Comments Thread For: Canelo-Jacobs: NSAC To Review Venue Request at 1/29 Hearing

[Jab jab boom]

What 5 fights with bad scorecards are you talking about???

vs trout a judge scored it 10 rounds to 2 for canelo. Draw vs mayweather. 9 rounds to 3 vs lara. 11 rounds to 1 vs cotto. 10 rounds to 2 vs ggg. Regardless of who you think won those fights, those are 5 ridiculous scorecards that weren't even close to representing what took place in each fight. I can't think of 1 single fighter that has had so many scorecards that were that far off. So when you mention that I'm complaining about corrupt or bad scoring, that's because it's been the norm. During the Tyson era, we all went into the fights expecting to see a ko. During the Floyd era, we expected to see a 12 round decision win with not much offense. For canelo, we expect to see close fights with bad scorecards in his favor.

Fairly certain this fight takes place in Vegas. I hope Barclays or MSG become hotbeds for big fights again but without a doubt, Las Vegas continues to be the mecca of boxing. I just hope we get competent judges in case it goes to the scorecards. But aside from that, I love this fight. Two prime middleweights going at it. It doesn't get any better than this.

[Robi13]

ecause he cant weigh over 170 on fight night i believe.

wow is that something Canelos camp required to make the fight or how was that included in their contract, because I'm sure it is. Or was it mandated by the sanctioning bodies involved?

[DaNeutral.]

The good ole Nevada commission. They are so corrupt you dont get employed by them you get made.

There should be no hydration clause, team Canelo are just taking the piss with that **** now.

Certainly agree with everything you just posted. And allow me to say early on it will go to the scorecards. I respect Alvarez, but Jacobs is to technically sound and professional to get KO'd. I am a HUGE Miracle Man fan, but Alvarez is just to good to get KO'd right now and honestly it has been a long while since Jacobs has shown any ability to knock someone out.

To the scorecards we go.....

I don't recall the Cotto, Lara, and Trout cards being that far off but if you say that's what the score cards were then I'll take your word for it.
But regardless, is it Canelo's fault the cards are that far off??
And don't tell me Oscar and Canelo pay off the judges!
If that was the case I'm sure after that many paid off judges there would be an investigation into it and I'm sure after that many paid off judges then at least one would of confessed after interrogation don't you think???
Plus if a judge was being paid off don't you think they would score the fight a little closer than 10-2 as a way to not bring attention to themselves, wouldn't you agree???
So again how is that Canelo's fault his fights bring scoring controversies???

Hey Dummy Is an IBF rule, to not weigh more than 10 pounds the night of the fight. Canelo is also hold to the same rule. So stop your Bïtching and moaning about that, the WBC apparently soon will begin to do the same.

[O.fficial178]

He can weigh more then 170,IBF doesn’t do second day weigh ins on unification fights

I didn't say it was Canelos fault. I just said it's what always seems to happen when Canelo has a big fight. I don't think Canelo would pay judges but I wouldn't put it past Oscar. The dude has already been exposed for doing things that nobody would've thought he'd do, and he gets caught in lie after lie. Good point about paid off judges trying to make the scorecards seem less blatant but.... Then that'd mean that all of these ridiculous scorecards would have to be a coincidence. What are the odds that all of these judges just happen to have off days when it involves Canelo?

I am wondering how well the DAZN app will stream a big fight such as this. I know the canelo vs Rocky fight turned out fine but this is a whole other animal

DAZN did such a bad job with NFL Sunday Ticket in Canada that they had to re-sell the rights back to cable carriers. The service is not capable of handling a real load.
