Comments Thread For: WBC Prez: Canelo Deserved The Win in Golovkin Rematch

[Zaryu]

With all due redirect, I don't think it's the WBCs place to be advertising who they think won the fight.

Even the pros that picked Golovkin aren't saying it's a robbery apart from Malignaggi.

I have made a completely different point in my initial post. Why this list of Canelo's fans suddenly appeared is beyond me..

What is their definition of "robbery"? When you unfairly reward a point to another fighter and that changes the victor of the fight, how is this not a robbery?

Many of these pros also said "it could have gone either way". And the problem here is that no, it couldn't. It could only go for Canelo. The doubt could not have possibly be interpreted for GGG. We all know that, don't we? You need to take belts from a champion and while Canelo did very well in the fight and a draw could have been a legitimate and, out of two other options, the least controversial result (any argument there?), he definitely did not take the belts off GGG convincingly. One point for the 12th round which undoubtedly should have been GGG's is not convincing and does not amount to taking the belt off the champion.

The WBC clearly favored Canelo before the fight, nothing new.

Robbery no, but most pros (without a dog in the fight) either though GGG won or a possible draw. I did notice Spence and Charlo felt differently but both are praying for a Canelo pay day.

This clown is really in love with Canelo.

I wish I was close enough to throw my shoe at him like the guy did at a George W. Bush press conference years ago.
