Official NSB Poll - Canelo vs. GGG 2

[Vlad_]

About 65% thinking it was a GGG win or a draw. most ringside scorecards thought the same also.

Close fight but I think they gave it to the wrong guy again.

No surprises there... Again.

[GrandmasterWang]

Judges moved the scoring a few ticks to Canelo's favor in both fights...

The second one cost him his belts though, and that is pathetic.

What do you think of this compared with Kovalev/Ward 1? Imo that was far worse as Ward was dropped and outlanded.

In this fight Canelo brought the fight to GGG and actually fought "Mexican style".

I thought Kovalev losing his belts was a robbery (there was another one on the same card to another JayZ fighter)

This fight Canelo did more damage than GGG and can make a clear case imo for winning the fight.

I haven't voted yet, will need to sit down and properly watch the fight with no one around me but GGG talked mad **** about Nelo not being willing to 'fight' him and in terms of the perception Canelo bossed this fight far more than GGG which may have influenced the judges.

Vlad, please rate this fight compared to Kova/Ward 1 in germt of a champion being stooged of their belts.

Who do you think was stooged more, GGG or Kovalev?

[Bad_Guy]

I thought G edged this one, but it was a great fight! I am not gonna bother complaining about the decision since you can't really call it a robbery imo. Canelo fought a great fight, and he gets mad respect for the way he fought in my book.

I think Canelo delivered a much better performance against GGG than Ward did against Kovalev.

Did Canelo come closer than Ward at beating his opponent? He absolutely did. Canelo delivered a beautiful performance. But in both cases neither fighter had done enough to dethrone the champ.

In my opinion, the decision is equally garbage in both cases. Both guys lost by 1 point in a "close fight" therefore it cannot be a robbery, as some claim. But it was absolute robbery in both cases. It does not matter if it's by 1 or 10 points, what matters is that both champs lost THREE world title belts on garbage decisions in fights which they did not lose.

I also don't get the narrative where Canelo made GGG back away in this fight. Canelo kept his ground, but so did GGG. Both fighters spent 90% of the fight circling each other near the center of the ring, around the Tecate logo.

I would also recommend you rewatch the fight on mute.

Robbery because it cost GGG three belts and a stain on his record. GGG does not deserve an L more than Canelo.

I scored it a draw.

People automatically give the close rounds to GGG over the 24 rounds Canelo won the clear rounds

Umm, no. If that was the case than GGG would have handily won both fights 9-3 or 8-4.

Should said tv people and they had 8-4 for GGG did you see ESPN after the fight?

115-113 was the right score imo
