You've never heard fighters and promoters claiming they are going to KO the other guy or that the other guy has no balls. It happens all the time. Able likes to talk and he does it a lot. He claimed at one point that Golovkin would be a bigger star than Ali. It's what happens in the ring that counts. Yeah Canelo did better in the rematch but he lost a close fight. As Russ Anber said, that talk (primarily by Sanchez) backfired with the judges. He had Golovkin winning by the way. I watched the first four rounds of the first fight again and the bias for Canelo by the announcers was incredible. Sanchez should have been mad at himself not his fighter after the second fight for shooting off his mouth. Canelo is the annointed face of boxing no question.
Golovkin doesnt want 3rd Canelo fight??

Abel said both before and AFTER the fight that Canelo fought the fight THEY WANTED.
Either it wasn't GGG's night or Canelo is better than they thought.
Regarding the 1st fight...there's no bias. GGG started late. 1st round was a toss-up. Canelo won 2 and 3 without question. Rd 4 is where there is some debate. I think it was Rd 6 where Canelo could be argued to have won, but GGG won 5, 7, 8, and 9 without question. Some debate can be had about 10 and 12 in the 1st fight.
Just rewatched Round 3. I can't in good conscience give GGG that round. He was outlanded in every meaningful punch, threw mostly pitter-patter punches (still feeling Canelo out) and almost everything big he threw was blocked or partially blocked. Canelo was accurate, strong, and defended very well.
All 3 judges (in first fight) gave Canelo rounds 1, 2, 10, 11, and 12. Other rounds sprinkled in between. That is namely why I have no clue what GGGstans (like yourself) whine about when crying "ROBBERY". It was a fight where 5 rounds were given to the same fighter on every scorecard. Even the fan apps gave Canelo 1, 2, 10, 11, 12. The debate exists primarily over rounds 3 and 4 and I felt 3 was an easy round to score...so it really just comes down to round 4 which was a toss-up round.

That is why I gave Canelo both fights 7-5, but I can understand and accept alternative scoresLast edited by Bjl12; 01-18-2019, 01:00 AM.Comment

See, this is the exact reason your a Canelo fanboy and not a boxing fan, you agree Canelo gets preferential treatment so in giving a draw in the first fight the judges must have scored every possible round to Canelo regardless whether he was deserving of that round or not, to have 80% view it as a GGG win is huge, you say all the trainers and fighters said he won the second fight and push that as proof yet more said that GGG won the 1st fight and you are happy to dismiss that, you say look at his face, I say watch Chavez v Taylor and that will prove that wrong, GGGs face looked nearly as bad against rosado yet you dismiss that as well, you find every possible excuse for Canelo, he was willing to dump the belt to avoid GGG and wait 2 years for him to get a bit older, he has been suspended for PED use, but you would forgive anythingThis will be the last time I respond to you on this topic.
The first and second fights were very different. What changed was Canelo's gameplan.
Abel is on the record asking for exactly what happened - Canelo to stand and trade - that was GGG's gameplan. Abel even said after the fight that Canelo gave them exactly what they wanted.
Abel is ALSO on record saying he can't complain about the judges because Canelo fought a great fight.
If you are upset about the gameplan of a fighter in either fight please contact their camp. Most people saw a winner, albeit narrow, but only rabid fans whined about robberies or controversy.
There was never a robbery. I felt Canelo won both fights 7-5 and I'd be happy to go through those fights if you wanted. I also am not put-off if someone says GGG won both fights 7-5 although I think GGG winning 7 rounds in the 2nd fight is pushing it. Nonetheless deviating 1 round from the official judge(s) is not outrageous.
The two guys are evenly matched no matter how you slice it. They could fight 10 times and after 120 rounds it could be something like 54-54-12. The most glaring difference is their age and, if you can remain objective, it is very hard to pretend Canelo ducked.
Canelo has fought Lara, Trout, Floyd, Cotto, GGG...and the 2nd GGG was coming of a year layoff (without a tuneup), knee surgery, and PED speculation. And now he will fight top contender Danny Jacobs
GGG has fought Canelo and Danny Jacobs. There are no other legitimate threats on his entire professional resume. Like it or not GGG has one of the worst boxing resumes in any weight class today. And he had chances to fight Andrade, Dervenchenko, BJS, Canelo/Cotto in 2015 at a catchweight, Ward at 168, Lara, and others I'm probably forgetting. He chose not to take those fights so he must live with those consequences.
If one is to objectively examine each fighter...one guy who is guilty of ducking can never be Canelo. He has never ducked. I believe him when he says he'll fight "so and so" when he's ready. He said in 2015 he'd fight GGG when he's body was ready for 160 which he forecasted would be 2 years...GGG V Canelo 1 happened in 2017 with the rematch in 2018.
GGG balked with Ward, Canelo/Cotto in 2015 over a few pounds, never acknowledged Lara, passed up on BJS, Andrade, and Dervenchenko. Those are champion caliber opponents. Instead he continued fighting the Vanes of the world and has nobody to blame but himself.
Oh and the reason Canelo is fighting Danny Jacobs in May is because GGG doesn't want the 3rd fight. GGG prefers a different opponent. It's clear as day to those who aren't wearing extremely biased glass lensesComment

No. I had Canelo winning 7-5. All three judges of first fight gave Canelo rounds 1, 2, 10, 11, and 12. Even Dave Moretti who scored the fight for GGG.See, this is the exact reason your a Canelo fanboy and not a boxing fan, you agree Canelo gets preferential treatment so in giving a draw in the first fight the judges must have scored every possible round to Canelo regardless whether he was deserving of that round or not, to have 80% view it as a GGG win is huge, you say all the trainers and fighters said he won the second fight and push that as proof yet more said that GGG won the 1st fight and you are happy to dismiss that, you say look at his face, I say watch Chavez v Taylor and that will prove that wrong, GGGs face looked nearly as bad against rosado yet you dismiss that as well, you find every possible excuse for Canelo, he was willing to dump the belt to avoid GGG and wait 2 years for him to get a bit older, he has been suspended for PED use, but you would forgive anything

I have no clue how anyone could give GGG the 3rd round...it was a dominant Canelo round without question. I also felt the 4th could go either way. I also felt Canelo had a case for the 6th round.
Hell even Harold Lederman gave Canelo the 3rd round and he had Gennady winning by like 10 rounds...
Here's fan scorecards from Eye on the Ring

According to Eye on the Ring it was 6-6. I felt Canelo won the 4th and a case could be made for the 6th. Gennady could make a case for the 10th and 11th round, but I think most of the rounds were close yet clearComment

You try hard with excuses
As usual GGGstans deflect and run when it comes to SOURCES and EVIDENCE.
There is no photoshop. There is no conspiracy.
People who know boxing, like professional boxers and trainers, make better judges than sports telebroadcasters like Jim Lampley or Harold Lederman. This is not up for debate. I post link with Hall of Fame fighters and trainers...you post link with sport center guys Stephen A Smith and Kenny Bayless...

Its irrefutable.
Also, no photoshop. Your boy crush got whooped - deal with it

I like Loma. He's a hell of a fighter and actually backs up his claims to greatness by...fighting the best.
Hell Loma moves up or down in weight and does whatever it takes to...fight!
What's not to like? The guy's a stud!
And I don't expect Loma to fight a monster every time out the same way I don't expect it for Canelo, AJ, TC, Usyk, etc.Comment
