Comments Thread For: Canelo Edges Golovkin With Majority Decision in Action Fight

[whoelsebutjames]

Golovkin rounds 1,4,5,8,9,10,11
I had it 7-5 Golovkin
Could have given 11 and 12 to either to be honest.

Round 9? U gave him a round for getting backed up by power punches

GGG has always been overrated. When you finally get your step up fight you end up being too cautious.
Canelo was their to get hit, GGG landed some great shots in the last few rounds, but never really capitalized. GGG always took the cautious approach. It was very annoying to watch.
GGG has himself to blame for what happened in the Canelo fights.

I had him winning both fights, but he could have and should have done more.

You had him winning the lineal mw championship twice back to back vs. The best competition in the division but at the same time saying that he's overrated? You really can't see a problem with that?

I had it 7-5 or 8-4 Golovkin just like the first fight. And I predicted Canelo to win the rematch convincingly. Impossible to beat this guy on the cards unless you're Mayweather.

[Don Pichardo]

All the morons who mocked Canelo for being a runner are not telling us who was the runner now. And all these robotic eastern european fighters are so losers too.

Wait a sec are you trying say that ggg was running from Canelo??

[pillowfists98]

Canelo dominated GGG to the body. GGG did even less body work then he did in the first fight.

Round 9? U gave him a round for getting backed up by power punches

Yeah, that was the whole round, nothing else happened

[Blond Beast]

what you means is..... they talked shht for years, and were unable to back it up when it came to Jacobs and Canelo

Well Nelo will diss GGG and say he doesn’t hit as hard as people say, but I’ve never heard him say he hits harder. So yeah u kinda proved my point. Gee gets dissed for not backing up his rep.

[Don Pichardo]

SSSSSOOOOOOOO GGG ran the whole fight yet he won but last time CANELO ran and what now?? Double standards bs CANELO won plus GGG did not win all the close rounds it it was close in many rounds so stop crying.

Ggg ran? You need to see Trinidad vs de la Hoya and then edit your post.

[BrometheusBob.]

Don't know if anyone posted the scorecards or not, but here they are.



Judges in agreement:
Rd 1: Canelo
Rd 2: GGG
Rd 3: Canelo
Rd 4: GGG
Rd 5: Canelo
Rd 6: Canelo
Rd 10: GGG
Rd 11: GGG

Judges in dispute:
Rd 7: Canelo 2-1
Rd 8: Canelo 2-1
Rd 9: Canelo 2-1
Rd 12: Canelo 2-1

You read rounds 1-2 the wrong way around. They had GGG-1, Canelo-2.
