Comments Thread For: Golovkin: Judging, HBO Commentary Not Fair for 1st Canelo Fight

[etech1]

Adayla byrd is a corrupt POS!

Boxing is so fked sometimes, I lose interest in it from time to time.

This sport has actually lost mainstream interest in america, when it used to be one of the biggest sports around.

I guess just like in nature, the parasite promoters and alphabet groups will leech off of the host till it's dead. Smh

Did I mention that adayla Byrd is a POS?

Hope he (GGG) trains hard for the next one. I would imagine on some level, Canelo maybe feels (which he 100% couldn’t admit that in the post fight—no one should) that Golovkin maybe got the better of the first fight. So you know he’ll be training with an ambition. GGG had better, too.

Go and look at the promo pics for the first fight he was fat as fk in the promotional tour. Not to say that impacted his performance or not or changed anything about the fight but seeing him at the recent WBC thing he attended in mexico he seems more fit between fights.

I guess GGG wants charity for all those missed punches he threw.

I agree, HBO is the worst and most biased commentary, but I felt they were biased towards GGG and calling shots that weren't landing.

[whoseyourdaddy]

Wasn't Jim calling punches that never landed that GGG threw?

I remember Jim Lampley calling everything right for GGG same as Kellerman, the only one there giving Canelo credit was Roy Jones, I remember Lampley screaming Golovking connects with a hard right hand! and another hard right hand, Canelo avoided both, but look like GGG indeed connected because we ( meaninning all of us at home) were listening his commentary. watching and dissecting the fight on video I see that GGG indeed miss a lot of punches, that I previously thought he connected.

I still have GGG winning but it was a close fight no matter what the argument is.

Move on. Not worth it to dwell on it.

he is right

And...he is wrong.

the HBO expert [Lederman] thought I won.

Lederman is an expert of nothing. Nothing. lmfaooooo

HBO commentating is the worse, and it's sad because they arguably have the best well rounded commentators but their bias is sickening. Sometimes they get downright disrespectful and try to paint certain obvious narratives for the uninitiated.

I'm always shocked when I hear Joe Rogan and the UFC team. No bias, calling everything down the middle, and never resorting to disrespecting the fighter or the viewers as HBO tends to do.

Joe Rogan and the UFC guys are on point. HBO's commentary team tends to see and say whatever falls within the parameters of their pre determined narrative. A guy has to really start to dominate to disrupt that.

Next time, knock him out then big guy, then there wouldn’t be a need to sit through this luke warm fight twice. The HBO cast was biased for no one but a rematch. I called the 114 to 114 score before they read it. That score was as suspect as Byrd’s. With HBO’s lack of major fights, look for controversy to create a third fight. WWE lives on HBO!!
