice. I think your hate for triple g and his fans is what's biased.

To be honest, ggg did not win not one single clear round all close. Canelo out boxed ggg convincingly... imo Canelo should have won this fight

Don't be such hater. GGG won 7 and 8 clear as day and won 9 convincingly. If I'm not mistaken, Canelo barely landed a single punch in either 7 or 8. And some of you are acting as if Golovkin didn't land any power shots. He landed plenty of power shots too plus jabs, which is why he had the edge most rounds. Canelo landed the flashier punches but GGG overall had the better quality in terms of total landed punches and damage. The only rounds Canelo clearly won was 2,3 and 12. You can make an argument for GGG winning every other round

Not hating man, just expressing my opinions that's all. I still think Canelo had the better overall fight. What made it look close was that Canelo took some rounds off and let ggg put that pressure on him. Kudos to ggg and his stamina... that was impressive but although ggg put on the pressure, he was ineffective. Landed most of his punches on the winds chin not canelos. Canelo boxed ggg beautifully all night, even when he took breaks, he never took damage. Canelo caught ggg with tons of body shots, countered him with hooks and uppercuts all night and when Canelo engaged... it wasn't even close ggg was a lost man when Canelo threw. Problem is he didn't throw enough but I still think he won...

But 8 boxers thought Canelo won, bros...

I'll say the 4th round was clear cut in his favor for starters.

I saw ggg throw about 75 punches in that round and land anywhere from 17-20 punches and none were hard. All soft touches mostly jabs... saw Canelo throw about 35 punches and land about the same amt... with Canelo landing to the body and having a couple hard ones land. Made ggg miss 50+ times and had the better cleaner shots and higher percentage. Idk if thats clear ggg round.

Jermall at the top 2 rated over Golovkin is ridiculous. Based on what? Beating a guy that was crippled. He may turn out to be a very good fighter at Middleweight but to rate him above Golovkin and on par with Jacobs is ridiculous. Both guys are career Middleweights with a proven track record.

yep

I have middleweight wide open, with 3 top contenders who could possibly be the best..... Charlo/Saunders both still have something to prove

[joseph5620]

one judge probably already has there canelo 117-111 scorecard written down for the rematch

Yep lol. It's pathetic.

Dubai: place for GGG vs Canelo rematch

Golden Boy must work hard to stage the GGG vs Canelo II in Dubai. Ensure that one judge from USA, one from Asia, and one from Europe.

Similarly, Pacquiao vs Horn II should be held in China or in Macau and judges should compose of 1 European, 1 Asian and one American.

Boxing deserves to level up from politics.

Just beat the diva's stomach to a pulp from rd 1 this time. You know she can't hurt you, every time you land flush, she'll run.

I don't believe the bold

and that is the controversial issue regarding the scoring

that may be YOUR perception

e.g.

you said this..... Canelo clearly won (round) 3

and yet, 2 of the 3 judges gave that round to Golovkin

so, what do you mean by..... " clearly won " ?

because, had Don Trella scored that round for Canelo, as you suggested..... then Canelo would have won the fight

all I am saying is, that fight was close as hell, and extremely difficult to score..... so not sure if the words "clearly" and "convincingly" can be correctly applied to that fight
