Joe Rogan on The Controversial Canelo vs Golovkin Decision
Collapse
-
media members and industry were so sure that GGG was going to have an easy win because of Canelo's ultra low tests! too many had bet on the wrong guy, most likely big wagers too, and when in denial you start to say nonsense. they were for certain Canelo would perform the same as the first fight, which translate to them in thinking it would be worse.teddy's just so wrong on this one. he kind of makes his own counterargument.
this sport is inherently subjective until it becomes not subjective. we call those fights robberies. there's no "opinion" on who won these fights, we've all seen enough boxing and we have seen these fights, we know what a buttkicking looks like, and we call it a robbery when the decision doesn't go to the dude very obviously who did the kicking.
a robbery must CLEARLY be a robbery.
teddy atlas can't [and doesn't look like he is trying to] look straight into the camera in a sober and unexcited state and make his case for the inarguability of a canelo victory. and that's because it's way too easy to make an argument for canelo winning 7 rounds! way too f#cking easy! he won't do it because he cannot.
atlas is still an employee of ESPN. controversy is one of the only things ESPN still does well. they love that ****. what's good for espn are 5-30 second highlights and clips and quick sound bytes. teddy screaming about a robbery is good for business, and my guess is that it's probably at the very least encouraged that he react the way he did when a close fight [and narrative] doesn't go in the way that it appears the public would have wanted it to go.
it's incredibly obvious what happened in regard to the attitude towards this decision. the public wanted golovkin to win. a part of me wanted him to win, too. he's been ducked by a lot of top earning guys over the years, and because he's on the downside i wanted him to have one last day in the sun. i also thought he still had enough in the tank to be the better man at 36 than a 28 year old alvarez in his prime. i was wrong in that regard. the better man won the fight, and canelo is going to kick golovkin's ass if they fight again. mark my words. golovkin will have no answer at all for canelo's speed in the rubber match. whatever he had left will be further depleted, and stylistically / tactically he will have been figured out.
rematches typically do not favor punchers unless he scored a knockout or is just a better fighter. styles make fights. once a fighter adjusts to a puncher's timing and power he's typically at a stylistic advantage and he brings an improved gameplan. punchers still plan to knock you out or break you down, it's in their blood, a function of their confidence, and what they've been successful in doing.Comment

Rogan doesnt know **** about boxing.
He legit thought that Conor McGreggor was going to knock out Floyd. Then after the fight, he thought Conor was winning rounds because he could outbox Floyd. Joe was too ****** to understand Floyd had zero respect for Conor's punching power, was 40 years old and sloppy and wanted Conor to throw a lot early to tire himself out so he could get a stoppage later.
Any time Rogan talks boxing he ****s it all up. He pretends like he pays attention to boxing and understands it.Comment
