Comments Thread For: Canelo Gives Golden Boy 'Green Light' To Finalize Golovkin Bout

[turnedup]

rounds 1,2,3, 10,11,12, i had the fight a draw since the first time and i have a straight face... this is an honest opinion and i can agree with a different, i just wouldnt agree if anyone tells me that ggg clearly won or dominated any of those rounds.. you can even say he won any of those rounds and i have no problem with that... neither won 7 clear rounds that is why we have unfinished business here...

Ok....that puts you in the minority. When about 7 out of 10 professional writers say he lost. The general public outside of the fan bases say he lost the fight..guess what. That's the majority. It is what it is, we know the lopsided card saved him from the loss. It's part of the game. The funny thing is we've seen this countless times already in boxing if you've been a fan long enough, years later people tend to come around and face reality. He won the 10,11, and 12th rounds..I completely disagree that he swept any round beyond the 12th cleanly after the end of the 3rd but then again I don't believe fighters win rounds fighting 20 to 30 seconds of a round.

yeah, most had ggg winning, i have no problem with that, but most also aknowledge it was very close fight, now the byrd card was a disgrace, i bet not many would had complain if her card favored canelo by a round only, if she was trying to help canelo she definately did it the wrong way..
but one good thing came out of all this, we are getting a second fight and very likely a third one and even know many here complained, i really enjoyed the fight, so im all in for that..

sweet! ggg gets another pay day and ginger gets another ass kicking.

Get off the let's pretend game.

So this whole time there was no green light? Kind of wack from Canelo. Losing respect for him.

Golden boy team
were just negotiating how much it would cost to buy a crooked judge for another 118-110 score card. GGG needs to put sissy down this time, these guys are shady.

[WesternChamp]

i thought oscar came out and said the fight was very close to being done??? now canelo just barely gave them the green light? LOL

[Boxing42]

Yeah because in this era beating the champ no longer matters in the sport...I guess showing up makes you the winner by default now since you can't argue 6 rounds for Canelo with a straight face.

clean punches and defense> missing punches and getting hit clean. Not that hard 9-3 canelo

[Mirus]

LOL. Okay he's going to land zero punches even though he outlanded Canelo in the first fight, had no issues with him and backed him up all night against the ropes and Canelo couldn't hurt him?

In the first fight GGG clearly won. But in the rematch Canelo will look better. GGG is declining.

[Mirus]

no matter who wins, you can still be a fan

and Golovkin can still win that fight

Of course, I will root for GGG but I don't think he is going to win the rematch. I disappointed in GGG. He is declining. He is not interesting as 2-3 years ago.

[niceyboo3]

I am (was) a GGG fan. I admit that GGG can do nothing. He will go after Canelo 12 rounds with landing 0 punches. Canelo wins by UD due to some counter attacks. It will be very similar to the first fight, but this time Canelo will land more punches.

GGG will win only if he boxes very clever, uses head movement, sets up some traps.

Wait up, just so I understand. GGG wins the first fight gets robbed. He hasn't fought since therefore no proof of a decline. So now he loses via UD? He shouldn't even have to fight him again. For the money Yeah
