We have enough threads arguing about the decision, so how about...

    this.

    the reaction to this fight shows me just how casual most of the bscene population really is. that was a very close fight. i thought the right man won. it was certainly not a robbery.


    golovkin doesn't storm out of the ring without an interview without a robbery. i'm disappointed that he didn't stick around to talk to max after what will probably be the most memorable moment in his career.

    that was a truly classic fight and i really hope that doesn't get lost in all of this. the whole world got a chance to see a classic, we should be celebrating it. not letting a lune like teddy atlas shift the narrative away from the greatness of the fight.

      It was a really good fight, Canelo showed a lot of balls coming forward.

      I still think he lost the fight, but much respect to him for conducting himself like he did last night.

        there are only so many times you can draw from the well and do that.
        Yeah, canelo probably took a few years off his career in this one.. dude stood right in front of ggg the entire fight. Reminded me of Chico corrales going thru hellfire vs Castillo

              Great fight and i was entertained, that's the main thing.

              Thought GGG deserved the win but i cannot knock Canelo. Both fought brilliantly. My only gripe with it was the inevitability of who was going to win on the cards, even if it wasn't deserved, but that's a problem in boxing in general. Even if it was inevitable Canelo would get a decision, he truly come to win this time, so i can only respect that.

                Seriously, I thought it was much better than the first one. Both guys came to fight and deserve a round of applause regardless of the decision/who we thought won.

                That was a great fight and definitely took a lot out of both men. The movie theater I was in loved the fight and gave a great applause after a several of the last rounds & the end of the fight.
                Agree. It was a great fight. Who would’ve thought GGG could still make a late rally, damn that was great to see.
                The champ giving his all after looking like he’s done in the middle rounds.
                That was what made it dramatic imo, and why many fans thought GGG won.

                    So true Man! That was some high level stuff. A level fighters using all their tools that they have learned. Both guys deserve tremedous respect.

                      2 questions need to be asked to Nell and ggg.
                      For Nell it would be what his thoughts are on the fact most people in boxing had him losing. And for Ggg it would be why no body punches?
