Comments Thread For: Canelo-Golovkin - No Robbery, Embrace The Fight For What it Was

[Dark night 24]

But most of the pro fighters are saying Canelo won.

No robbery in the second fight, just the first in which Golovkin won easily. The rematch was either 115-113 to Canelo or 114-114 even. Golovkin lost it in the final round for me, just took the foot off the gas and let Canelo steal the round.

well before the "fight" took place i prognosticated that if golovkin did not get the KO he would be robbed that's exactly what happened outright robbery stealing of the champions title

Horse****

Alvarez didn't win the fight, it was a ****ing robbery.
It was close just score it accordingly, it's not that hard unless you are some weak crooked pos

im sick to death of being told i should be fine with the verdict. it was a ****ing bias decision, i dont care if it was close they gave it to the money maker, again as they do every fight. every close decision goes the same way and we are all meant to suck it up. you telling me its fair golovkin won 1 out of 6 of the cards over the course of the two fights? once again most people thought the wrong man one but we are all meant to be happy cause there were no 118-110 cards. everyone knew which way it was going if it was close there was no way it was getting scored to golovkin so lets cut the 'it could have gone either way' bull****, im fed up of bias cards fullstop, whether thats for a fighter i support or for a fighter i dont, there should be ZERO bias from judges for any fighter.

But that's the thing. In reality, the fight truly could have gone either way. I would've been fine with any close decision. Draw, majority draw, majority decision, split decision, close unanimous decision, as long as the scorecards were close, they got it right. Because it was that close. They got it right.

You seem to view this fight with the results of the first one in the back of your mind. You cannot do that regardless of the controversy of the first fight because this fight is its own 12 rounds and isn't connected to the first.

Right, it's debatable who deserved the decision but it was no robbery. Robberies are not competitive like this fight was.

Seems it's only a robbery when Kovalev or GGG lose. And I like both guys so I'm not trying to start a fight.

I saw the twitter posts too. Seems that most professionals scored it for Canelo and that should tell you something too.

It was a good fight. GGG got out hustled, plain and simple. End of story. The younger man won like I thought he would.
G is a strong durable man. If this was ten years ago GGG would of won both fights.

[b Murphington]

It's quite simple really...

In the first fight...GGG won by a landslide, Canelo did nothing but run...GGG got robbed in this fight.

In the second fight I was impressed with Canelo and the way he had changed his whole gameplan from the first fight, he did what he said he would do and looked good doing it, although the fight was alot closer I still had GGG winning this one 115-113. A draw in this fight wouldn't have been a controversy like the first one though. Canelo did good, but still not quite enough to win...you have to take it from the champion, he tried but not hard enough.

Basically, GGG should still be champ right now.

Who came up with that saying anyways? Kind of unfair to the challenger isn't it?

Stop changing the scoring criteria and giving the champion extra points because he's the champion.

[kidbazooka]

it is what it is. it is what it was last time, too
a robbery!
i had both fights 8-4 GGG

before you ask what im smoking, i grow my own

Well whatever you growing must be some gooooood shiiaat to have that score for ggg.
