    HBO commentators are such hypocrites.

    In the first Kovalev-Ward fight, they kept on saying how Kovalev started on strong, got the KD, but Ward rallied in the second half and deserved the nod.

    Canelo started better, GGG was dominant from the 5th round on, but now they pull a different narrative.

    Ahh suddenly Canelo deserves it because he was making GGG back away somewhat? Hell, in this case GGG deserved to win the first fight at least 10-2, if not 12-0.
    Nah it was a close fight. Canelo created a good lead in the first half as Ggg started super slow again. GGG made a great rally in the later rounds that is why people are swayed with their recent memory. And then came the 12th round where Canelo closed the show better.

    Understandable decision imo.

      There's an obvious inconsistency. What didn't work for one, worked for the other. I didn't see GGG touch the ropes once, yet Saul was supposedly walking him down, despite Gennady turning and slipping a lot of Saul's work.

        What's insane is how many members either don't admit it, or even worse, can't see this hypocrisy.

          I wish PPV events would include an option to disable the commentary.

            They do. On the remote there is a mute button. You can also turn the volume down with the little down arrow under the VOL.

            GGG was never going to get a win on the cards, especially in a close fight. I had it a draw but he easily could've gotten the win in both fights.

              I had Canelo winning. His work is cleaner than Kov's which means it is easier to acknowledge and as a result score.

                Dunn. Really?

                I would still want to hear the punches, to get a better sense of if they landed and how hard.

                Mute button... Some advice...

                  ggg lost the 8th, 10th, and 12th, that is not rallying, he faded while Canelo rallied especially in the 12th.

                  The 8th round was a huge round, he landed some of his best punches that round.

                  Round 10 is where the commentators said Canelo was hurt lol, in reality he ate ggg's power shots and came back storming with combos.

                  Round 12 Canelo close out strong, Sanchez said ggg took his foot off the gas.

                    Again GGG threw and landed more, but suddenly it’s Canelo’s more come forward approach that makes him deserve the nod?
                    I had ggg winning the first fight.

                    he definitely lost the 2nd fight
