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

[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.

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?

He is overrated. Just look at his career. Probably had one of the worst careers for someone who was hyped up so much.
Yeah, I had him winning, so what? He can still be overrated. It's not like he accomplished much.
When this guy finally had the fight he wanted he decides to be really cautious. There was times when Canelo was open and GGG almost refused to throw. It was so frustrating to watch.
Great jab to set up nothing. Like what?
Usually the jab is thrown to set up other punches.

Other fighters need to learn from GGG's mistake. I have to point them out, so other fighter's won't do the same.

Canelo will move back to 154 where he can bully opponents with his high and reach advantage. Obviously he can`t do that at 160. Imagine Canelo struggling like that with others top 160 dogs. He would end like Provodnikov.

Bully people with height and reach at 54? Outside of Floyd at 52 and Cotto, Canelo hasnt been taller than anyone lmao.

Not only that, but Charlo, Hurd, and Munguia are much taller and Hurd/Mungia seem even bigger than GGG..who’s noticeably bigger than Canelo.

It pains people to admit it but Canelo was never really THAT big at 54. Him and lara and trout and smith were all similarly sized with Liam being a good sized dude.

Hurd and Munguia could move up to 160 right now and probably have a size advantage still

I'm sick of those "could have gone either" bullsht.
You supposed now to overly dominate or it's a "could have gone either" fck it wich validate a small robbery.

That's not the case in both of those fights.

In high level fights its the case sometimes that both guys know how to win & know how to limit the other guys actions. That leads to 7-5 type fights that could go either way like it or not.

I've stopped caring about winning or losing so much I gotta say. I try to appreciate the fight for the fight & find the decision the least interesting part of a big fight.

And lotsa respected people said the first fight was a fight where they could see a draw. The Byrd card got everyone all emotional, but ultimately it wasn't unreasonable for someone to score the fight for Canelo...just not 10-2 like that dumb assh#le had it.

Look Bud had GGG winning again, Frampton said "**** off about that decision" and I'm pretty sure most boxers will have GGG clearly wining again, I mean, could have gone either, NO, I had GGG winning myself, period, if I thought it was that close, I would have a draw.

And? Generally in all of boxing boxers are the worst at picking the winner & telling fans which outcomes made sense or not. That said I fully understand people saying GGG won the fight, but anyone who's not realizing how the scoring works

When most serious people tell GGG won or could have gone either, then you know what's up.

I've not seem enough stances on who won, but I'll be looking more in the next day that said I'd still argue there were many close rds & even if I had it 7-5 GGG that puts it well within the realm of either guy winning it. So you can't complain unless you don't understand how boxing scoring works & how fickle it can be with the standard of giving a close rd to a fighter vs making it 10-10.

You're a serious poster and I was pretty much sure you had GGG wining.

Yea I did have GGG winning, but it wasn't outside the margin of error with all those early close rds which strongly went Canelo's way on the judges cards.

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

Oops my bad. Thanks for the correction.

[turnedup]

Well Golovkin says he wants the 3rd fight so I guess he's not retiring. He should retire and I have no issue saying that despite him looking like he can go on.

LOOOOOL

but clen doe...

but gloves doe...

but judges doe...

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Lol these lames are running out of fighters😂😂😊

[Calibaloc]

Fuuuck ggg sore loser no interview face all busted and cut yet he thinks he won lol

I know right. The face of GGG says a lot. Canrlo was power punching the hell out of GGG while backing him down. Easy fight to score.

[doom_specialist]

I'm hating? LMFAO. I've praised just about every fighter you mentioned. Just because you want to act like age isn't a factor for whatever personal reasons you want to pretend age in a sport like boxing isn't relevant. Hell this isn't baseball, it's not the NBA, and even in those sports giving a 35 year old athlete anything close to an elite level pay via contract is risky as fk..and that's to play ball not get punched in the face. Sit back for a moment and understand what i'm saying...you calling someone elite and them being elite are two different things. Once having being elite does not mean you remain that, especially if you aren't fighting anyone who is considered elite. Losing to elite fighters also doesn't keep you as elite which plenty of these guys did..LOSE after 35. You don't want to keep it going but here....don't take it from me....use google. Let science explain it to you. So if 20 people in thousands literally THOUSANDS within a sample size we can look at are the exception to the rule does that make the rule null and void? Again, don't let me say it..hit google and do your research and tell me 35 and over is still peak elite level of athleticism.

Golovkin was the #1 guy in his division, and up until a few hours ago he was supposed to destroy Alvarez, and he won the first fight easy and all that. Now he's just old lol. No one is saying that fighters don't diminish as they get older, but they can clearly still be elite, as Golovkin showed us. You're making excuses, and I don't need Google to show me that. Golovkin is P4P rated at 37, so I think he's an exception to the rule.

Earlier in the thread you were complaining about judges and how Golovkin was never getting a decision, then it was him pulling the trigger too late and being old PLUS the judges. Now you're trying to discredit older guys who managed to remain elite (as if nitpicking any resume is not easy), to prove the already well known fact that fighters slow down with age because...? I named 10 guys when you asked for 5 (most of them perched atop their divisions), so yeah, I don't see a need to continue. This'll be my last post on this. I can agree to disagree.
